The recently launched "Doodle 4 Google" campaign is a slick method of promoting Google to school children, without their consent, and usually without the consent of their parents. It is a scheme that is heavy on Google brand recognition, but very low on curricular relevance; this is something that CCFE has come to expect from commercial schemes that are promoted in schools. read full story / add a comment

Here is an extract from an interview with Maryam Namazie who argues that Political Islam makes abolishing the Death Penalty more difficult. Full text at link.

IPS: Your organisation campaigns for the separation of religion and state. In Muslim countries, is it religion, more than anything else that prevents the abolition of the death penalty?

Maryam Namazie: The death penalty exists in quite a large number of countries and is a form of social control still exercised by states, not all of them ruled by Islamic laws (I wouldn't call them Muslim countries any more than I would call Britain and France Christian ones). The U.S. and China are good examples of this. read full story / add a comment

Veteran rights campaigner Peter Tatchell makes an impassioned plea in today’s London Independent for the rights of the thousands of animals languishing under the voyeuristic gaze of the gawping squawking horde that visits London Zoo each day. Cutting through all the prison/ Zoo’s PR spin , Peter points out that its primary concern lies in satisfying the prurience of these cash-cow visitors , and not in animal conservation .

The Danish evening paper, Ekstra Bladet, reports that foreign minister Per Stig Moeller has provided the parliament with written documentation to show that the prime minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, was aware of a UN report indicating that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, eleven days before the government submitted a parliamentary bill to invade Iraq. Fogh has previously denied all knowledge of the report.
This development may signal a rift in the Liberal-Conservative coalition and ultimately lead to a parliamentary majority to launch an investigation of Denmark's participation in the invasion. read full story / add a comment
