We are honoured to announce the visit of trade union leader and, survivor of the Pando Massacre: Cristian DominguezDomínguez., National Secretary of Environment and Resources, CSUTCB (Confederación Sindical Unica de Trabajadores Campesinos de Bolivia) United Confederation of Bolivian Campesino Workers Since Evo Morales historic victory gainingwith 67% of the vote in the recall referendum, the landholding, wood-manufacturing, drug-trafficking and racist oligarchy, which is entrenched in the east of the country, swore to stop by any means the irreversible advance of the “Process of Change” by any means. This oligarchy have links with multinational companies who share their interest in cheap land for bio-fuel and cheap natural resources. The new constitution, which was written by an elected assembly, had included the prohibition to use GM seeds, and put a limit on land holding at 5000 hectares. This triggered a vicious attack at the beginning of September 2008, when the oligarchy started a Civil Coup against democracy, with the assault and destruction of state institutions and social organizations. It culminated on September 11th with the massacre inof Porvenir (Pando). Cristian Dominguez was part of the contingent that was ambushed and many men, women and children were murdered. The events in Bolivia are linked to the insatiable search for fuel to the point of converting food into fuel. Cristian’s community are at the forefront of these struggle to keep at bay the multinational companies that yearn their land at bay. read full story / add a comment

parish council man brian cannell of walton in gordano tells dyslexic learning disibility campainer to write better and use better grammar full story below Andrew, You may get more support from your email if you format it with some correct spelling and grammar. There are wonderful little things called capital letters (used for the first person 'I' and the first letter of proper names, as well as at the start of sentences and abbreviations). Also you will find comma's, apostrophes and full stops are there to ensure a series of words makes sense to the reader. Colons and semi colons are also available to keep everything in order. All these funny little signs are freely available and just waiting to be used on both computer keyboards and mobile phones. Using them will go a long way to making the message meaningful and intelligent. Not using them does not do the writer any favours at all. regards -- Brian Cannell brian@brcannell.co.uk As your original email was sent to my private address without any request from myself, this can be construed as unsolicited mail. I sympathise with your now declared dyslexia and a learning disability, if you had mentioned it in the first email (no real reason why you should though), I probably wouldn't have bothered replying at all and just deleted the mail as junk. If you cannot take constructive criticism then that is your issue, not mine. There is no need to use abusive language. Please do not threaten me, it will get you nowhere. This email correspondence it at an end. Goodbye. -- Brian Cannell read full story / add a comment

The weather has turned in the last few days - by day the winds are chilling and by night the first frosts creep in. In Calais, since the camps nicknamed the 'Jungle' have been destroyed, large numbers of those waiting to seek asylum in the UK are being forced to sleep on the streets, without shelter or blankets. Finding this far beyond the realms of reason, groups from Bristol are gathering blankets, warm clothes and other essentials to respond to this urgent humanitarian crisis. HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, CLOSE TO HOME? Children as young as ten are sleeping under bridges. If found taking shelter or sleeping out, peoples' few possessions are removed, their blankets sprayed with chemicals and their temporary refuges destroyed or evicted. These are people from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Eritrea and other zones of conflict, whose situation the UK and other western governments have been instrumental in worsening. French immigration policy, voiced by minister Eric Besson, has chosen however to ignore its complicity in these broader issues, calling (like the UK Border Agency) for stricter border controls and the use of state power to break up any signs of their existence. BLANKET APPEAL, YOU CAN HELP! We don't think that this is acceptable. Thousands of people attempting to move across Europe to seek asylum or a new life are stranded as a result. The associations and charities of Calais cannot cope with such a humanitarian catastrophe, and as an act of solidarity we would like to collectively respond by transporting aid there from Bristol. If you would like to join us in expressing your indignation or support, please help us collect for the two 'convoys' which will leave Bristol on November the 6th and November the 26th. read full story / add a comment

Bristol Council is considering a planning application from W4B to build a power station in Avonmouth that will burn approx 90,000 tonnes of virgin vegetable oil per year, including palm oil. Several hundred objections have already been submitted. At the public meetings, speakers will explain why burning biofuels is bad for the climate, bad for biodiversity and bad for people in the global South. We need more local people to actively campaign and persuade councillors to refuse permission for this development. read full story / add a comment
