Yaxley Lennon's Browned Underpants | 06-01-2011 12:42 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | Liverpool | Sheffield

Media Lens Alert: Tilting Towards Israel

Journalist Jonathan | 04-01-2011 17:06 | Palestine | Sheffield | World

Towards the end of last year, we sent out two media alerts - Put The Palestinians On A Diet and Too Toxic To Handle? - about the corporate media's failure to report the release of documents detailing Israel's deliberate policy of near-starvation for Gaza. "The idea", explained a senior Israeli official, "is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger." The human rights group Gisha published explicit Israeli formulas for the amount of food, animal feed and poultry to be allowed into Gaza, and the cold calculation of "breathing space": the number of days before these essential supplies would run out.

Sheffield to Import Waste?

Toxic Smoke | 03-01-2011 20:45 | Ecology | Energy Crisis | Health | Sheffield

It's always interesting when councils and their major contractors run public consultations nicely placed over the Christmas period, as if to catch the public unaware of a deadline for responses on, let's say, 15th January. This is the case with the proposal to ship in up to 50,000 tonnes of waste for Bernard Road Incinerator. It would come from surrounding towns and counties, by heavy lorries presumably. That's not likely to be controversial is it?
