Two days ago no-one accused Segolene Royal of scare-tactics, dirty electioneering, or any kind of pre-Uachtaran vulgarity when she remarked that riots would greet a Sarkozy victory. Accordingly 3,000 riot cops were deployed in central Paris. All the riots where kids burned cars before were in the periphery. To the relief of the establishment the anger didn't leave the ugly quarters. Then Sarkozy won. Overall on 85% of electorate with 50.19%. In posh central 16čme arrondissement where he will now live "in a certain insecurity" he got 80.81% but out in ugliesville 20čme arrondissement Paris he only got 35.37%. What was ugliesville to do? Burn their buses and be ignored again? read full story / add a comment ![]()

"All day up on green, inhale smoke every time I breathe, talking junk when I hit the seed I love that smoke and a bag of weed, might attack that White Widow, dirty bud the hydro - too many people buy the homegrown, It'd wanna be bum to make my mind blow. Thick lumps start to change me, head in the clouds paranoid and lazy, everything about me starts to faze me, never thought weed would drive me crazy, up late and I start to lose my temper..." - Mark One/Sizzla (Feat Virus Syndicate) "I Got Too." read full story / add a comment ![]()

Just wanted to tip people off that DLR council are handing over all out standing waste collection accounts to debt collectors. The council have come under pressure from those campaigning against car clamping and as result it has emerged that the council has never attempted to collect any outstanding debts. Householders are sent out several bills each year for their waste collection with many realising that no attempt has ever been made to collect these monies resulting in most householders getting a free collection for years yet the council continues to bemoan the fact that funds are low. It has been reported locally that the service will be privatised and no doubt they want to collect would could be as much as 7 million before going private. Debt collectors using heavy handed tactics is certainly not the way forward. It was also decided not to announce this until after the election. read full story / add a comment ![]()

Anti-nuclear activists have been demonstrating outside and inside the annual meeting of stockholders of one of Germany’s electricity giants, the transnational EON. A coalition of environmental groups protested in Essen against EON’s plans to expand nuclear power production. Some of the countries where EON is planning new nukes are Finland, Great Britain, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. In Russia the infamous trinational Urenco uranium enrichment company, partly owned by EON, has dumped some 80,000 tonnes of depleted Urenco uranium as waste. read full story / add a comment ![]()
