Brian Haw: Freedom of expression over political repression! tis bleak in the free world
Quote:
government wins appeal against brian haw's peace protest
the serious organised crime and police act came into force on the 1st august last year, section 132 of which requires any person intending to hold a demonstration near parliament to seek authorisation from the police and to adhere to any conditions that the police may apply.
brian haw won a court case in july last year against the home secretary and the metropolitan police which gave him permission to apply for judicial review, and quashed some provisions of the act, on the basis that it could not apply to his continuing demonstration that had started in june 2001.
he won the case and since august 1st his demonstration has been the ONLY one that has not needed police permission. however, the home sec and the met appealed against this decision, and today's verdict was the response to that appeal.
the appeal has been allowed.
section 132 DOES apply to brian haw
costs have been set aside and brian will not be made to pay any costs.
permission to appeal to the house of lords is REFUSED
permission to stay in parliament square pending any petition to the lords is also REFUSED.

Quote:
Earlier this month Court of Appeal judges overturned a ruling that allowed him to carry out his protest, which he began in June 2001.
It meant he had to apply for police permission - which was granted on 9 May.
But he was told to keep his numerous anti-war placards to within three metres - police say he has repeatedly breached his conditions.
Mr Haw said: "It seems I am going to die in this place now because I'm going to be fasting and praying.
"They have left me with just one placard. All of my personal belongings have been taken and dumped in a container along with nearly all the displays.
"They have completely destroyed all the expressions of people who opposed the war in Iraq."
Police overpowered two supporters who had climbed on top of a metal container at the side of the square to blow whistles and wave a banner declaring "Freedom of expression over political repression".
Officers removed the placards at 0235 BST, saying Mr Haw had breached conditions of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005.
Doug Jewell, from civil rights group Liberty, said: "The government's intolerance has surely reached a fever-pitch when 50 police are sent in to dismantle one man's peaceful protest in the middle of the night."
Mr Haw has slept in Parliament Square among a large display of anti-war banners, placards and flags, many presented to him by well-wishers.
But such a permanent fixture proved an irritant to his neighbours in the House of Commons.

ID cards safe as can be…. Hmmmm.....how could anything go wrong
An internal investigation at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has found that civil servants are colluding with organised criminals to steal personal identities on "an industrial scale"
Proposed US ‘anti-social network’ legislation Taken from:
http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2006/05/11/antisocial_netw.html
"Earlier, i spoke about how the MySpace panic was likely to cause legislation proposals. Today, Congressperson Fitzpatrick proposed legislation to amend the Communications Act of 1934 "to require recipients of universal service support for schools and libraries to protect minors from commercial social networking websites and chat rooms." This legislation broadly defines social network sites as anything that includes a Profile plus an ability to communicate with strangers. It covers social networking sites, chatrooms, bulletin boards. Obviously, the target is MySpace but most of our industry would be affected. Blogger, Flickr, Odeo, LiveJournal, Xanga, MySpace, Facebook, AIM, Yahoo! Groups, MSN Spaces, YouTube, eBaumsworld, Slashdot. It would affect Wikipedia if there wasn't a special clause for non-commercial sites. Because many news sites (NYTimes, CNN, the Post) allow people to login and create profiles and comment, it might affect them too.
Because it affects both libraries and schools, it will dramatically increase the digital divide. Poor youth only gain access to these sites through libraries and schools. With this ban, poor youth will have no access to the cultural artifacts of their day. Furthermore, because libraries won't be able to maintain separate 18+ and minor computers, this legislation will affect everyone who uses libraries, including adults.
This legislation is horrifying and culturally damaging. Please, all of you invested in social technologies, do something to make this stop."

UK : NTL to axe loads of jobs, more call centres bangalored And they don't even have enough resources to look after their infrastructure or keep their existing customers!
They are already passing overspill calls to India anyway...
NTL 'to axe 4,000 jobs'
NTL will this week announce that 4,000 jobs in the UK are to be lost following its merger with cable rival Telewest.Head office roles will be cut and call centre jobs transferred overseas in a shake-up that affects one in every four members of staff, according to the Independent on Sunday.
Details are expected when NTL publishes its first-quarter results on Tuesday, but there will be little impact on Virgin Mobile which is being run as a separate business following its £962 million purchase last month.
The report said NTL plans to close the Woking head office of Telewest and some of the staff will be moved to its own base at Hook in Hampshire. It is also understood that most of the combined group's call centres will be outsourced, with some of the jobs going to offshore centres in India. A spokeswoman for NTL declined to respond to the report, saying the company did not comment on rumour or speculation.
NTL has radically reshaped itself since emerging from bankruptcy protection in 2003, beginning with a major financial overhaul to generate new capital and reduce interest repayment charges.
It organised a rights issue to raise £824.3 million and trimmed its workforce, with 1,500 call centre staff losing their jobs in cuts announced two years ago.
NTL and Telewest employ around 17,000 workers in the UK and the Independent on Sunday said that cuts in marketing operations are also expected on Tuesday in addition to the job losses in call centres and head offices.
The news will be a fresh blow to British industry after mobile phone giant Orange announced plans last week to axe up to 2,000 jobs under a review of its operational costs. Rival telecoms firm Cable & Wireless warned in February that it may reduce its 5,500-strong UK workforce to between 2,500 and 3,500 over the next four to five years.
It is thought that the full integration of NTL and Telewest will take up to 18 months so some of the losses will not be immediate. Voluntary redundancies and vacant positions not being filled will make up some of the cuts.
NTL merged with Telewest in March to create the largest provider of residential broadband services in the UK. It has indicated that savings will total £250 million over the next three years. The tie-up with Telewest was followed by the acquisition of Virgin Mobile, making it the first operator with a 'fourplay' offer of pay TV, internet access, fixed-line telephony and mobile calls.

Documentary: The Power of Nightmares Part 3 of 3 [google]4729189253956590972[/google]
This film explores the origins in the 1940s and 50s of Islamic Fundamentalism in the Middle East, and Neoconservatism in America, parallels between these movements, and their effect on the world today.
From the introduction to Part 1:
"Both [the Islamists and Neoconservatives] were idealists who were born out of the failure of the liberal dream to build a better world. And both had a very similar explanation for what caused that failure. These two groups have changed the world, but not in the way that either intended. Together, they created today's nightmare vision of a secret, organized evil that threatens the world. A fantasy that politicians then found restored their power and authority in a disillusioned age. And those with the darkest fears became the most powerful. " The Power of Nightmares, Baby It's Cold Outside.
