Justice and Interior Ministers Meeting 15-17th June PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 13 May 2005
From the 15th - 17th June the Justice and Interior Ministers from the eight most powerful countries in the world - the G8 - will meet in Sheffield

Groups of local people are coming together to show them how unwelcome they and their painful policies are. But also to create space where we can share experiences, learn from each other, and explore alternatives through which we can prioritise the needs, dignity and joy of people and protect our environment.

Noise Demo at International Energy Roundtable - London PDF Print E-mail

International Energy and Environment Ministers Roundtable

March 15th 2005

 "POTS  AND  PANS  NO!SE  DEMO!"
 The Brewery, 52 Chiswell Street, 12 noon


 On 15th March, in the build-up to the G8 Summit in Scotland in July this year the Labour Government will share its future vision of market environmentalism with 20 countries (including the G8 themselves).

So will they practice what they preach or preach what they practice?

         £5.5 billion road-building programme to build 200+ new roads. 

Airport expansion (12 new runways across Britain); refuse to tax aviation fuel despite government promises to tax polluting industries

          £500 million of public money for export guarantees to the oil and gas sector per year in the last three years via the UK Export Credit Guarantee Department (ECGD).

             Nuclear energy classed as 'green' with Labour plans for more reactors

Why leave the future stability of the planet in the hands of these profit-driven megalomaniacs as ecological and social justice is pillaged worldwide.

Help us meet the system's violence with creative defiance - join us on the streets in solidarity with the millions around the world already suffering from climate change and other injustices... and above all, make some noise!

SOUND SYSTEM / DRUMS / bring POTS AND PANS.

SEE www.londonrisingtide.org.uk for further details in
 the build up to the action.

FINANCIAL G7 - BANKRUPT !

Referring to the latest wave of ‘mega-mergers' in America, The Guardian business leader last weekend rather inanely asked, "Should we care that we seem to be careering towards some sort of Blade Runneresque world, where a handful of corporations own and run absolutely everything?"

Welcome to the financial G7.......
