retail therapy [shop till you drop]
Visit www.bdsmovement.net to get more info on how you can to support Palestinian commercial rights.
I attended this day of action in Manchester today to protest about the murder of ,now, 1000 Palestinians by Israel.
Last week had seen an even larger march in Manchester.
today's march was smaller ,maybe because of the "Direct Action" element?
Today was a walk through the city centre.Stopping off at Banks & businesses that support Israel.
It ended at the Kedem shop on King Street.
Kedem has now been targetted for 7 days.Today we were met by a couple of hundred people who supported the shop.They waved Israel flags & union jacks and were not happy (they lost another whole day's trade today..Ironically their 'friends' helped to prevent any shoppers going anywhere near the place)
Kedem is an upmarket beauty product shop that sells stuff made in Israel & sourced from the Dead Sea.
One of the Kedemians was rather rude to a young Muslim woman who had brought her young children on the protest.
"You should be ashamed of yourself bring children to such a dangerous place" she spat in the Muslims face.Which is rather ironic.Non?

So mournful that the dove just laughs the steadfast gasps
Oh, to be not anyone
Gone this maze of being skin
Oh, to cry not any cry
So mournful that the dove just laughs the steadfast gasps
Oh, to owe not anyone
Nothing to be
Not here but here
Forsaking equatorial bliss
Who walked through the callow mist
Dressed in scraps
Who walked the curve of the world
Whose bone scraped, whose flesh unfurled
Who grieves not, anyone gone to greet lame
The inspired sky amazed to stumble
Where God's get lost
Beneath the southern cross
Gone this maze of being skin
Oh, to cry not any cry
So mournful that the dove just laughs the steadfast gasps
Oh, to owe not anyone
Nothing to be
Not here but here
Forsaking equatorial bliss
Who walked through the callow mist
Dressed in scraps
Who walked the curve of the world
Whose bone scraped, whose flesh unfurled
Who grieves not, anyone gone to greet lame
The inspired sky amazed to stumble
Where God's get lost
Beneath the southern cross

.Neil Young's Israel Concert Cancelled To Not 'Put People In Gaza Rocket Range At Unnecessary Risk'
I had given Chris a lift for an Interview he was having with Burnley Council's Parks & Garden Dept.(he finds the result of this within the next couple of weeks)
Quite a surreal place to have a job interview ! But a pleasant wait for me.
Burnley has it's own muslim area of burial.
This morning I said prayers for the murdered innocent men,women & children of the current Gaza Ghetto Uprising
May they rest in peace
& may their Israeli murders find some apropriate punishment. somewhere down the line.....
Plus,Burnley has a fine War Memorial for the British dead in two World Wars
.Also,a surprise, a memorial for The Hapton Valley Colliery Disaster 1962
To my shame,I had never known about.......

The new Hapton Valley Colliery soon acquired the name Spa Pit on account of the discovery of a mineral spring around 1818 by Ambrose Eastwood a local farmer. The spring was close by the new pit, and the name adopted. The method of coal extraction at this time at Hapton Valley would have been by pick and shovel working the pillar and stall method of extraction........
....The most fateful day in the collieries history of course was the disaster of
March 22 nd. 1962, when a total of nineteen men perished...........

Ciao Pennadomo! Possiedo Via Caldora n.43.
I currently work three days a week. (Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday).So when I approached my line manager recently to ask if "I may work Thursday 10th July in order to go on Strike" She thought it a pretty fucking stupid idea.
Which i guess it was!
Anyway,today i wasn't technically withdrawing my labour...But I was there anyway.
