NEW YEAR REVELLERS STAGE ILLEGAL WAREHOUSE 'RAVE'
An illegal rave was staged by New Years Eve revellers within a disused warehouse at Newnham Lane on the Mill Lane trading estate in Alton.
Some 900 people gathered at the former Laleham Healthcare building for the party which lasted into the early hours of New Years Day.
Police followed a convy of 40-50 viechles - including several camper vans - into Alton at 12.30am on New Years Day. But the vehicles dispersed, heading north towards Odiham. By 2 am police had been alerted to a rave party at Mill Lane.
As the celebration was well away from residential areas and the event seemed to be under control, police decided it would not be practical to call in reinforcements to disperse the party goers.
"By 5am on New Years Day most people had left and there were no barricades on the roads," said a police spokesman.
The incident is being invesigated as a public order offence, but if anything is found to be substantially damaged, then it could be pursued under a criminal damage category.
barricades? WTF? - what on earth makes the cops think ravers deliberately barricade roads. never heard of that happening in 15 years (OTOH sometimes some people just park in daft places!)
they have also heavily played down the number present and the duration of this event (which was certainly going on after 05:00!)
another way of doing things in france you can set up something which makes a small amount of money, enough to pay one or two people, say, and if you can think of a way that it has a cultural benefit, you can get away without a lot of the infamous french buraucracy by calling it association culturel
and in this way what is in essence and spirit a pirate can be heard without harassment>>> L'Eko de Garrugues (recommended for peel fans)
:cool:
Fucked up shit I dont know about anyone else who lives in dark cities, but does the criminality seem to be gettin way out of hand. I mean im just a surrey-bred (one of the lowest crime rates) who moved to bristol, but the shit i've seen and experienced is ludicrus. Back in dorking id been mugged a few times by the same group of people (who had knives), untill a concerned freind had the two blokes legs broken. no hassle since then. Ive been mugged in bristle once for my phone and got some bruised ribs for my trouble. Also two people have tried it on in newcastle but i sang at aload of chavs and they got freaked and ran (not befor i made em shake my hand) and another bloke i elbowed in the face. the first time since school ive hit anyone. To be fair i have massive hair and walk around like i know some secret (the secret of takin pleasure from everything ) plus im skinny and somehow everyone can tell where im from, so i am a likely target. still eight muggings attempted? im only twenty two.
from chillin in the dodgy bits of bristle ive seen some things that tell you there is organised crime and the police are involved. from the couple of smoke-easeez about that ive seen coppers come to take payment from, the hous e on city road that every week has eight coppers pull up in a van, two guard the entrance, they stay ten minuites, the leave and one has a bag. My mate lived next door and opposite, the whole time there was a man sellin crack out of coke cans onthe floor. once a bloke nearly ran over my mate outside a club, we weree all pissed and shouted at him, he got out the car and got a shotgun out of the boot and we legged it. i see that guy everywhere, talking to nearly every club, pub and cafe owner around. fuck knows.Most of the clubs the bouncers run the drugs buisness and dont even maintain any quality. i recon they just sell what they confiscate
Still, it wasnt getting to me untill about amonth ago. Me and my Girl are havin a spliff in the front room watchin blackadder, when there's a knock on the door. ciff goes to answer, and this bloke comes in and goes "we're here for the drugs boys". we let a mate of ours stay round during the summer, he was in a bit of a mess but was also selling most things from the house. i told him to do his buisness down the road and not to give out our addtress, but never happened. So initially i just think its a wind up and strart saying no one here sells, when two more blokes came in behind him in balaclava, one with a twelve inch kitchen knife,. Basicly they'd been given information that there was a coke dealer in the house and they were convinced it was me. so my first mission was to convince them that i wasnt, and that we were skint, with out them torturing us (which they were talkin about). that worked, coz we had no needles on the decks and the tv was a bit fucked. so they got one to take my mate **** down the cashpiont at knife piont (they all had at least one blade) and emptied his and my girls account. The main guy was reletively intelligent, gave us our weed and our phones back, and i got on alevel with him. the cash piont guy was like a fortyfive year old aisian taxi driver or summat, big bags under his eyes, didnt speak. the third guy was mental , he had his knife out the whole time and kept going on about fucked up shit he'd do to us if we were lying or grassed him up. he was only barely controlled by the main guy. luckily noone was hurt, they left.
