Boycott Spoons | 05-12-2009 16:26 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | Sheffield

While ordinary drinkers are arrested if they drink in public on the streets of Nottingham, the neo-nazi football hooligans of the EDL were allowed to get drunk on the streets outside Wetherspoons, and seemingly the staff of Lloyds Bar knowingly served alcohol to drunken customers.

Weatherspoons warned not to host EDL

Weatherspoons were telephoned earlier today by concerned nottingham types and they were asked if they understood the potential political and cultural significance of allowing the EDL to openly demo in their pub near the canal this coming Saturday.

22 Days of Waging Peace: Targeting Brimar, Targeting Bloodshed, Remembering Gaza

On 27th December it will be one year since Operation Cast Lead, the brutal 22 day bombing of Gaza by Israeli forces. Target Brimar will be organising 22 days of protest to commemorate not only those killed in Gaza, but those killed by UK/US forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere around the world.

Opposition to Obama, Browne and NATO War and Troop Increase Grow

The Obama prosecution of the Afghan war benefits the Zionist agenda, the Chinese policy of exhausting their Muslim and American foes in fighting each other, petroplutocrats, CIA and ATF heroin distribution and war profiteers as it hemorrhages money to over 1000 imperialist bases around the world. American soldiers died in the last 3 months in FOUR war zones: Afghanistan, Iraq, the Philippines, and in aircrashes in the US.

The following gives the unsavoury flavour of the depth of corruption. The second article goes into greater detail concerning official corruption in this case. It is time honourable Members of Parliament took up the baton and demand answers. The behaviour of police and the judiciary is typical of the Middle Ages, not of the 21st century!
