KOMIC KOMMUNIQUE FOR APRIL FOOLS DaY

Did you know the British government is trying to ban 'democracy'?

The idea that Parliament - from the French, parler, meaning to speak - should be a place where people can express their political views has been turned upside down by The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act (SOCPA) s132 which bans demonstrations and free speech around Parliament.

Download Song Commemorating Rachel Corrie

British folk singer Billy Bragg has released a FREE mp3 song dedicated to American hero/peace activist, Rachel Corrie... here's what Bragg said about his song: "Rachel Corrie went to Gaza to draw attention to the plight of the Palestinians, whose voice is seldom heard in her country, the US.

Yet More Pictures on the static "March for Free Expression"