but **** totally freaked out, couldnt sleep , was throwin up and shit for weeks. my girlfriend was the same. i kind of expected it, after the summer and seeing stuuf in st pauls n easton, but iwas still paranoid. **** made us move house. id just been kicked out of uni and lost my job, so im now back in fucking surrey. bollocks. i just had to get all this shit off my chest, cheers for readin any comments or questions would be well handy to get my head in shape. this why i havent been on the site much...

COMMUNITIES TO UNITE BEHIND POVERTY FIGHT
By Dan Webber, Community Newswire
MONEY Poverty London, Today, 10:50am
Community groups from across the capital are today preparing to come together to help launch the Make Poverty History campaign in London.
Labour MP Oona King will join James Bond star Colin Salmon to carry the word "poverty" into the Museum of Immigration and Diversity on February 22 to symbolically consign poverty to history.
When Nelson Mandela addressed more than 20,000 people in Trafalgar Square earlier this month, he challenged people from across Britain to put pressure on world leaders to eradicate "man-made" poverty.
Adrian Lovett of Oxfam, part of the Make Poverty History coalition, said :``This meeting demonstrates how communities across London are rising to the challenge and demanding that world leaders act.
"They must put an end to the needless poverty that causes 1,200 people to die every hour of every single day."
Susie Symes, chairman of the trustees of 19 Princelet Street, the Museum of Immigration and Diversity, based in Spitalfields, east London, said communities needed to work together to make poverty history.
She said: "For world leaders to listen, they need to hear from many voices. London has a unique richness and diversity of communities, and this meeting shows that Londoners are at the forefront in the campaign to make poverty history.
"When communities work together, they can persuade governments to act."
Following the official launch of the campaign in London, the museum, which is normally open only to advance bookings, will open to the public and give individual's an opportunity to find out more about the campaign.
19 Princelet Street is Europe's first and only museum of immigration and diversity and London's only museum of conscience. It aims to celebrate diversity and use an understanding of the past to build a better future.
Make Poverty History, a coalition of more than 200 charities, campaigns, trade unions, faith groups and celebrities, is the UK arm of the Global Call for Action Against Poverty, a network of organisations representing over 150 million people from 60 different countries. More information about the campaign is available at www.makepovertyhistory.org.
The launch of the Make Poverty History campaign in London will take place at 11am on February 22 at the Museum of Immigration and Diversity, 19 Princelet Street, Spitalfields, London, E1 6QH.
majority rules The recent elections in Denmark showed, once more, that fear is what gouverns the modern man.
And I'm a bit pissed off!
The extreme right "Dansk folkeparti" gained two more seats in the Parlement. Why? Nobody reacts when they say that muslim culture is 'middle age'. (How dare they they say that!!) Nobody lifts an eyebrow when thay say that you have to re-educate the muslim man. Racisme is widely accepted, it appears.
Well, this time around, a new party entered the stage, and I thought they were fucking good. The party was founded on (anarco-) humanistic values and they really had something new and positive to offer. Basically, it was about freedom of the individual and doing politics in order to protect the weakest in the society, meaning the prisoners, the mentally ill, the immigrants, the artists, the people who for one reason or another doesn't want to offer their labour on the free market (for instance, people who wants to do unpaid, volontary work). Finally someone wanting to make politics for human rights! Someone who stated that the individual should have the freedom to make personal, autonomous choices. Self-gouvernment, in other words. The ONLY way to be authentically global!
(and after that little speech...)
This party couldn't even get the 2% acquired to enter the Parlement. Instead the right wing has grown out of proportion. Because people are so afraid of managing their own life. No wonder that they turn more and more fearful. They cling onto the few things that seem solid nowadays:
Populist opinions and material things. Money.
Populism is the opium of the people.
