Your local job centre, the city, parliament... you decide! from 7 -15 March

Around 300 people traveled from around the country (and some from around the world!) to gather by the Bank of England, the only bank in the world to give HLS banking facilities at the behest of the Government for a loud and vibrant demonstration against the financial supporters of HLS in the centre of London.

The march aimed to publicly show the financial investors, or even prospective investors, that we won’t tolerate puppies being thrown around, monkeys being cut open alive and other innocent animals suffering in silence. Of our anger, passion, focus and determination to carry on the fight despite repressive laws and long jail sentences that some SHAC campaigners have received.

The march started off in front of the Bank of England with 20 or so journalists and photographers who followed the protest march around a circular route of 2 miles around the city's financial district.

The occupation of the London College for Communication has ended tonight, after the students reaseived a letter by the University, accepting most of the demands. During the day the students had dropped a banner from a tree in front of the main entrance opposite the shopping centre.

Come and celebrate Friday, Feb 25th, 2:15pm outside LCC.

In the wake of recent successwul demands to Universities, UAL students have asked their University to meet similar demands. Following a positive meeting with Rob Imeson, dean of students, alongside two equality and diversity officers on 11th of Feburary, the response received on February 18th reads very ambiguous, vague and inconsistent. After an event on Monday, 23rd, speakers Organised by the UAL Palestine Solidarity Network and the UAL Stop the War Society including Tony Bann and Mark Howell, students of the College of Communication occupied the Podium lecture theatre until their demands have been met by the University.

On the afternoon of Wednesday the 18th of February over 50 students of the University of East London occupied a lecture theatre in protest over Israel's blockade of Gaza and the recent atrocities inflicted upon the people of Palestine.  We have remained in occupation for over four days now.

Please note that professor finkelstein will be speaking at two different venues on the same day. 

Norman Finkelstein explores the corruption and bias of scholarship surrounding the Palestine-Israel conflict. The talk will examine the growing tendency of pro-Israel commentators to use spurious charges of anti-Semitism to deflect and discredit legitimate criticism of Israel. With historical depth and intellectual integrity, Finkelstein rejects the view that the Israel-Palestine conflict is impossibly complex as a mystification, insists that the Palestinians were ethnically cleansed in 1948, and exposes Israel's damning human rights record.

Photos from tonights picket of Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall in protest of the grand reception for the Israeli Ambassador.

On Monday 9th February the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea are holding a lavish reception for diplomats at Kensington Town Hall - their special guest for the night will be the Israeli Ambassador.

Palestine Solidarity Campaign, along with Stop the War Coalition and British Muslim Initiative are asking all London and South East supporters to come to the town hall and show your disgust at the invitation.

Last weekend, the Global Women's Strike and the International Women Count Network launched a two-week-long international gathering focused on grassroots organizing against systemic violence. Dozens of organizers from five continents have gathered at the Crossroads Women's Centre in London and are convening a series of public sessions at the Venezuelan Embassy. Among the participants is Esther Morales Aymá, the sister of Bolivian President Eva Morales, pictured. Two sessions have been held so far, and two additional sessions will be held this coming weekend on the valuing of caring labor, and on the grassroots socialism of Tanzania’s ujamaa village movement. A full list of speakers and locations is available here. Additionally, on Thursday participants in the Strike gathering will speak on a panel on climate change organized by the London Neighbourhood of the Climate Camp movement.

Video footage of protest and street battles with riot police

Thousands marched against the massacre and then confronted riot police to defend our right to protest on our own streets and against the presence of this outpost of a vile baby killing machine.

Today's demonstration to the Israeli Embassy in central London was massive. Estimates talk about 100,000 people taking part. A call for an anarchist / anti-authoritarian presence at the demo was made earlier in the week, which has materialised today with a clearly visible block. Here there are some pics of it.

The protest in solidarity with the Greek uprising on Thursday, December 11, that had been called for in a posting on Indymedia UK, was well attended - by police. Hardly a protester was to be seen. The first police van was placed right outside Holland Park Station, and in front of the Greek Embassy there were more police cars of both the Met and diplomatic police and fencing had been set up, with what seemed to be one of London's infamous protest pens on the sidewalk opposite the Greek Embassy.
