Ex-Prince Andrew has always been shameless, but now he has been shamed. Professor James Alexander wonders how history will look back on this latest "periodic fit of morality" that has brought down an incautious prince.

What's the point of COP30? Every year thousands fly in to proclaim the urgent need to cut CO2 emissions. And every year global emissions go up. It's the definition of insanity, says Paul Homewood.

Anti-War Resisters Imprisoned

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Friday January 11, 2008 07:25author by Prison Solidarity Report this post to the editors

They're in There For Us, We're on the Loose for Them!

As the war escalates and expands and our movement grows, more resisters will be imprisoned. This can either be an experience of great solidarity and empowerment or demoralisation and defeat. A lot of it depends on us on the outside. Consider sending a postcard or solidarity letter to the following prisoners......

This week anti-nuclear weapons /Trident Ploughshares resisters Helen John (40 days) and Georgina Smith (45 days) Jailed in Scotland for Resistance to Trident

If they're well behaved (this is a big IF we these two!) they should have a release date of March 2nd. 08.

Solidarity mail can be sent to the individual prisoners

Court Report of Sentencing

We had 4 people from FPC and Bilston in Edinburgh for
the court case of Helen John and Georgina Smith
(painting the High Court). The Erskine bridge was
closed and the traffic was just a nightmare, so we
just made before the sheriff sentenced them. Georgina
was sentenced to 45 days in prison and Helen to 40
days plus £1500 compensation each.

The will be held in Cornton Vale Prison Stirling.
: “ they argued articulately and valiantly with
an implacable Sheriff.” “God help Cornton Vale when
they get there.”