Meanwhile, I realize that democracy is not doing me any good. I always 'loose' and if I don't, a lot of other people will. And this is the model that western countries try to 'export' to poor, primitive countries? How come that this has become the new religion? It is not freedom, it is a cage. I'm sick of the right wing trying to control my life. You wouldn't believe how much money the Danish society spend on administration and control of the individual.
I'm out of here. Officially

Poland not the place to hold an opinion times are hard for people who have 'alternative' lifestyles or opinions to the mainstream in Poland right now...

On 11 December 2004, police attacked a music concert at the ElektroMadonna squat in Częstochowa without showing a warrant, illegally searched the building without independent witnesses present, detained 15, and filed minor drug charges. The motive for the attack is hypothesised to be anti-war organising at the squat.
On 26 January 2005, police in Krakow violently attacked peaceful protestors (pl) (en) opposing war criminal Putin's presence at the 60th anniversary of the freeing of Auschwitz-Birkenau, and detained about 28-35. Police suggested they would charge people for insulting a head of state (Article 136 in criminal law), but as of 29.01.2005, only one person remained accused of this; other charges such as assaulting a police officer remain.
On 28 January 2005, the third attack occurred when police attacked (pl) (en) the Fabryka squat in Warsaw. They refused to show a warrant or to provide their identity numbers, and they beat up a 5-month pregnant activist.
Videos of the Krakow attack and audio files of the Warsaw attack are being widely distributed, calls for the resignation of the police minister Ryszard Kalisz are being made, but your pressure on Prime Minister Belka, President Kwaśniewski and at your local embassy calling (1) for all charges against the victims of the three attacks to be dropped and (2) for Kalisz to be dismissed, might help stop this wave of police violence
:mad:
and now… over to you! Time to go home for the good ol' US Army... there's been an election so democracy has been 'installed' :rolleyes:

US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is paying a one-day visit to Iraq, his eighth in all to the country
In an address to US troops upon landing at the Mosul airfield, he said they had shown "that America is in fact a land of liberators, not a land of occupiers".
But he underlined the importance of local security forces in taking control of the situation: "It is the Iraqis who have to over time defeat the insurgency."
Hours earlier, 10 Iraqi police were killed during a fierce gun battle late on Thursday in Salman Pak, south-east of Baghdad
Read: We've had enough and we're off
I'm wondering what should be done... I don't think it's fair to abandon Iraq to civil war... if the Americans aren't going to see it through... should the UN send security forces to offer?
US : Sopranos finally meet their match – the corporate US media! I'm actually not a great fan of violence in TV dramas or soaps (apart from obvious comedy violence like the Young Ones, Bottom etc!) - TBH I think some of the portrayals of domestic violence in UK and US soap operas have a nasty effect of normalising this behaviour within some sections of society
:( - but of course I simply choose not to watch them. [1] my mother does, and then complains that she is worried to go out because of crime...
OTOH, a soap opera about a Mob family will contain violence (duh!) - what is rather depressing is how quickly the shows writers were made to cave in to a desire for greater censorship, ostensibly not to protect "public morals" but so as not to jeapordise the revenue from a fat contract..
This is something broadcasters in Britain and Europe must be increasingly wary of, as the commercial element increasinly overrides the creative element in our media companies..
following extract from the mediagrauniad 2005-02-02 by Julian Borger in Washington - (c) 2005 Guardian media group..
Quote:
In a record deal, the series about the famously dysfunctional New Jersey mob family has been sold to another cable network by HBO, a subscription cable channel.
The deal, worth a reported $200m (£100m), means repeats of the show will be broadcast on the A&E channel to a much bigger audience, where broadcasting authorities and advertisers have a decisive say on content.
In a year in which the big networks have been fined for showing Janet Jackson's breast, the violence-filled programme is bound to be scrutinised closely.
A&E's president, Abbe Raven, told yesterday's New York Times the network would work with HBO to edit "tailormade" episodes of the show to "meet our broadcast standards". HBO had already anticipated the show's need to clean up its act if it was to earn syndication rights. The cable channel arranged for alternative versions of the most foul-mouthed, violent or sexual scenes to be filmed to make the series easier to bowdlerise.
