What Lucy Powell?s Grooming Gang Comments Tell Us About Labour Tue May 06, 2025 13:00 | Andrew Doyle
Voicing concerns about grooming gangs is a "dog-whistle", a "little trumpet" and jumping "on a bandwagon of the far Right". That's what Labour really thinks, says Andrew Doyle, and voters will not be forgiving.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Last weekend came close to seeing the leadership of the Pakistan
state decapitated. Pakistan's new President, Prime Minister and
military chiefs were due to dine at the Marriott Hotel. Only last minute
change of dinner venue saved them.
The attack is an expression of the U.S. war expanding into a Pakistan.
A nation in economic freefall with the possibility of becoming a nuclear
armed failed state..............

VETERANS FOR PEACE MEMBERS STILL OCCUPYING NATIONAL ARCHIVES

Catholic Dominican sisters Ardeth Platte and Carol Gilbert of Jonah House www.jonahhouse.org
and friends return to Missile Silo N-8, scene of their 02 plowshares disarmanent action. Platte and
Gilbert served years in Federal prison for their nonviolent direct action on U.S. weapons of mass
destruction (WMD).
While the U.S. military had problems finding WMD in saddam's Iraq, the good sisters had
no trouble finding multiple WMD in America's midwest backyard conatined in underground missile
silos scattered throughout the farmlands.
In 1984 two plowshares acftivists, Oblate Fr. Carl Kabat and Mother of 11 Helen Woodson
were sentenced to 18 years imprisonment for a similar plowshares action on a missile silo
in Missouri. if this sentence was a deterent to kill of the faith based nonviolent plowshares movement,
it failed dismally. Over 100 plowshares actions have taken place since 1980 (chronology section
www.plowsharesactions.org ) in the U.S., England, Scotland Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany,
Sweden and recently in Aotearoa/ New Zealand
The video of the silo protest from Mark Lewis on YouTube:

On September 27 about 25 activists from Colorado were led by Sisters
Ardeth Platte and Carol Gilbert of Jonah House in a
demonstration at nuclear missile silo N-8 in Weld County Colorado.
During the demo we were were joined on speaker phone by sister Jackie
Hudson of Ground Zero in Washington. The inspirational words of the
three were the highlight of the gathering.
The group was small but diverse including college students from
Regis U in Denver and Colorado College in Colorado Springs. Two of
those who came from Denver were attending the first demonstration they
have ever attended. In addition to the banner shown we decorated the
site with a "Weapons of Mass Destruction Inside" banner and yellow
crime scene tape. Sheriff's deputies and Air Force personnel observed
from a distance but did not intervene.
The story of the U.S.'s deployed nuclear bombs on hair trigger
alert has to be told over and over again. The mass amnesia phenomenon
concerning this reality is impossible to explain.
