Community Assemblies – a revolutionary devolution?

Council Ax | 26-07-2008 14:43 | Analysis | Sheffield

In the dulcet tones of a charging bull, Paul Scriven, leader of Sheffield Council and chief commandant of the local Liberal Democrats, ushered in a new era at Sheffield Council. The big idea is to change Area Panels, the twelve erratic local government love children that are dotted around Sheffield, into seven Community Assemblies.

Is the 9/11 "Pentagon Hole" a Psyop to Distract from Real Questions?

Erik Larson | 18-07-2008 13:24 | Analysis | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

It's understandable some believe "no 757" hit the Pentagon due to the heavy promotion of that idea, but there's no actual evidence. The theory is being used to mock and discredit the 9/11 Truth Movement, & to give Congress and the media a reason to avoid real questions about 9/11. The military drilled for 9/11-style attacks, & they came after years of warnings that Al Qaeda intended to hijack planes for missiles.

Dear Camp for Climate Action

make the middle class history | 14-07-2008 11:07 | Sheffield | World

Firstly thank you for contacting me. I'm hopping mad about what I've
heard, but I may not have been told the whole story. I can tell you too
the mining community whats left of us feel utterly betrayed by rumours
about you swinging all your efforts to close down what remains of the coal
industry. There are debates about counter-demonstrations etc and press
statements from the power workers and miners. So its vital we do not take
up cudgels over this unless and until and at least that we know where each
other stand. I was a matter of interest with the National General
secretary of the NUM and the Yorkshire Area Leadership last weekend and
they are spitting feathers about the Drax demonstration. The slogans on
the demonstration and the statements made to the press by the protestsrs
demonstrated no concern for the miners, railway workers or power workers.
There was no consultation with us, no debate with us, no seeing what we
wanted or how we see the world or how we can see if there is anything is
common. 'Leave It In The Ground' was the banner which was unfurled at
Drax, 'it' being the coal, and the miners ? where do we leave them ? that
bit wasn't answered. We know where John Major and Maggie Thatcher and
Harold Wilson left us, on the dung heap, and most of us are still there.
