As I'm sat at home now trying to put a few words together to express how i feel about the whole thing and to be honest the only thing i can come up with is devastated. This year would have been my first BGG and a great opportunity to learn and share ideas with others. My reasons for going to the BGG wasn't to cause disruption but rather to be informed and to take part in something both meaningful and necessary. read full story / add a comment

THE BIG ISSUE EXHIBITION

The photos that you see here are the culmination of a months work by the staff and vendors at The Big Issue. For some of our vendors it was the first time that methods of photographic self-representation had been used. The final work is expressive of both the pain and humour that goes with life on the street.

There is now a full scale crisis over the occupation of Afghanistan.

As the death toll mounts the military top brass have no coherent strategy and the politicians can give no sensible explanation as to why the troops are in Afghanistan.

The idea that bombing and strafing Afghan towns and villages will reduce the threat of terrorism is simply untenable. And despite the intensive media spin, opinion polls continue to show majority opposition to the war in Britain, with 56% in The Guardian/BBC poll and 59% in the ITV poll.

The emphasis on the number of helicopters available to the British forces is a smokescreen. As Seumas Milne says in the Guardian today 'British soldiers aren't dying in Afghanistan because they haven't got enough helicopters, but because they're an occupying force in another country where they're not wanted.'

For all these reasons we ask you if you can host the Internet sites of the IMC of Athens and Patras on your server. We must preserve them, especially when they are closed or are near to be closed, and to react against censorship and promote freedom of information.
