Diet Change to Save the Planet
Climate change campaigners will be in Cornmarket on Saturday, explaining how changing diet can improve the health of our planet, ourselves and animals. Free homemade Christmas food will illustrate how easy and tasty it can be!
Lighting up Cornmarket in protest
A candlelit vigil at St Michael's in Cornmarket helped bring home the message that climate change affects everyone, and everyone can do something about it.
Protest against Tzipi Livni
The Venue for the Jewish National Fund (JNF) Conference, featuring Israeli Kadima party leader Tzipi Livni, has been revealed as the Hendon Hall Hotel in North West London. The International Solidarity Movement London is one of the collection of Palestine solidarity groups that called for the demonstration against Tzipi Livni and the JNF conference this Sunday. Timed almost a year to the day since Israel began “Operation Cast Lead”, the brutal massacre which left 1417 Palestinians dead and the besieged Gaza Strip in ruins, this event is a disgrace.

On top of South Oxfordshire
Well done to the climate campaigners currently atop Didcot power station. Shame on the media for not reporting it fully - this link is to Indymedia. There are NO HEADLINES on major broadcast networks that I've seen. I suppose they are just looking for confrontation rather than what's actually happening, as usual. Best of the worst at BBC news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/oxfordshire/8327068.stm, nothing on Sky, ITN, Channel 4... and, oh yes, the Oxford Mail managed to spot it archive.oxfordmail.net/2006/11/3/112592.html
