Private security fine the public on Public streets in Leeds

Leeds Council sign cosy deal in which a Tory councillor run private security firm will fine the public on public streets in a breathtaking reduction of civil rights.

UG#628 - Asking Forbidden Questions (Why Do People Put Up With Capitalism?)

This week we learn how much effort has been put to making people assume that the virtues of capitalism are beyond question. We hear three Marxian commentators offering their own angles on the development of capitalism in USA, interspersed with a reprise of Noam Chomsky from episode 29 on the elite's determination to control the public mind lest the democratic state serve the wishes of the majority rather than the privilege of the few.

EDL Numpties Achieve Nothing In Manchester - #edl #nwi @slatedl @misslbuttercup

The EDL got absolutely nothing from today's visit to Manchester, leaving its braindead devotees so absolutely bored shitless, afterwards came a mad dash to jump naked into the canal at Canal Street (possibly wandering where the EDL's Gay Division had vanised to). After the usual run-of-the-mill speeches, anti-fascists will be pleased to know nothing has changed, Tommy, Kev and Hel still in-charge of the EDL, and not the French Revolution-like leadership change that many members had prayed incessantly to Nutzi Norse God "Odin" for.

EDL Leadership Are Attending Manchester #edl @slatedl #NWI @misslbuttercup

From a fresh tweet taken in the last hour, the EDL leadership are "wetting their pants" absolutely looking forward to visiting Manchester, which proves the "Uniting The Right" rubbish was a trap laid on by KKKev Carroll to get the rebels all back to pay subserviant lipservice to Tommy's deputies - the infamous "and universally loved" Hel Gower and Kevin Carroll, lol! All of those idiots such as the NWI, who seriously believe the terrible twosome, with their "muggy mushrooms" talk are not welcome in the North - think again. You idiots are being used to cement Kev and Hel's popularity.

EDL Manchester - Dissidents Will Kiss Kev Carroll's Arse #edl #nwi #SLATEDL

Worryingly short of merchandising revenue, Kev Carroll and his motley crew of losers have opened the door to the Muggy Mushrooms who Kev likes to call "splitters", to French-kiss his pimply, pock-marked arse and return apologetically to the EDL fold. From the NWI to the Casuals, to the NF and the Salford branch of the BNP to the Combined ex Forces, all "nationalists" in the UK are cordially invited to sacrificially surrender their own political identities to help maintain Kev Carroll and Hel Gower's grip on power in the most audacious British fascist backslapping exercise of all time.

Jeff Marsh Indeed Officially Surrenders #edl #jeffmarsh @slatedl

The news everybody heard is indeed true, Mister Jeffrey Marsh Esquire from Cardiff (Joe Casuals), the cowardly founder of dumbarse ex-hooligan Casuals United, the middle-aged hot-air specialist, famous for getting all psychopath and stabbing Man United fans including children, yet talking absolute shite about anarchists being scared of him, has escaped to Sunny Spain to escape the attentions of UK Antifa.

DEFRIEND YOUR ONLINE NAZI "FRIENDS" (EDL MANCHESTER) #edl #uaf #antifa

Whenever the EDL and their fascist kind come out to play, (albeit in diminished numbers) the maggot larvae of organised racial hatred crawl out of the woodwork throughout social media, people most of the time silent about politics and such like, all of a sudden, inexplicably pop up, out of character, openly lending their support to the neo-nazi scum.

Jeff Marsh "Comes Out" On Twitter As Being Gay #edl #lgbt

Perhaps the most surprising tweet of them all, was this afternoon when violent racist ex-soccer hooligan "Joe Casuals" (Jeff Marsh to you or I) openly came out as "gay". This is the sadistic racist former EDL thug who enjoys slashing Manchester United fans with sharp knives for fun, and many of his mates do stiff arm nazi salutes and use the hashtag #14/88, and now he has supposedly come out of the closet, putting himself at risk of homophobia from his nazi mates.

State Using ‘Secret Evidence’ To Try And Keep John Bowden Behind Bars

For the past 30 years John Bowden has been at the forefront of the British prison struggle, and is by far our most prolific prisoner writer. Time and again, John’s articles have shone a searchlight into the State’s murky dungeons, exposing brutality and repression, and challenging the very nature of prison. For many years now, John has been held in jail because of his political views and his willingness to challenge injustice. That has never been clearer than now, as the State attempts to use ‘secret evidence’ to keep him behind bars.

UG#596 - Lifting The Lid on The NSA (Secret Rooms, Infiltration, Menwith Hill)

This week we learn more about NSA, which no longer limits its activities to mere intelligence gathering. Whistle-blower Mark Klein tells how he broke the NSA's unwarranted wiretapping scandal, Kevin Zeese speaks on a century of political infiltration of US political movements, and infiltration of Occupy movements and we conclude with researcher Steve Schofield on the NSA's largest base in Europe.

UG#597 - The Psychology of Transition (Undoing Millennia of Social Control)

This week three speakers on the ongoing transition. Bruce Schneier begins by speaking about threats to the internet and social change, Robert Jensen speaks on the naturalization of violence against women, Rob Hopkins speaks on transition culture. We conclude by returning to Debt, The First 5000 Years.

UG#594 - Occupy 2.0 (Peer Produced Politics)

This week we hear three different perspectives on the ongoing Occupy movement. Firstly, an open letter to the police by occupier Reverend Richard Lang. Then Noam Chomsky on how to broaden Occupy and on its relationship to the US Republicrat kabuki. Finally P2P theorist Michel Bauwens sets Occupy in the context of emerging peer production. We conclude with another reading from chapter 7 of David Graeber's Debt, The First 5000 Years.
