I went to Anfield (Liverpool fc) last night to watch an awful match, and observe an impeccable one minute silence for the quake victims.
Somethin we're told that anfield always ovbserve exceptionally well...

That's a nice touch, i think Chelsea also did something similar.
I've just spent most of the afternoon walking into banks in Bristol trying to give money to the Japanese Tsunami appeal,no one wanted my money WTF !!!! I eventually made a payment at NatWest to the Red Cross,really shocking after a week!,DEFRA seriously need to sort this out pronto ! Don't remember this being the case for the 2004 Tsunami.
I think you can make online donations to the Red Cross,not sure if i'm allowed to post the in Tokyo are playing benefit gigs this weekend,although with the power cuts out there i have no idea if they'll manage to ? But good luck to 'em !

Surely the Japanese guy that has just won the Bondi Beach surfing international, on a kitchen table, can give his prize money to the relief fund?

Well John perhaps you could put your hand in your pocket instead of making offensive comments,hope you're not one of the pond life thats been making sick jokes about this on Facebook and the like.
I spent three years living out in Japan,i've spent the weekend trying to get in contact with friends,majority of which are in Tokyo so out of danger of the tsunami
at least,aftershocks are still being felt,radioactivity has now been spread by wind to
Chiba just outside Tokyo,150 miles south of the Fukashima reactor,just terrible !

Just got an email from 38 Degrees, looks like we'll be seeing Mr Osborne's tax avoidance in the newspapers on the 4th Jan, 38 Degrees have bought ad's in lots of national newspapers, with posters on bus shelters and billboards coming to constituencies of cabinet ministers during local elections lol Nice one !
QUOTE;We've just bought the artful dodger tax ads. On 4 January (the day VAT goes up) our adverts will be splashed across the pages of the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the Independent, the i, the Guardian and The Times.
It's brilliant what we can do when we work together. Thousands of us voted to choose tax dodging as a priority campaign. Then hundreds of us helped come up with the idea of the "artful dodger" ad. And then thousands of us donated whatever we could afford to get the ads in the papers. Between us, we raised over £20,000 in one week!
We're starting to get tax dodging on the public's radar. More and more people are starting to talk about it - this week even the Daily Mail ran a story revealing Boots the chemist was dodging tax. Thanks to our ads, tax dodging will be part of the story on the day VAT goes up.
George Osborne would rather not talk about tax dodging. Slowly but surely, we're making it impossible for him to keep ducking the issue.
In the New Year, we will need to get more of our tax dodger adverts up on bus stops and billboards around the country - particularly in areas where the politicians would rather voters didn't see them.
Imagine the effect when tax dodger adverts start appearing in the constituencies of Cabinet Ministers! Or in areas where the political parties are fighting hard to win votes in the Scottish, Welsh and local elections next May. We'll need to raise at least another £10,000 in the New Year to get the ads up on bus stops and billboards.
It's been a great year for 38 Degrees - together we are proving that people power can work. By pooling our efforts, we've held politicians and big business to account.
We have had some real successes - pushing tax dodging up the agenda, getting the new government to pledge a ban on secret lobbying by big business, sounding the alarm about the sell-off of our forests, saving BBC 6 music, stopping money being wasted on new nuclear weapons, and pushing Vince Cable to stand up to Rupert Murdoch. These are just a few of the things we've done together!
But it's also been a year with its disappointments and its worries. We've seen yet more politicians break yet more promises. We've seen really tough news on the economy, with many of us worried about our jobs, our public services, the future of our children and of the communities we live in. We've seen a worrying lack of progress on protecting the environment. And Rupert Murdoch still seems determined to try to grab more power! There's definitely a lot more to do together in 2011.
Thanks for being part of everything we've done together in 2010. We hope you have a great Christmas holiday and are looking forward to working together even more in 2011.
Thanks for everything you do,
David, Hannah, Johnny, Charlotte and the 38 Degrees team

If you want to see how low the media can sink, have a look at this BBC interview with
Jody McIntyre;
BBC Interviewer; 'Did you shout anything provocative, or throw anything that would've induced the Police to do that to you'
Jody McIntyre; 'Do you really think a person with cerebal palsy, in a wheelchair can pose a threat to a Police Officer who is armed with weapons'

And as for Sky, infering that Police were trying to help him on another clip, i'm sure they did when they could see a cameraman recording them !

The comments after the story states his eyes were not ripped out as they found the link to the story in the German newspaper
Ok that may or may not be correct, i don't understand German so i'm not able to translate the original article, but then it goes on to say in the comment that he was blinded,
"A doctor says Wagner is “currently blind and might never have his sight fully restored”.
so not much difference in the long run, it certainly looked like his eyes were hanging out in the photo though !

Sorry but I must have missed it.
medway_garage, what is your position on the protesters? Are they carrying out criminal activities (destruction of property) and should be dealt with by the law?
Dave_Notts

Yes of course! And i would also like Police prosecuted if they have acted illegally as well, and there's plenty of proof of that! Everyone wants a peaceful trouble free demonstration, but if you are being kettled illegally, charged by Police horses while you're in the kettle and cannot escape BECAUSE of the kettle,, Is it any surprise anger boils over ! However there definitely were things certain students did that annoyed the hell out of me too, the cenotaph for example, but considering the sheer scale of that protest it is a very small minority.
Can someone enlighten me how a man in a wheelchair can be a violent protester? I am talking about Jody McIntyre who was dragged from his wheelchair twice by Police!
The footage was shown tonight on 'Newsnight' and the 'BBC News Channel', there's two clips, the earlier attack here's the link to the second attack;

The Police tactics seem very odd, why are they provoking protestors? Also, why are Police covering their ID numbers ????
QUOTE;Following the G20 protests last year, during which Ian Tomlinson died after being pushed to the ground by a police officer not wearing ID, Stephenson said it was "absolutely unacceptable" for officers to cover or remove their shoulder tags bearing identification numbers. However, a video taken by one of the protesters at the London demonstration clearly shows an officer not displaying her OF QUOTE
And yet they are still doing it, here's the footage;

And let's not forget 'Alfie Meadows',attacked by Police when he was trying to leave the kettle, luckily taken to hospital, only to be told when he arrived by Ambulance, that the Police did not want him there, they only wanted Police treated at that Hospital, luckily for Alfie, the Ambulance crew got so angry with the Police that eventually Alfie was admitted, he could have died if he wasn't admitted !

