The theatre itself is still illegaly 'occupied' by workers from Hackeny council's contractors, which intend to demolish it, and it is being defended by an activist that has been on the roof continuously since Monday morning.

There is rising concern about the flood-threatening levels of greenwash that will we seeping from The Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA), also known as Chatham House (1), this coming Tuesday February 7th 2006, when BP Chairman Peter Sutherland will be speaking there on 'The future of the World Trade Organisation in addressing sustainable development’ (2). (What we like about these guys is their bone dry sense of humour.) With delicious yet appalling irony, February 7th is also likely to see BP announce record quarterly profits.

The Activist Trauma Network is organising a day of discussion and networking for all who are involved in promoting practical mutual support in activist, campaigning and community groups. This is an ever expanding area, as political work of any kind can be extremely demanding on every level. Many, but not all of us, became involved in this work by having first hand experience of trauma related to activism, police brutality, burn-out, stress-related physical illness and mental health issues. We are planning to discuss our own chosen work in these areas and expand on ideas we may have for projects, make new contacts and give/receive constructive feedback.

1. Call to stop all airport expansions across the uk!

Airport expansion is nearly on us, and we have to get networks running in order to defeat these multi billion pounds projects! cutting through our country side, building new roads to supply them, and of course, CLIMATE CHANGE!

The newly formed, "Campaign Plane Stupid" has it's website up online now.

Evermore spaces for students are being regulated by commercial interests, mediating so-called public and common space for the benefit of expanding markets and profits. Our ability to participate and interact on our terms, with our environment has been severely undermined. Leisure time becomes an extension of work, studying is quantified by our ability to assimilate and conform to uniformed timetables, common rooms are designated ‘financially not viable’, whilst the bars become corporate money-makers. But not just in universities, all around us, the enclosure of public spaces is ongoing and being resisted.
