The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

Athens 25/04/06
Thousands of people marched the streets of Athens today protesting Condoleezza Rice's visit to Athens. Several left wing parties as well as a big number of anarchist demonstrators declared that the American secretary of state is not welcome in Greece or any other place in the world for that matter. The Greek government in full cooperation with their honourable ally decided not to allow the protesters to march to the United States' embassy. The left-wing protesters demanded that they'd be allowed to march wherever they pleased and when the police rejected their demand they started charging the police lines using flag poles. The police responded using tremendous amounts of teargas, the crowd started to fold back and the anarchist block took their place. Immediately the clashes became bigger and more violent, dozens of molotov cocktails, as well as, stones, bricks, and crowbars were used to fight off the police. Banks, large department stores and government cars were either torched or destroyed... Some arrests took place with that of 17year old carrying a molotov cocktail being the most serious one.
back in 1999 clinton came in athens...i can assure you that the whole city center took fire, there was a huge demonstration that resulted in a war zone...after that, not an america top politician visited greece.
you can't imagine the atmosphere in such cases...
unfortunately, 3 years after iraq's occupation the anti war movement has fallen significantly all over the world, that's why this f** crow, rais, took the chance to visit athens.
Well done lads

Welcome scenes
Do the IAWM support such violent tactics? In the past they have even criticised the damaging of fences at Shannon and they disscociated themselves from the disarming of US jets.
Let us not waste time in arguing about vacuus items. Supporting resistance against the Empire's foreign policy and warmongering is a fundamental bottom line of the anti-war struggle. Here in Ireland, in Britain and mostly everywhere else I know. Whether that resistance takes place in occupied Iraq, Afghanistan or Palestine or whether it is closer home, in whatever form it takes...it has to be understood, put into context and supported. The demonstration in Athens, both in its legalistic and peaceful component (see parties of the Left, Greek ESF etc) or the hooded contingent of the anarchist Left has to be understood and supported.
Which does not, of course, mean that everything Al Zarqaui or Bin Laden or the Sunni LF or Hamas or the Fath Jihad do ....we collectively applaud.....take an example Hamas' condemnation of the recent bombing in Egypt.
Closer home, the iawm will support the defendents of both the Shannon hammer et al incident and the more recent Baldonnel arrests. Whether those militants are 'Thatcher's children' or indeed Kropotkin's or Proudhon's grandchildren is irrelevant. That terrible beauty is only in the eyes of the beholders.
Now, what happened in the past happened and cannot be undone....responsibility for whatever happened lies with the authors (and victims? - lol) of those events. And I am sure they have sturdy shoulders and will carry that responsibility....
So curious, and your friend guy has passed away in the other thread, let us talk about the future of the anti war movement. Let us co-ordinate our views and actions...you seem to have long memories - that's great. It will help all of us plan our tomorrows.
Don't know, but it does help to have the "appearance" of being radical, no?

There is a gathering movement in the States which is becoming to realise that the support of Israel is costing too much. Now, if Israel falls, Greece and Europe with a forty years falling birth rate will be on a hiding to nothing. One thing is certain, is that the Capitalist world will abandon Europe. Will today’s Anarchist have the stomach for the new battle when they have to answer for the sins of their fathers (i.e. a colonial Europe that terroist the world)? Look up the related link.