[1] As a Londoner whose family left the capital because of the fear of crime and violence - I can't help but feel that the obsession Eastenders has with crime, violence and dysfunctional family behaviour is as bad a sterotype of Londoners as the minstrel shows were of black people!

MP slates BBC children's TV duo
A senior Tory MP launched an attack on the website of CBBC's *&^%*&^%*&^%*&^% and Dom in da Bungalow in the Commons, asking whether it was in the public taste.
Peter Luff, the Conservative MP for mid-Worcestershire, attacked site for depicting "grossly embarrassing personal situations".
He invited Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell to his office to watch the show.
She said it was the government's role to develop a BBC charter, but the BBC was responsible for taste and decency.
Mr Luff said: "You can join me in playing How Low Can You Bungalow, a test to see your response to grossly embarrassing personal situations, largely of a lavatorial nature.
"Pants Dancers in the Hall of Fame, photos of children with underwear on their heads, Make *&^%*&^%*&^%*&^% Sick, a game which I think speaks for itself, and finally Bunged Up, in which you play a character in a sewerage system avoiding turtle's poos coming from various lavatories," he said.
'Pure fun'
"Is that really the stuff of public service broadcasting?" Mr Luff added. The BBC defended the show, which is screened on BBC One on Saturday mornings and features presenters Dominic Wood and Richard McCourt, because it said it was aimed at a younger audience.
It gives children a chance to laugh and enjoy themselves at the start of the weekend
BBC statement
"It is pure fun and entertainment, aimed at 8-12 year olds, so it is unsurprising that it doesn't appeal to some adults.
"It gives children a chance to laugh and enjoy themselves at the start of the weekend and we have many letters and e-mails of appreciation for the show, from both children and their parents.
"We do take our role as a public service broadcaster very seriously: any criticisms are always looked into, but have to be addressed in the context of the target audience for the show and its remit to entertain young children," it said.
The show, which features games where adults and children have to shout the word "bogey" as loud as they can in public places, had already courted controversy. Last year, Wood was criticised by media watchdog Ofcom for wearing a t-shirt with a sexual slogan on it.
reefer madness It looks like the govts half-arsed prod at the hornet's nest which is Prohibition haven't saved them from the honest discussions about illegal drugs and cannabis, in particular, which need to take place urgently.
obviously cannabis has different uses
sick people use it for relief from painful symptoms
lots of people use it to open the creative or relective side of themselves or simply to unwind
in fact, the biggest study into long term effects, funded by the american DEA, showed that occasional users were likely to be mentally healthier than their straight counterparts; ie less likely to suffer from stress related disorders or depression
And although it can ecaserbate certain serious mental health problems, can't we be allowed to make informed decisions? :confused:
I mean, everybody knows that drinking loads is bad for you or that you shouldn't eat too much fat or sugar or that you should exercise
can't we be given the information and the freedom[1] to look after ourselves and each other?
I do think some skunk is too strong and sometimes just want a nice bit of swazi grass :o ... it's more sociable... i wouldn't go to the pub and drink neat absynthe all night...in the same way i don't necessarily want to smoke a small amount of hydro and be incapacitated for hours

Cannabis mental health risk probe
The government says it will review all academic and clinical studies linking cannabis use to mental health problems.
The Department of Health says it is now generally agreed among doctors that cannabis is an "important causal factor" in mental illness.
It follows a mental health group's call for the government to investigate "the link between cannabis and psychosis".
Rethink said its reclassification from a Class B to Class C drug sent a "confusing message" to young people.
The charity wants the Commons Health Select Committee to launch an inquiry into the effect cannabis has on users.
Its call was also backed by health campaign group Sane which wants the classification of cannabis to be reversed.
A Department of Health spokesman said it was already commissioning a review.
"We have no objection to the health select committee looking into this," he said.
"However we are in the process of commissioning an expert review of all the academic and clinical evidence of the link between cannabis use and mental health, particularly schizophrenia.
"There is medical clinical evidence now that there is an important causal factor between cannabis use and schizophrenia - not the only factor, but an important causal factor. That is the common consensus among the medical fraternity."
Cannabis was reclassified last year so that police could target hard drugs.
