Public Meeting. Brighton. We are all Terror Suspects.

As a result of “Terror” legislation, the age old right to peacefully protest is under serious threat, with the banning of protest being introduced in central London and laws designed to protect people from stalkers being used to imprison people involved in protest as well as I.D cards, tagging, torture, imprisonment without trial…

Speakers from CAMPACC, Haldane Society Of Socialist Lawyers, Statewatch and Smash Edo (a Brighton based campaign to close down Edo/Mbm arms dealers) will discuss these and other subjects.

This meeting is free and open to all.
Wed 14th September 7-9pm
@Sussex arts club, 7 Ship Street. Brighton

Called by Campaign Against Criminalizing Communities (CAMPACC). Smash Edo. Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers and Stateswatch.

Heathrow's Gate Gourmet no stranger to industrial dispute.

As the blame for the Heathrow snarl up gets laid on the shoulders of so called wild-cat strikers it's worth taking a look at the record of Gate Gourmet, the airline catering business whose loudspeaker sackings started the whole thing.
