NOVANEWS   Byline: BY JEANETTE OLDHAM  A MIDLAND charity boss who advises the Government on how to tackle discrimination has been criticised by a court for failing in his duty of impartiality.

The backlash against the UK National Union of Journalists’ boycott motion

NOVANEWS The “continued occupation” protested by the UK National Union of Journalists: Israeli soldiers control the movement of Palestinians attempting to cross Huwara checkpoint near the West Bank city of Nablus, 29 April 2007. (Rami Swidan/MaanImages) There’s nothing quite like a boycott to test the limits of the mainstream ‘liberal’ critique of Israel. This has been demonstrated once again by the reaction to a motion at the recent UKNational Union of Journalists (NUJ) conference that gave the union’s support to the campaign to boycott Israeli goods.  An official statement described the successful vote as a “decision of NUJ members as trade unionists and as citizens to try to help put pressure on the Israeli government” to stop the “continued occupation”, as well as referenc...

COMMUNITY SPIES??

NOVANEWS ARE WE BEING SPIED UPON? It is intolerable that so-called Community Wordens should infringe people’s privacy. We were treated as ‘the enemy within’. Instead of working for the safety of the community they SPYING on the activities of a legal political parties. This record of infringement of our basic rights indicates how flimsy our grip on democracy can be. The situation cries out for greater transparency and accountability. Above all, shows that there must be stop to this activity so that they serve the interests of our community rather than the elite. “When we worked as Wardens for THE BALSALL HEATH FORUM, we have been instructed by our line manager Pat Wing, Dick Atkinson and Abdul Hamid Wardens Co-Ordinater to report Islamic Activist’s who deliver leaflets in the area we cover...

NO OPPOSITION

NOVANEWS Where is David Cameron in all this? Liam Fox’s appearance on Andrew Marr’s Sunday Morning programme that the Tories actually fully support Labour’s policies on Zio=Nazi regime of 'Israel,' Afghanistan and Iraq. Since they support Labour’s Education policies, it seems we no longer need an opposition party. So where is Cameron and why is he not attacking New Labour with all the ferocity he can muster?   The truth is Cameron supports the Zio=Nazi war in Lebanon. He said, “Our Government has been right to call for a (It is height of hypocrisy to call for R1559 be implemented because Zio=Nazi 'Israel' in violation of numerousUN resolutions Notably R242. It appears to me that Mr. Cameron never heard of any of the 167 United  Nations’ Resolutions to the Zio=Nazi army to withdraw from...

BALSALL HEATH FORUM SPY CCTV

NOVANEWS Events have become interesting in the debate over the CCTV scheme that is currently managed by the Balsall Heath Forum, in conjunction with a Home Office scheme to reduce crime ? and getting local residents involved. In the Balsall Heathan April edition there were a two letters published; one from the CCTV volunteers to our then councillors and one from a "police station volunteer" Gweneth Carragher.

“What was the right answer for the question?” George Galloway and gay rights

NOVANEWS By: pink news 21st February 2006 George Galloway “manages a slight, knowing, smirk as he posed for a photograph“ George Galloway is a giant figure in British politics yet at just five foot and six inches he has difficulties towering over even me, someone famed for their short stature. The first thing that I notice apart from his height is that Galloway is nothing like his television persona. I’ve always thought of him as a thoroughly unlikeable man, someone I couldn’t imagine having a pleasant conversation with. But his warmth won me over, he seemed genuinely pleased to communicate with the gay community and asked if I’d mind conducting the interview in his sparse basement as it would be a little quieter than his manically busy constituency office. Through the constant nois...
