Dale Farm Travellers: save our babies! London solidarity demonstration, 4 December 2008

from email, 11 November 2008:

We mothers at Dale Farm, the largest Travellers' village in Britain, which is being threatened with total destruction, ask you to join our rally outside the Royal Courts of Justice.

The live of our babies, including the unborn triplets of one of our young mothers, are going to be on the line if we lose this case.

So please come along on Thursday, 4 December 2008, and stand with us outside the Court of Appeal, Strand (London) at 11.30 to lpm.

It may mean an hour in the cold but you'll be in warm company!

Especially we're asking those who took part in the protest outside the Italian Embassy against what is happening to Roma to stand with us here in London - like our fellow Roma, our life is being made illegal, our children are being terrorised by riot police and bailiffs, and our homes bulldozed.

Basildon council is spending three million pounds to drive 1,000 illegal Travellers and Gypsies out of the district. Yet we own our own land and want nothing from the council but a permit to live here.

We hope you will show your disgust at this ethnic-cleansing and not only come to this rally but if we lose the case also join us in defending our homes against eviction.

CAN WE SAVE DALE FARM? YES WE CAN!

Police Review: magazine cartoon - "In staggeringly poor taste"

from J4J campaign, 18 November 2008: We would imagine that, in the midst of the inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, publications aimed at and widely read by serving police officers would show greater sensitivity in the way they talk about fatal shootings by the police. But evidently not. The magazine "Police Review", in its 14 November edition, decided that the introduction of new rules preventing firearms officers from conferring after a shooting was best illustrated by this appalling cartoon. more
