Protestors lined a busy Stroud High Street on Saturday morning to protest against the renewed violence in Gaza.
The rally was organised at short notice on Thursday evening as a direct response to the breaking of the ceasefire and Israel’s bombing of Gaza. It was organised by the Stroud Ceasefire Now Coalition, a group that has held vigils every Friday evening in Stroud since late 2023.
Theresa Mansbridge introduced the first speaker, Michelle from Stroud Against Racism, before Meg and Teddy from RYSE (Radical Youth Space for Educations) performed a song.
Jeremy Green from Stroud Constituency Labour Party read a statement from Stroud MP Dr Simon Opher: “Can I start by saying that I’m really sorry that I cannot be with you all in person today. But thank you for asking me to be part of this demonstration of peace, humanity, and solidarity with the Palestinian people.
“We had all hoped that the ceasefire would hold and provide some relief for the people of Gaza. Instead, we witnessed Israel’s blatant disregard for the terms of the ceasefire with their killing of some 400 Palestinians and injuring of over 500 – an appalling escalation.
“Those who are responsible for Israel’s war crimes must be held to account. The time for government action is now. It is unacceptable that British-made weapons continue to be exported and used by the Israeli government in Gaza. I am continuing to push the Government to implement a full ban on arms transfers to Israel, not just the current 30.
“We can and we must go further. It’s why I am calling on the Government to impose travel bans and assets freezes against all individuals with involvement in maintaining the illegal occupation, to ban imports from illegal Israeli settlements and to tear up the 2030 roadmap which seeks to deepen ties with the Israeli government.
“I want to thank the hundreds of constituents who have gotten in touch with me. It is a powerful reminder that the people of Stroud will always stand on the side of peace, justice and human rights.”
Other speakers were Colin Levine from Na’amod and Robin Layfield representing Stroud District Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
The Stroud Ceasefire Now Coalition consists of: Stroud Friends of Palestine; Stroud Against Racism; Parents for Future Stroud; The RYSE; Stroud Quakers; Nailsworth Quakers; Stroud Red Band; Stroud District Palestine Solidarity Campaign; Stroud District Together With Refugees and Community Solidarity Stroud District.
I Instagram-reported for work today! (Seriously. Things have changed from newspaper days.) So even though I had an actual camera in my bag, I ended up focusing on phone photos this time. This was around the start of a small rally for WikiLeaks' Julian Assange, held in New York City today. Photo taken at the UN Plaza.

These people were protesting Turkey's treatment of Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned leader of the Kurdish Workers Party and their treatment of Kurds in general. Among the things they were chanting were, "Terrorist Turkey!", "Freedom for Öcalan! Peace in Kurdistan!"

This is the moment that Fox will lie about. Rioters breaking windows, doors and gaining access to a closed capitol.
I arrived at the capitol at about 6:50pm. You could hear the protesters 2 blocks away yelling "Shame" and "Let us in!" I make my way up to the King St entrance and I'm there all of about 2 minutes when it falls silent instantly. Everybody is listening intently to something and it's soon made known that some republicans are trying to leave the building, so people start going to many different exits to block them and I head over to the main MLK street entrance that I believe is the governors office, but I could be wrong on that, along with a huge flow of other people. There's a stream of people milling around and chanting so I make my way up the steps to the second floor entrance where there's a large crowd shouting "Shame!" I push closer and closer and there's a wall of police blocking the doors. We keep thinking they're about to escort someone out, but it never happens. Finally some police form a single file line and march out, but the doors are still locked with police on the inside looking out.
Meanwhile, I've pushed up to about 2 people behind the doors when all of a sudden, a window to the left of me beside the doors opens up and there's a woman waving people to come in quickly. The window leads into a bathroom. People look around in amazement and wonder what this is all about. The woman again motions for people to get in here. So the most amazing thing happens. A bunch of people press up against the main doors and use their signs to block the view of the open window that people are now filing into. I start firing off pictures, which is what you see above. About 10 seconds pass and I'm wondering if I have a chance of getting in. All sorts of complications are running through my head. A: it's been made illegal as of last week to enter after 6. B: is it a trick? C: The cops have gotta see this and are probably right inside there where I can't see. D: But what is inside? This is the start! GO!
I decide I might not have another chance. I hop through. No sooner than I make it to the door of the bathroom that I am met with police. Oh crap is all I can think. However, it immediately reminds me of a college beer party bust. They weren't even looking at me. They were trying desperately to push past me to get to the window while I was trying to push past them to get in through the door. In the moment of confusion I realized I wasn't going to be in any danger since it was clear all they wanted was to shut the window and stop the flow of people coming in. So I just flattened against the door frame to let the 3 get past me and then I proceeded to get into the hallway.
I can a lot of cheering inside and it turns out there were a couple hundred inside still from before the capitol closed for the night that hadn't left. And this, of course, is when it got interesting. A couple more times huge roars would erupt as a dozen or so people come running in from different hallways. There must be more sneaking in. After about 10 minutes chants of "Let Them In!" began. After only a minute or so, it fell silent and a handful of people ran to the west exit. Another moment of silence followed by huge eruptions of cheering as what seemed like hundreds after hundreds came flowing in from all directions. They gave up and opened the doors!