Home Office figures released on Friday showed that arrests for possession of cannabis fell by a third in the first year of its reclassification.
However, Rethink said there had been a 60% increase in people who smoked drugs and had mental health problems in the last five years.
Most medical experts agree that smoking cannabis in itself does not cause mental illness, but that people who are predisposed to psychosis are much more likely to develop symptoms if they use the drug regularly.
"Cannabis is not risk free," Rethink chief executive Cliff Prior said.
"We have known for years that using cannabis makes the symptoms of schizophrenia far worse in people who already have the illness."
Calling for further research, Mr Prior said the government should "concentrate on the real and specific mental health dangers, not general warnings that no-one takes seriously".
Marjorie Wallace, Sane chief executive, said Sane has campaigned for 18 years about "the destructive link between cannabis and schizophrenia" and that professionals and governments had ignored years of "mounting evidence".
"Far from it being a relatively harmless recreational drug - for vulnerable people, especially teenagers, the innocent spliff in the playground, or chilling out, could trigger a journey of lifelong disintegration," she said.
But Steve Barker, of the Campaign to Legalise Cannabis Association, said that by prohibiting cannabis it was preventing information about its use being readily available, while cannabis could in fact aid those with medical problems.
"There is a larger proportion of people with mental health problems who claim cannabis reduces their symptoms than those for whom it is a problem," he said.
"To criminalise people and to put them though the criminal justice system rather than give them the medical support they need is completely wrong."

UK : S. London bar accused of license breach because customers danced.. Incidentally, I cannot find any mention of Michael Howard supporting harsher licensing laws on the Conservatives own website, despite there being a transcript of other parts of Howards speech on there - nor on the Wimbledon Conservatives' own website....
But a large newspaper group cannot put words into a politicans mouth without being sued - and from the previous track record of Howard I can well believe he did say what is reported. So why is he afraid to repeat it on his website, so close to an election? So much for their claims of "smaller government/no nanny state"

Don't dance or we'll be nicked Jan 27 2005
Wimbeldon Post
A BAR could face prosecution after customers could not help dancing when music was played.
Walkabout in The Broadway, Wimbledon, is being investigated by Merton council because it does not have a licence for customers to dance.
The Australian bar has taken action by having the warning, "No dancing please" printed on T-shirts worn by staff.
Merton council's head of planning and public protection, Councillor Steve Clark, confirmed the authority was investigating a licensing issue at the bar.
The investigation comes as many residents expressed concern about new licensing laws that could see drinking hours extended.
A spokesman for Walkabout said: "Regent Inns [owners of Walkabout] has wide-reaching measures in place to ensure that, where its venues do not have public entertainment licences, they are compliant with licensing legislation, and this includes training managers on how to curb dancing in venues where it is not permitted."
At a meeting this month, the council brought in firmer rules governing licensing.
But the Conservative opposition said the regulations were not strong enough, a point echoed by Tory leader Michael Howard in his speech in Wimbledon on Thursday last week.
UK : Scot : Waterstones sacks blogger TBH although I consider blogs to be rather self-indulgent (and potentially incriminating to people like us!) - and its well known that corporates and public sector organisations are paranoid over what their employees may say on the net, I can't believe a bookseller in a modern European country which permits free speech would do this... I will certainly boycott them after this!

Waterstone's throws book at blogger
By Tim Richardson
Published Tuesday 11th January 2005 12:40 GMT
Bookseller Waterstone's has sacked a long-serving employee for writing a blog. Joe Gordon from Edinburgh, who worked for the company for t11 years, says he was dismissed because he "brought the company into disrepute".
His Woolamaloo Gazette was started in 1992 and is a satirical diary that, in Gordon's own words, enables him "to vent steam on stories which are bugging me or amusing me and hopefully make people think at the same time".
While most of the material he covers does not involve his work, he does occasionally mention his time at Waterstone's. As he puts it: "Like many folk I am not always happy at work...and coin terms such as 'Bastardstone's' and have a character called 'Evil Boss' (my equivalent to Dilbert's Pointy Haired Boss - in fact I compared head office directives to being in a Dilbert cartoon)."
