The politics and reality of the peak oil scare
by Andrew Flood & Chekov Feeney
Peak Oil Theory has been around since the 1970s. Some think we have already reached 'peak oil', others think it will happen with the next twenty-five years. The theory argues that when we reach 'peak oil' the rate at which we extract oil from the earth (measured in millions of barrels per day) will reach a maximum and thereafter will start to drop.

Anarchism, Elections and all that
by Alan Mac Simoin
The Workers Solidarity Movement, along with anarchist organisations throughout the world, refuses to take part in parliamentary elections.

Direct Action Gets The Goods – But How??

Interview with Ana Lopez from the International Union of Sex Workers
In supporting this kind of initiative of sex workers organizing, you don’t necessarily have to agree with my view that sex work is a legitimate type of work, and that it’s not inherently exploitative

That no one would willingly engage in sex work, or travel across borders to engage in sex work. And this is a problem precisely because it both hides the labour of sex workers (and the labour of sex in general) and it continues the stigmatisation of sex work, in effect contributing to the policing of sex workers (and accordingly, migrants)."

In the interview with Ana Lopez, she suggests that involvement by women in the sex industry is laregely a matter of choice. In particular she dismisses the idea of widespread sex slavery among eastern European women. This report suggests that the reality is different.
Sex slavery widespread in England
There is evidence of thousands of children working in the sex trade
Young women tricked into coming to England, often by boyfriends, are being sold off in auctions at airport coffee shops as soon as they arrive. They are among the thousands of women brought into the UK to be sex slaves, usually with no idea of their fate.
The trade was one of the findings of a BBC News website investigation into slavery in 21st Century England.
As the UK marks 200 years since the Parliamentary Act to abolish the slave trade, slavery goes on in another form.
The slave trade, outlawed by legislation introduced in March 1807, saw people from Africa transported en masse to the Americas by the UK and other European countries.