Zum siebten Mal findet der CareSlam in Berlin Friedrichshain statt.
Im Kulturhaus Alte Feuerwache werben acht Teilnehmer für eine bessere Pflege mit menschlichen Bedingungen sowohl für die Patienten, als auch für die Pflegenden.
Dieser CareSlam steht unter dem Eindruck des Internationalen Tages der Pflege der jährlich am Geburtstag von Florence Nightingale stattfindet. Dieses Jahr haben mehrere Initiativen einen bundesweiten Aktionstag in Berlin stattfinden lassen, um auf die dramatische Lage der Pflegelandschaft in Deutschland aufmerksam zu machen.
Als Abschluss des Aktionstages öffnet der CareSlam seine Bühne. Unter den Zuschauern ist auch Elisabeth Scharfenberg, MdB (Bündnis90/Die Grünen).
Die Initiatorin der an den Poetry Slam angelehnten Veranstaltungsreihe, Yvonne Falckner, führt durch den Abend. Als das böse, profitorientierte Gesicht der Pflege malträtiert sie die Auftretenden, wiegelt ab, beschönigt und schreddert eine Gefährdungsanzeige nach der anderen, die wieder und wieder auf der Bühne landen.
Der CareSlam beginnt mit einem Grußwort des Schirmherrn der Veranstaltung, Prof. Dr. Michael Bossle mit seiner Forderung "Hängt endlich die Uhren ab!". Dieses wird von Yvonne Falckner vorgetragen. Diesem folgt ein Slam von Yvonne Falckner, mit dem sie fordert, Resonanzräume zu schaffen.
Als nächstes kommt Dagmar Stegler, examinierte Krankenschwester, auf die Bühne. Berührend slammt sie über das Leben als Leasingschwester, von den Vorteilen, aber auch von Mobbing und Ausgrenzung.
Ihr folgt die Studentin der dualen Pflege Lena Herbrandt mit ihrem Slam "Braucht Ihr uns nicht?". Die erste Hälfte des CareSlams beschließt vor der Pause Cornelia Maria Zinke, examinierte Altenpflegerin und Pflegepädagogin mit ihrem Slam "Im Niemandsland des Theorie-Praxis-Transfers". Sie beschreibt die Widersprüchlichkeiten der Ausbildung und der Wissensvermittlung, aber auch die Ausbeutung und Überforderung von Auszubildenden.
Yvonne Falckner beginnt den zweiten Teil des CareSlams mit einer Einführung in chinesische Übungen, stets zu Lächeln, bevor Roger Konrad mit seinem Slam "Wir wollen nur pflegen oder worum geht's hier eigentlich?" übernimmt. Roger Konrad ist eaxaminierter Krankenpfleger und im Vorstand des Vereins "Pflege in Bewegung", sowie einer der Mitorganisatoren der "Bundesweiten Gefährdungsanzeige".
Zusammen mit Yvonne Falckner folgt Marcus Jogerst-Ratzka, examinierter Krankenpfleger und Pflegeunternehmer. Kafkaesk stellen sie im Slam "Prozess" den Widerspruch zwischen gesetzlichen Vorgaben und den Bedingen inder Pflegerealität dar.
Während Bühne und Publikum noch in den emotionalen Nachwirkungen des "Prozess" gefangen ist, betritt Florence Nightingale die Bühne. Es ist ja ihr Geburtstag. Eva Maria Endruweit, examinierte Krankenschwester und Lehrerin für Pflegeberufe, slammt als Nightingale eine zeitgemäße Version dessen was die Begründerin der modernen Pflege gesagt hat und vielleicht gesagt hätte - angesichts der Zustände der Pflege und der Welt.
Nun versammeln sich alle Slammer auf der Bühne, um im Chor den Text über die "heiligen Johannen der Pisstöpfe" zu verlesen.
Zum Abschluss des CareSlams slammt Dr. Markus Mai, Präsident der Pflegekammer Rheinland-Pfalz unter dem Titel "Wir stehen dafür!?" und fordert die Pflegenden auf, für ihre Interessen und Rechte einzustehen.

2012/04/20- Cairo- Egypt- Liberal and Islamist protesters converge in Tahrir Square. Various demands from liberal April 6 movement, the National Association for Change, Salafist Abu Ismail and Muslim Brotherhood were made; One of the demands was the retreat on 30 June of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) from the political scene and the importance of drafting a representative constitution. Another popular demand from the different podiums addressed getting rid of former regime figures in the presidential election. ( Armed Shafiq and Ex-Arab League chief, Amr Moussa.).
Children can't vote yet, but we are voting to spend the taxpayer money they have yet to earn. People don't like it and are assembling at teaparties throughout the nation, hoping to speak out before it is too late.
Elaborate chancel rebuilt in 1847 by architect Richard Carpenter for rector Thomas Thorp, Archdeacon of Bristol whose effigy lies under the arch (although he is buried in the churchyard) , The rebuilding of the medieval church was highly controversial particularly as Rev Thorp supported the Oxford Movement and established a high-church tradition at Kemerton which is reflected in the furnishings he installed which included the painted reredos and canopy of honour over the altar. Services of choral Evensong and frequent Communions with surpliced choir followed.
In the east window by Thomas Willement, is St Stephen and on the left is St Alban, both Christian martyrs . After the rebuilding the dedication of the church was changed to St Alban, but this was opposed by the parishioners and after a lot of protests it was changed back to St Nicholas. - Church of St Nicholas Kemerton Worcestershire

One of a range of stickers that have appeared all over the Old Cattle Market bus station. Now I'm going to have to pay someone to remove them...
Not exactly sure what these guys are protesting about; there seems to be a number of issues in the mix, some local, some of wider applicability. I suspect there's a fair sweep of libertarianism in their approach, which I'm generally against, but they appear to despise Klaus Schwab and the WEF and that's cool with me. They at least have a right to have their voice heard.
