We have just heard that The Bell Inn, St George, site of the recent Temporary Autonomous Artspace, was firebombed last night. Fortunately no one staying in the building was hurt but everyone is now leaving for their own safety. The police and Fire Brigade have been carrying out forensic tests at the pub today .

To help with transport etc please go to the pub this evening.

The gathering is designed for those wanting to take action and ideally people should come to both parts. A chance to meet other activists and gather our strength for the fun and games on the streets of Copenhagen in December.

Both sessions will start at 6.00 p.m. with supper at the Kebele Social Centre, Robertson Rd, Easton, BS5 6JY and finish by 9.30.

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

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.

Quote of the week: "I used to shoot people like you,"

Around the country billboards containing Poppy Appeal posters from the Royal British Legion are displaying images of British soldiers in Afghanistan, or their greiving widows and family. While the appeal tried to raise it's annual £30 million, most people think the best way to help the troops is to bring them home and prosecute the politicians who sent them. Below we outline how to modify these billboards yourself to carry the messages 'BRING 'EM HOME' and 'PROSECUTE BLAIR'
