The IF campaign has decided it can most effectively fight world hunger by making cute little paper boxes. They believe (or so they make out) that this sort of crafting will persuade George Osborne to be nice and not spend aid money on shooting africans.

What a load of crap.

Riseup! Radio is being re-launched. In a few weeks time our first show for nearly four years will be arriving in your hearing holes. There will be many many things on the show- reports from the Annoymous Demo, political chit chat in the Sumac Bar, news from the NG7 Food Bank and loads of other good good stuff.

Energy giant EDF have taken out civil proceedings against a group of activists who scaled chimneys at their West Burton plant last October.

The company is demanding £5 million in damages, despite admitting in court that there's very little chance of getting any substantial amount of money back.