While many people have already judged these this to be harmless, Waterstone's appears to believe they provide sufficient grounds for dismissal. Now Mr Gordon is angry at the way he's been treated and believes that, if the company was so offended, the matter could have been dealt with just a "quiet word".
Wrote Gordon: "I am not a serf; I am not an indentured servant. I am a free man with the right of freedom of expression. The company does not own me, body and soul - conforming to their rules at work is to be expected, but in your own time and space? How can anyone be expected to go through their personal life in fear of saying the wrong thing? No-one should.
"This has left me dreadfully upset. That a company I have given so many years to could treat me in such a brutal manner is despicable. That a book company thinks so little of the primacy of freedom of expression is alarming. I pointed out that Waterstone's has stated publicly several times in the past that as a bookseller they believe in the freedom of expression and not in censorship."
As well as winning the support of other bloggers Gordon has also won the backing of author Richard Morgan, who has added his voice to the chorus of complaints over the sacking. In a letter to the company he wrote: "While I don't wish to interfere in company business, I have to say I think this bears comparison with taking disciplinary action based on private conversation overheard in a pub, and raises some disturbing issues of freedom of speech. Waterstone's is, after all, a bookseller, whose stock in trade is the purveying of opinion, not all of it palatable to those concerned.
"You sell books which offer serious critique of the corporate environment and government, but do not expect to suffer punitive action from government or corporate quarters as a result. You sell books which criticise and satirise religious and political groups, but you do not expect to be firebombed by extremists as a result. Surely Joe has the right to let off steam in his free time without having to fear for his livelihood as a result.
"The action that has been taken so far bears more resemblance to the behaviour of an American fast food chain than a company who deal in intellectual freedoms and the concerns of a pluralist liberal society."
Despite repeated attempts to contact Waterstone's no one was available for comment at the time of writing. ®
UK : NE : pupils pelt cops, after head threatens to ban discos! LOL I wonder if they were the same Geordie kids who were on our guestbooks a few months back?

Disco rumours spark pupil protest
Police were called to a Northumberland school after up to 100 pupils demonstrated amid rumours that a new head teacher planned to ban discos.
Students from Hirst High School in Ashington gathered before lessons on Friday, chanting and waving banners.
At one point eggs were thrown at police but there was no damage and no arrests.
Northumberland County Council said the action was "based on unfounded rumours of such issues as the banning of non-uniform days and discos".
Police said between 70 and 100 students at the 870-pupil school took part in the demonstration.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "The pupils were agitated and later dispersed but we are continuing to monitor the situation throughout the day, working in conjunction with the school."
The council condemned what it said was the "irresponsible actions of what appears to be a planned protest by a small minority of pupils outside the entrance".
drugs legislation: ‘when, not if’ http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/if/4152375.stm
[HTML]The chances are that most of us will live to see drugs prohibition replaced with a system of regulation and control.
By 2020, if Transform's timeline is right, the criminal market will have been forced to relinquish its control of the drug trade and government regulation will be the norm.[/HTML]
can we really wait this long?
[HTML]With regard to tobacco, gambling and drinking, both John Reid and Tessa Jowell have clearly stated recently that prohibition doesn't work.
A useful question to ask is: what are the successful commodity prohibitions of the last hundred years?
If you are struggling to remember any successful prohibitions, it may be because there are none.[/HTML]
[HTML]US and UK domestic and foreign policy are now intimately intertwined with prohibition.
With regard to domestic policy, prohibition identifies convenient scapegoats and drug-war enemies to rally the electorate around.
Many law enforcement agencies have an investment in prohibition.
Prison builders, police, customs, CIA, MI5, and the FBI are funded to a great extent to fight the war on drugs
The drug war is also enormously useful to the US in continuing its adventures in foreign countries in which it has an interest - see Latin America, Afghanistan, the Middle East, south east Asia and the Caribbean.
Global prohibition is enforced through the UN (for which read US). It is supported by more than 150 UN member states, many of whom - including the UK - do not wish to fall foul of the US.[/HTML]
it's going to be a long road if we have to wait for the US administration to start acting in the interests of it's own citizens, let alone those of the rest of the world.
