EDL FORGE LINKS WITH CHILDRENS SOCIETY CHARITY: @edlnews @slatedl @misscheeky666

The Yorkshire Division of the EDL, who now retweet neo-nazi NWI posts on their facebook pages, are claiming to have struck a friendship with local anti-child abuse campaigners in Halifax, West Yorkshire. A registered charity who campaign against child abuse from all ethnic backgrounds, the Children's Society have been unwittingly been linked to the EDL's racialisation of crime.

UG#707 - Returning To Earth (Fungus, Fermentation and Food)

This time we leave Deep Politics for a change of pace, and focus instead on earthier matters. Beginning with a reading of Ivan Illich's "Declaration on Soil", we look closely at the source of our food, and the humble and often overlooked organisms without which larger life forms could not live or even digest their food. Philosophy and theory are not forgotten, but this a more practical show than usual, including advice on growing and fermenting food.

UG#706 - When Are Terrorists Not Terrorists? (States assassinating by drones)

We focus on drone technology, looking at the relationship between language and law. A range of speakers explain how the framing of the War On Terror has served the US military's purposes, and note that the US keeps details of its pretexts for state sponsored assassinations by drone as vague as possible. Plausible deniability is only needed if people are in a position where their actions are subject to informed questions. The core of this week's show is made up with a set of speeches from a 2015 meeting about the use of drone warfare, introduced by Bruce Gagnon and augmented by SAS whistleblower, Ben Griffin and a few classic words of Chris Hedges on how war affects its participants.
