Bad news for eco-zealots trying to bully us into swapping our cars for electric vehicles. The prices of used EVs have plunged by ?14,000, according to Cazoo. Not such a good investment, then.

Oxford's climate journalism course is closing as no one's buying the constant climate fear, says Chris Morrison. Media's tired of the doom and gloom, and more people are waking up to the real facts on carbon and energy.

Victory at Nandigram

category international | anti-capitalism | news report author Friday January 18, 2008 11:20author by Margaretta D'Arcy - Women in Media & Entertainment Report this post to the editors

Bengal Government caves in to popular resistance

Last January, the peasantry of Nandigram in West Bengal, India, rose up to prevent the State Government from expropriating their land and transforming it into a special economic zone for the Indonesian-based Salim Group. Nandigram became off-limits for government representatives, with villagers digging up roads and burning down bridges to keep them out.

On 17 December 2007 Women in Media & Entertainment held an Awareness Vigil at the Indian Embassy, Dublin, and secured an interview with the Ambassador, Mr Saurabh Kumar, expressing our concern. We have now received a letter from Mr M. C. Naithani, Minister at the embassy. In it he assures us that “the Government of West Bengal has announced that there will be no acquisition of land for the chemical hub Special Economic Zone. The Central Government remains committed to providing all possible help and assistance to the State Government to maintain peace, restore complete normalcy and maintain rule of law in the affected areas. The situation is now normal and under control.” This is a fantastic victory for the peasants of Nandigram, who despite the utmost brutality employed against them, including the massacre of 14 villagers, stood together and saved their land and way of life.
