offsite link The Fightback Against Politicised Art Has Begun Wed Oct 08, 2025 15:27 | Ferro
The public's indifference to art has never been greater. No wonder, says Ferro: it's all just tired Left-progressive politics by another means. But the fightback for real art that moves the human soul has begun.

Stop and Search powers in North

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Friday January 22, 2010 03:13author by campaigner Report this post to the editors

Couple of links highlighting the extent of repressive legislation in the North and the disparity with recent official reports

According to the BBC, the Policing Board is saying that there were 10,000 stop and searches in the 6 counties in the 12 months from 1 April 08 - 31 March 09.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8471548.stm

However, I see that eirigi have published more recent figures for nine months 1 January 09 - 30 September 09 which are double that number, ie., over 20,000 stop and searches in 9 months last year.
http://www.eirigi.org/latest/latest210110.html
and also in relation to the EU court ruling last week http://www.eirigi.org/latest/latest120110.html

There has been very little comment on these figures or the EU court ruling.

Its time that all this was highlighted,especially if eirigi's figures are right. Everyone should read these links and write letters, statements etc. Few ordinary people know the extent of this political policing.
