!!! Save THE Rutland !!!

Luther Blissett | 13-12-2006 07:57 | Culture | Sheffield

Just in case you didn’t know – The Rutland Arms, located on the corner of Brown Street is due to close around the 22nd of December 2006.

This is an amazing pub and beer garden and has served us all well. It deserves to be listed as a place of cultural significance, protected and celebrated. It cannot be turned into luxury apartments - it needs to remain a pub.

Whose War on Whose Terror? Reclaiming Our Rights

Yesterday, I was fortunate to have been one of the opening plenary speakers at the 'Reclaiming Our Rights' conference at the Human Rights and Social Justice Institute at the London Metropolitan University, organized mainly by the Campaign Against Criminalising Communities (CAMPACC). It was an excellent conference bringing together some of the leading dissident organizations involved in political activism against the anti-terror laws. Speakers included people like Craig Murray, former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan; Mark Thomas, political comedian and journalist; Gareth Pierce, leading human rights lawyer; Brian Haw, the permanent Parliament Square protestor; among many others.

Into the Ring with Counterpunch on 9/11

How Alexander Cockburn, Otherwise So Bright, Blanks Out on 9/11 Evidence

The first thing to say by way of preliminaries—and I’d better get it in quickly before someone suggests that I’ve turned up late or over-weight for a pre-match weighing-in—is that I’m not overjoyed with the pugilistic metaphor of my title.

But some sort of response to the volley of attacks on 9/11 researchers and activists with which the Counterpunch website marked the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 seems called for.