To be honest Browning. Churchill was just a politician so I do not give two hoots about what they done to his statue.
I do agree with you about the cenotaph and the Union Flag. That to me is the same as a graveyard and the desecration is uncalled for. I hope she is charged as the lad who urinated on one in the summer and she gets community service like him.
Dave_Notts

Churchill was just a politician?
Thanks to people like him, the students have the right to protest!!!
Yes, he was a politician who sent thousands of men and women to war that never came back. They are who I am proud of, and they are the ones that gave the ultimate sacrifice so these students can protest ...........not the politician.
Dave_Notts
That was not the fault of Churchill, the country was responding to a threat not made by Churchill.
The Statue is a piece of art which should not be denigrated, never mind who or what is at the top.
Agreed, that as a piece of property the people who damaged it should face the law of the land. However, I would never get my knickers in a twist about it because of the political figure who is on the property.
Churchill, I don't care about. The fact it is property I do and all who damaged it should face justice if caught.
Dave_Notts
Agreed 100%, :thumbup: with things like this I try to imaging how I would feel if this was my property, or my grandparents in the car attacked by the mob, I would not be happy. Who was inside the car is not the point, but the act its self
Indeed i would be pretty p*ssed off if that was my restaurant being trashed !

So if you haven't finished watching the links yet, how can you claim that the footage is more balanced than the media's coverage?
I didn't say that at all, reread what i posted, it's an alternate view from the mainstream media in the crowd while it's happening.

Just a quick heads up, for the next day of action on Saturday 18th Dec;

QUOTE;Saturday December 18th is Pay Day
Over the past few months, protesters have staged sit ins, performance interventions, pickets, flash mobs, superglue stick-ons and intrepid one-woman protests against tax dodgers across the country.
Saturday December 18th is Pay Day, our next day of mass action. One week before Christmas, thousands of people across the country will be hitting the high streets to make sure tax dodgers pay.
Once again we will be targeting the multi-national and the multi-billionaire, Vodafone and Sir Philip Green. Both have been shaken up by the protests so far, but on December 18th they will face protests on a scale they could not have imagined just a few months ago. Vodafone and Arcadia will be targeted on every major high street in the UK. It’s up to you to make it happen.
Tell all your friends, family and colleagues. Come up with creative protest ideas. Start planning. Use our action centre to organise or join an action near you.
If you’re angry that the government is cutting services for the poorest and most vulnerable whilst letting the rich avoid billions in tax, then please join us, even if you have never been on a protest before.
The government is determined to plough ahead with these savage, unnecessary, ideological cuts. But a growing protest movement is starting to stage the fight back. Be a part of it.
See you on high OF QUOTE

There can be no justification for attacking the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall; There can be no justification for attacking the Treasury Building in Whitehall

It was pretty obvious why the Treasury building was targeted, tax avoidance ! The building was sold off via a PFI and leased back to the taxpayer, which apparentely costs us the taxpayer £18bn each year, the MOD building was also sold off in the same way;


As for the events on Oxford St, Top Shop was also being attacked over the very same issue, tax avoidance, in fact if you look at the footage there's a clue 'Pay Your Tax' in large grafitti written on the window, along with various this was going on Charlie and Camilla were driving past, WHY? Did their close protection team really not know what was going on? Or did they want to drive past to see what the little people were doing? Frankly i couldn't care less about all that, so what ! more publicity, good or bad it matters not, by the way GnV what happened to the Royal Family in your country?
Where does this go from here, well there's several things, students standing as MP's against the Lib Dems in areas that voted with the avoidance protests will grow, links with the group 'Anonymous' could be exploited, and of course the students will join our protests against the cuts next year.
Funny i see no mention 'as usual' of Police tactics, dragging a disabled man out of his wheelchair;
At

Police on horseback charging into a protest with school kids, and the usual illegal kettling tactics, not really surprising that the red mist decended is it? I dare say the usual suspects will now rear their heads and talk of soap dodgers and the like.....yawn !

QUOTE;Daily Mail owner Jonathan Harmsworth cares enough about his country to be known as 4th Viscount Rothermere, but not enough that he won’t give up the non-domiciled status that means he can pay tax in France but not the UK.

And cash!

I couldn't agree more.
In a time of austerity where HMG is asking people to tighten their belts and accept job cuts in all sectors of society, it is inconceivable that the PM could justify leaving the presentation circus to travel back to Westminster to do PMQ's then travel back to Zurich to continue as nothing had happened (and then lose the bid).
Who is footing (no pun intended) that bill, I wonder?
I think it was a crass decision to be honest and if Miliband Minor had more go in him, he should have ripped into Cameron at PMQ's to cause as much embarrassment to the Government as possible rather than just inanely praising the PM's efforts.
According to media reports over here,the cost was approx £15 million for staging the bid,presumably picked up by the taxpayer !!!! I'd like to see a breakdown of what was spent and where,if indeed it does turn out to be taxpayers money!
