Save Castle Mill Boatyard
, 30.03.2005 01:21
Update (11/03/05): The planning enquiry is ongoing and will continue on 16th-17th May. Meanwhile British Waterways have served a notice for repossession of the site. More details here.
This historic boatyard in the heart of Jericho is about to be closed if the planning enquiry (8th March ongoing) finds in favour of British Waterways and Bellway Homes, (yes you guessed it - more luxury apartments are being planned).
This site has been a boatyard for over 150 years, and continues to provide an essential service for residential and pleasure craft. If this closes, it will force boatowners to travel a day each way to get their MOT equivalent (can you imagine the furore if car drivers were made to do a similar thing?). It is even more essential for emergency repairs as it is the only boatyard in the region which has a crane lift to clean and repair hulls.

Revolutionary Communists Take on Christian Fascists Over Schiavo
, 30.03.2005 00:01
"One thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo to elevate the visibility of what's going on in America." Tom DeLay, Congressman from Texas, House Republican Majority Leader, Tom DeLay is a powerful right-winger who wraps his ambitions in a frenzied god-speak. He is the cynical manipulator, who redistricted Texas to disenfranchise political opponents, and is now rewriting congressional ethics procedures to rescue himself from his own colossal corruption. He is an aggressive liar, who recently dared describe Terri Schiavo as "lucid." But, for a half second there among allies, he let out something true. This huge national power struggle over Terri Schiavo's fate has, in fact, elevated the visibility of what's going on in America.

RNC Protestor Pleads Guilty to Attempted Assault: 7 Months in Prison
, 30.03.2005 00:01
During last August's Republican Convention protests, police penned in protestors in one location. Plainclothes police officers rode unmarked motor scooters into the non-violent crowd, running over a woman's foot and ramming protestors. One protestor, Jamal Holiday, was accused of kicking an officer and has pleaded guilty to attempted assault after being held 7 months in jail on $250,000 bail. No word yet from RNCLegal about this update. No word yet either from the Young Republicans, one of whom was filmed kicking an ACT-UP protestor as she was dragged to the ground. Concerns have been raised in the movement around attention paid to white activist arrests at events like Critical Mass compared to arrests of young black protestors like Jamal.
