offsite link Fifty Ways to Leave the European Convention on Human Rights Fri Apr 19, 2024 17:28 | Dr David McGrogan
Rishi Sunak has once again been dropping hints about leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. This is not credible, says Dr David McGrogan: such a feat would require a Government far more serious than this one.

offsite link Woke Activists Need to Read Their David Hume Fri Apr 19, 2024 11:16 | Dr James Allan
The great Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume would have some things to teach today's woke activists, says Prof James Allan: about a mind-independent reality that has no truck with claims of 'my truth'.

It's been a wet winter and this is bad news for farmers, says Ben Pile. But with agricultural yields increasing sharply over recent decades, there's no reason to link it to climate change or start catostrophising about it.

Statement - Torun alterglobalists + UA

category international | summit mobilisations | news report author Tuesday April 20, 2004 02:34author by Torun alterglobalists Report this post to the editors

statement by Torun alterglobalists regarding systematic
police scare tactics; urgent support action requested from
cyberactivists

Statement - Torun

As representatives of anarchist and libertarian groups in
Torun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torun), we would like
to express our unease at the actions of the Bydgoszcz
District Police Command whose aim is the surveillance of
the Torun alterglobalist community with regards to the
28-40 April protests against the European Economic Forum
in Warsaw. The methods used by the police (including
visits to private homes without warrants, attempts to
engage in "private" contacts with participants in the
movement, psychological pressure exerted on third parties)
are a threat to the fundamental democratic right to free
expression of one's point of view and free speech. If this
type of police action were to escalate, then the
alterglobalist community of Torun and the whole
Kujawsko-Pomorska district would be interested in the
situation and in reports by colleagues in the Helsinki
Foundation for Human Rights (http://www.hfhrpol.waw.pl).

Alterglobalist groups, Torun

ACTION:
Please send polite but carefully worded emails to the
local politicians and corporate media organisations below,
* [to both] expressing your discomfort at the fact that
the Kujawkso-Pomorska police are returning to systematic
scare tactics against independent political groups in
Poland just as they did during the Communist epoch
* [to politicians] requesting political leaders to
guarantee that this systematic scare campaign ceases
immediately and that a public apology is made to the Torun
alterglobalist community
* [to corporate media] expressing the hope that the media
will expose these systematic human rights violations
