I was looking back over my recent Twitter timeline and found a reference to a Freedom of Information request. I copied the pdf link but for the life of me I can’t remember who posted it so apologies to them for “stealing your thunder…” In a nutshell the matter refers to the Metropolitan Police and items confiscated from people attending

WITH the Occupy Wall Street movement showing no signs of slowing ~ if anything the the world is waking up and listening ~ the protest is about to go global… And with that groundswell of support comes the arrival of the mainstream media and the casting of its fickle spotlight on the brave band of protesters who are shining a

SO was the stock market trader Alessio Rastani who appeared on the BBC claiming Goldman Sachs ruled the world really a cruel hoax..? To be honest I don’t really care if he was one of the famous Yes Men (great movie btw) ~ what this guy actually said is sadly all too true, particularly when you look at Obama’s Whitehouse…

BRUTALITY against peaceful protesters demonstrating in a public square usually garners sound bites of condemnation from leaders of free democracies. The deafening silence at the brutal atrocities carried out by many of New York’s finest speaks volumes… A seemingly out of control police force waded into Wall Street this weekend, bludgeoning, spraying mace into the eyes of defenceless young women

SCREWED ~ “we are all totally screwed” I think is the phrase the experts are desperately trying not to use as they pop up on our TVs and in our newspapers… As our financiers, politicians and experts “stare down the barrel” of economic collapse, no one it seems has any idea what to do. Except perhaps the founders of the

TROY DAVIS was murdered last night by lethal injection. He became just another blood soaked statistic on the long long list of American prisoners killed by a justice system that shows no sign of giving up its barbaric blood lust… A campaign calling for his case to be reinvestigated drew support from celebrities, former president Jimmy Carter, a senior FBI

AUSTERITY seems to be flying over the heads of the art world judging by the latest loony toons style “art-work” that has cost a staggering half a million quid. But the so called “Nowhere Island” is just the tip of the iceberg of an even more bonkers “arty wing” of the Cultural Olympiad… But first to the symbolic pile of

I CAN remember covering a planning story for my local newspaper where the owners of a luxury house in the green belt were “ordered” to remove garden gnomes from their garden… Apparently it offended the locals and made the pretty little village look tacky. I lambasted the idiocy of the planning laws and indeed wrote a tongue in cheek piece

AS the world enters into one of the most disastrous recessions since records began the British Government has come up with a dastardly plan to stop the hungry from rioting, begging and stealing… Nope this is not a review of some newly found Dickensian novel ~ this is what is happening in the UK in 2011. As of today: Timeline:

HARD on the heels of the NOTW phone tapping scandal ~ known on Twitter as #hackgate, there comes the tale of a left wing media “icon” who now admits to the worst of all writing sins ~ plagiarism… Unbelievably Johann Hari (award winning) journalist of the Independent newspaper, hasn’t been sacked… Rather his editor has agreed to let him travel

I’VE often wondered why a lot of people I talk to about my thoughts on 9-11 being some kind of inside job at worse or a cover-up, react in the way they do. Most snort and call me an idiot, others shrug and push it to one side as if it’s just another of Neil’s mad ideas, whilst an alarming

ONE thing that gets me angrier than anything else about the awful and tragic loss of life on 9-11 is the persistent suggestion that those of us seeking the truth about what happened that fateful day are disrespecting the victims and their families. In my case this could not be further from the truth. I did not lose anyone that

Looking at The Theories Around 9/11 Over Three Parts The Guardian newspaper – a daily tome I quite enjoy – recently published an article in which it claims to debunk the conspiracy theories surrounding that dreadful day on 9-11. It was I guess a genuine attempt to put so called conspiracy theorists in their place and prove to their loyal

IT was all so easy as a teenager – most causes had a cool badge (most important at the time) and it was pretty obvious as to what an idealistic young man should follow. CND – Anti-Apartheid – Anti Thatcher – The Miners Strike – I could go on but I think you get my drift. I was a lefty
