Despite entering the Official Singles Chart at No4 - & riding high in the download charts - the BBC decide to censor reggae band Captain Ska's hit single "Liar Liar". The anti-austerity song is "too political" for the State broadcaster, though this doesn't stop them showing the headlines from the right wing media at every possible opportunity, on radio, TV and the internet. So the band, in protest and for the fun of it, performed the song right outside the BBC's front door, with the People's Assembly poster warning of the threat of re-electing Theresa May in the background.

8/5/10 - London, UK. The first 'Take Back Parliament' protest following Britain's general election, in support of a genuinely proportional electoral system.
The protest gathered in Trafalgar Square and made a case for 'fair' votes, after the inconclusive election result. It then wound its way to Smith Square, where Liberal Democrat Party leader Nick Clegg was conducting negotiations with the Conservative Party to seal some form of coalition or parliamentary agreement. The protesters made it clear they expected Clegg to keep PR on the negotiating table.
Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) and supporters rally outside Parliament before marching to Conservative Party headquarters, to raise the profile of disability rights and to challenge MPs to abandon policies harming disabled people since the Tory party were elected in 2010. A brief sit-down protest blocked traffic on a busy Victoria Street while leaflets were handed to members of the public.

Friends in the Green Party
“This weekend I met with members of the Green Left – a grouping within the Green Party.
They were having one of their regular meetings in Birmingham and they had offered to help with some campaigning beforehand. I was grateful for their support - we need all the help we can get!
On a very cold but fresh Saturday morning we all set off distributing leaflets and door knocking in the Springfield ward. The issue we are campaigning around at the moment is the threat to plans to re-open Sparkhill swimming baths, the local community pool.
After a couple of hours of traipsing the streets we reconvened for discussion, chat and some food at Birmingham’s Metropolitan Community Church, which is around the corner from the charming Friends of the Earth Warehouse Café.
Inevitably our discussion focused on how national politics could be levered in a progressive direction.
Someone asked whether a new national left-green coalition could be set up. My answer was that we don’t have to belong to one party to work together. Right now the priority should be turning words of solidarity and co-operation into real localised bottom-up examples.
That is why during the recent European elections I backed the Green European candidate Felicity Norman. Felicity was campaigning openly on a very principled stance of opposition to racism and the BNP and she was the candidate best placed to advance a progressive agenda for the West Midlands. I was proud to support her.
We are developing new ways of working and I have been very encouraged by recent developments in Birmingham Green Party.
They have elected a new committee, staffed with a talented bunch of young, enthusiastic, idealistic and tactically astute members. They don’t just talk about unity, they practice it. It was their initiative to campaign among their members not to stand a candidate in Hall Green constituency in order to enhance my chances of winning. It is the kind of sensible, but very rare, co-operation between people of different parties on the left that makes me optimistic for the future.
By working together in the city, my hope is that we can illustrate in practice how collaborative working can strengthen progressive politics.
All in all it was a very encouraging day. Thanks again to my new friends in the Green Party for making it so.” - Salma Yaqoob

One Ireland - Jobs, Reform, Fairness
Issued : Friday 11 February, 2011
The Irish people have a historic choice before them. Together, on polling day, we can vote to change the direction of our country.
Ireland is a great country, with a great future. It is also a country with grave problems. But nobody, and especially ourselves, should ever doubt what we are capable of. Our abilities are far greater then our problems.

Mr Low Thia Khiang rebutting PAP's bus-driver analogy. He says if the bus driver is about to drive into a ravine, do we get PAP co-drivers to gently tap and ask the driver to wake up or do we need someone to slap the driver?
