A message from Eleanor

Please sign this petition and tell the Home Secretary of the UK that you believe deportation to torture is wrong. The people he is targeting are innocent - but even were they guilty of anything no human being should be deported to a country where they could be tortured. Please help these political pawns, these innocent men - some of whom were tried in the ridiculous 'ricin plot' trial and found innocent - there was no ricin and there was no plot - it was a MI5 set-up that was laughed at by the jury!!
Other targets have never even been questioned!!!! but are in prison or under control orders. Imagine being a suspect with no chance to answer the accusations against you. Imagine seeking refuge only to be used in a political game!

Neuer "Atlas der Globalisierung" erschienen

Die Globalisierung macht sich die Welt untertan. Immense Kapital- und Datenströme, ungebremster Warenverkehr und massive Migrationsbewegungen haben den Planeten zum globalen Dorf verkleinert. Doch haben die neuen Märkte und Mobilitäten keine gerechtere Ordnung geschaffen, vielmehr drohen der Weltgemeinschaft ungeahnte Konflikte und dramatische Verwerfungen.

If you missed it at the LibDem conference, the Mobile Operators Association are also sponsoring the establishment /big biz counter to informed criticism (or 'media scare stories' as they prefer to call them), at both the other main UK autumn Party conferences. Note the other participants - Colin Blakemore, who obligingly helped out Airwave repel health objections during their hour of need, Sir John 'GM' Krebs and Ben 'Bad Science' Goldarce. The Social Market Foundation - is a Blairite pro-market 'think tank', see - https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Social_Market_Foundation

Der Grünen-Vorsitzende Reinhard Bütikofer geht mit juristischen Schritten gegen die arbeitgebernahe Lobby-Organisation "Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft" (INSM) vor. Die Initiative habe ohne seine Zustimmung bei einer Aktion vor dem Brandenburger Tor sowie im Internet mit seinem Bild für ihre Ziele geworben, teilte Bütikofer am Freitag in Berlin mit. Er habe nun "unter Androhung gerichtlicher Schritte" die Zusicherung erwirkt, "es künftig zu unterlassen, fotografische Darstellungen von mir oder meinen Namen ohne meine Zustimmung werblich zu nutzen". Der Grünen-Politiker betonte, er habe diese Organisation noch nie unterstützt und lehne deren "marktradikale Politik" ab.
