Bailey's Teashop, 49 Bridge Street, Ramsbottom, Bury BL0 9AD
Ben Stephenson, Controller of BBC Drama Commissioning, says: "Exile is a unique opportunity for the BBC to work with the brilliant Paul Abbott again. This intimate portrayal of a father and son's relationship played by John Simm and Jim Broadbent has been beautifully written by Danny Brocklehurst – a moving and shocking script that will be a real treat for BBC One viewers."

Washington DC, November 6, 2014. Social justice activists affiliated with Creative Resistance, freepress, DemandProgress, Fight For The Future and other groups rallied in front of the White House this evening in support of net neutrality and against the latest plans by the FCC to sneak in* 'pay for play' fast lanes for content providers and consumers, stranding those who can't pay in slow lanes. Over four million people have spoken out against this odious proposal. Even our Disappointer In Chief Barack Obama has gone on the record in favor of continued net neutrality. The style of the action this evening was inspired by a recent rally in Budapest Hungary, where thousands gathered with shimmering digital devices held aloft in protest of proposed additional charges for data access.The powers that be in Hungary backed down.
*FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, a former telecom lobbyist, has refused to allow open public hearings on the proposed changes. The details of the latest FCC so-called Net Neutrality plan were leaked, not released.

Washington DC, May 15, 2014. Social justice activists rally in front of the FCC to oppose proposed net neutrality rule changes that would essentially end the free and open internet which has worked miraculously well for almost twenty years now. Shortly after noon the FCC voted in favor of considering the odious changes allowing 'pay for play' fast lanes in the internet (and the implied threat of slower speed diminished service for those who don't pony up...), subject to "public comment" which you know will be a sham exercise leading to an already determined conclusion in favor of the big telecoms. This plan was so evil even Amazon and Microsoft signed off on a letter to the FCC opposing it (Apple was missing in action...) but I'm sure it was not for altruistic reasons. Hopefully 'cable' and TV sets will soon be a thing of the past. This photograph shows Craig Aaron of Free Press on the mic.

ROMA, 05.02.2013 – Questa mattina almeno 100 mila romani hanno fatto fatica a credere ai loro occhi. Nelle principali stazioni ferroviarie e della metropolitana Greenpeace ha distribuito un facsimile del quotidiano “Metro”, quasi identico all’originale, con notizie a dir poco sorprendenti.
I leader politici impegnati nella campagna elettorale che cambiano radicalmente strategia, puntando sulla green economy e promettendo una vera rivoluzione energetica; gli Usa di Obama che raccolgono la sfida dei cambiamenti climatici, la Cina che abbandona le fonti fossili; e, ancora, i cittadini e gli amministratori siciliani in rivolta contro le trivelle petrolifere al largo delle loro coste, l’istituzione di un Tribunale Internazionale per l’Ambiente, un mega parco eolico inaugurato davanti alle coste di Taranto.

En estas jornadas participaron, entre otros, Luis Hernández Navarro (director de Opinión del diario mexicano ‘La Jornada’), Roland Denis (ex viceministro venezolano de Planificación entre 2002 y 2003), Imán Ahmed Jamás (periodista y escritora iraquí) y, la también periodista, Teresa Aranguren.
Además de la parte gráfica y web, la serie de charlas y mesas redondas fueron también organizadas por nuestra cooperativa, junto al colectivo editor de Diagonal y el departamento de Sociología III de la Fac. de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología de la
Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), entre otras entidades.

.... William Lyon Mackenzie (March 12, 1795 - August 28, 1861) was a Scottish-born Canadian journalist and politician. His strong views on political equality and clean government drove him to outright rebellion in 1837 after a career as mayor of Toronto and in the colonial legislative assembly of Upper Canada (Ontario). Mackenzie immigrated to Canada in 1820, he settled in York, Upper Canada, what is now called Toronto, Ontario. It is here he worked as a journalist, whose political ideas brought conflicting notoriety to him. This short stature, out spoken, opinionated, fiery tempered man, got his political ideas across through his publications. In May 1824 William Lyon Mackenzie published the first edition of 'The Colonial Advocate'. Politics was his passion and Mackenzie, who fervently believed in an "unfettered press," used the Colonial Advocate to denounce the leading denizens of society and to urge his readers to press for a more representative form of government. Always a crusader for democracy over autocracy, Mackenzie championed the cause of the common man and woman and the struggle of the many against the few. Mackenzie believed in a democratic government that was elected and responsible to the people they represent.
Mackenzie's written outspoken attacks on the ruling class brought retaliation against him. There were libel suits, threats and physical attacks. In 1826 opponents destroyed his printing press and threw the type into Lake Ontario.
In 1834 William Lyon Mackenzie was elected Toronto's first Mayor. In 1837, Mackenzie organized his followers to march against the tyrannical Toronto oligarchy and overthrow the government, known as the Rebellion of 1837. His objective was to free aggrieved farmers from the yoke of autocratic rule, but the mismanaged marchers were unsuccessful and Mackenzie was forced to flee to the United States. Although he failed in his attempt to start a revolution in the colony, the results stunned the British Government who were finally moved to action and dispatched a representative to Canada to look into all of the issues.
Mackenzie spent 10 years in exile in the United States and only returned to Canada in 1849 when he was granted a pardon. He quickly resumed his political career, but by this time reform had been initiated and government had become responsible and much more representative. He finally retired in 1857 and resigned his seat in 1858 because of ill health. Mackenzie saw many of the goals he had worked for either achieved or within reach of being achieved. After his death in 1861, he became a symbol to the cause of Canadian political liberty & democracy ....

Little Anne Coulter has a new book out. There are two chapters on the French Revolution that are interesting for their total lack of understanding for the why's of the period. At one point she likens treatment of Sarah Palen in the press to Marie Antoinette at the hands of the phamphleteers, say wha!
Se trata del número 22 de la colección Cuadernos de Educación No Sexista que edita el Instituto de la Mujer. Es un material didáctico para el profesorado con una doble finalidad: despertar el sentido crítico a la hora de ver cine y, por otro lado, dar a conocer el papel prácticamente desconocido de las mujeres en este mundo. Cuenta, además, con un CD con varias fichas de películas recomendadas y otros recursos complementarios al libro, escrito por Andrea García e ilustrado por Isabel Vázquez.

Outside NBC-Concast HQ - Text of Chris Hedges' speech below.
"The detention and persecution of Julian Assange eviscerates all pretense of the rule of law and the rights of a free press. The illegalities, embraced by the Ecuadorian, British, Swedish and U.S. governments are ominous. They presage a world where the internal workings, abuses, corruption, lies and crimes, especially war crimes, carried out by corporate states and the global ruling elite, will be masked from the public. chrishedges.substack.com/p/this-i-talk-i-gave-in-new-york...
