to have a bit of a idea about radical europe, here a quote of a mailinglistmessage i find pretty understandable:
In fact, it makes sense to see in the Copenhagen riots as a
continuation of the French protests of 2006, and both as instances of
a new phase for radical movements after the decline which followed the
failed attempt at blocking the Angloamerican invasion of Iraq. In
particular, it is tempting to see it as an anticipation of the
generalized rebellion of the European creative class against the
hyprocrisy, arrogance and corruption elites ruling the EU, which have
been delegitimized by the French-Dutch no, but are clinging to power
as if Europe were an asset that belonged to them. The Brussels summit
is supposed to spruce up the environmental credentials of the EU, in
order to make it appealing at least to somebody beyond the privileged
few. Later in March 2007, the Berlin summit (which will issue the
Berlin declaration on the constitutional future of the EU) will
celebrate half-a-century of European treaties, but it will be the
death of European federalism and the transition to some kind of
confederation of nation-states, combining the bellicosity and racism
of the former with transfer of sovereignty of the latter. We'll also
see how thing turn out in Heilingdamm-Rostock in June, and how
movements from East and West of Europe will be able to fight the G8
and the huge transnational police force that will protect its
closed-doors decisions. The insurgence of European youth in
Copenhagen, Paris and elsewhere seems to point toward increasing
political awareness and radicalization among young people working in
information, knowledge, culture industries. Only the creative class
can alter the course of European history away from its present
reactionary path toward social emancipation of a finally mulatto
eurogeneration. We have to act now for radical Europe, by connecting
and solidarizing with major struggles like the Copenhagen and Athens
revolts: let's create a European space for radical youth culture!
has creativity/fun gone out of education? One either for those who are a bit younger or the older people here with kids at school..
I left high school/sixth form in 1990 and I have no idea really what its like in education today, but I get the impression that even in junior school that there is now far less creative stuff being done like art/music (despite advances in technology) and more emphasis on exams....
it was just starting to go like this in the early 90s... but has it got worse?
UK : East : Record number of Norfolk’s youngsters seeking cannabis rehab treatment From Norfolk's Evening News 24...

Record number of youngsters seek help for cannabis problems

An increasing number of young people are suffering severe mental health problems as a result of smoking cannabis, new figures have revealed.
Statistics from the NHS National Treatment Agency show the number of young people in treatment almost doubled from 2005 to 2006.
In Norfolk, mental health agencies are seeing increasing numbers of people who have developed some form of mental illness through use of cannabis or who have exacerbated an existing problem by self-medicating with the drug.
Norwich Mind said people were taking the drug without considering the consequences and that if people were predisposed to a mental health problem, smoking cannabis would worsen their existing problems.
Sandra Flannigan, from the charity, said: “We are seeing more cases of people having mental health problems with a strong link to smoking cannabis.
“Its long-term use leads to paranoia, personality disorders and psychosis, but unfortunately it is part of young people's culture today.”
Mrs Flannigan said a lot of schizophrenics smoked cannabis to try to alleviate some of their symptoms.
She said more than 70pc of people she refers for rehabilitation have some history of smoking cannabis.
“I don't want to paint a picture that suggests all young people with mental health problems have a link with cannabis,” she said.
“But it is certainly a contributing factor. People are making themselves unwell but youngsters are not listening to what we are saying. It is a really big issue we are dealing with.”
Anne Louise Schofield, young people's drug commissioning officer, at DAAT, Drug and Alcohol Action Team for Norwich, said:
“We know that the two main substances people under the age of 19 most misuse are alcohol and cannabis.
“Some of the people who smoke cannabis might not necessarily need treatment, but quite often they do need some one to talk to.”
Of the cases in which young people required treatment over the last 12 months, 36pc were due to cannabis, with 31pc because of alcohol, 16pc for heroin and 5pc for amphetamines.
About 100 more people sought help from DAAT in 2005/06 than the year before, with 2,325 users getting help compared with 2,201 the previous year.
Last year, heroin was the drug most misused, with 57pc treated for heroin misuse compared with 12pc for problems with cannabis.
Ms Schofield continued: “A rise in people seeking treatment could be attributed to a number of factors, including better awareness of the services available to young people in Norfolk or better identification of young people's drug and/or related needs, resulting in subsequent referrals.”
A decade ago there was a 16,000-strong pro-cannabis march in London, and this was credited with forcing the Government to downgrade the legal status of cannabis to class C.
New research to be published in this week's Lancet will show how cannabis is more dangerous than LSD and ecstasy.
The results come after experts analysed 20 substances for addictiveness, social harm and physical damage.

info on welsh partys? I'm a Suffolk/Norfolk party person and have just got news that i've been accepted to my number one choice of Uni, but...It's in Wales! Newport. I hear they have some sick parties down there, but i need to do some reserach into where they are and which crews do what etc etc. We're planning on taking a trip down into the next couple of weeks, so any information would be greatly apreciated!
Cheers my lovelys! xxxx
(and I'm not looking for numbers for the more suspicious party vibers, just a bit of background)
What they want to change the drug classification to!
*Sorry would post this in the Drug Forum but its blocked on my work PC*
Scientist's say they want the current drug classification to be changed, They want to have a scale done on how harmful these drugs are. This study was published in the Lancet (woop i work for them so i am gonna have a good read), it is also mentioned on the BBC news website http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6474053.stm although its not as indepth as the Lancet study.
This is the scale as they have set it, what i love is good ol Acid and E's are lower than solvents, tobacco and alcohol!
Quote:
The researchers said the current ABC system was too arbitrary, and failed to give specific information about the relative risks of each drug. It also gave too much importance to unusual reactions, which would only affect a tiny number of users.
Professor Nutt said people were not deterred by scare messages, which simply served to undermine trust in warnings about the danger of drugs.
He said: "The current system is not fit for purpose. Let's treat people as adults. We should have a much more considered debate how we deal with dangerous drugs."
He highlighted the fact that one person a week in the UK dies from alcohol poisoning, while less than 10 deaths a year are linked to ecstasy use.
It would be nice to think our government would treat us as adults and let us take informed decisions, but we all know that this is never going to happen.
Well i am gonna sit and have a read of the full article written in the Lancet, it is accessable on their website but it aint free.....
Raves on camera!! Dont know how true his is! But a freind told me earlier there is going to be a program like cops on camera but all about free parties!!
Dont thoink ive seen any film crews at any partys ive been to but i suppose it could be possible!!!
Any one know or heard anything about this? Could be pretty shit if parents saw me in some of the states i've been in.
short server outage there was a short server outage today around 19:27 (UK time), thankfully we're back now..
not sure whether Dr Bunsen rebooted it after he got my text or whether there is some clever "auto-restart" software on the server anyway...
any ideas what caused it?

Quote:
Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media is a book by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky, first published in 1988.
Presenting an analysis its authors call the "propaganda model", the book argues that since mass media news outlets are now run by large corporations, they are under the same competitive pressures as other corporations. According to the book, the pressure to create a stable, profitable business invariably distorts the kinds of news items reported, as well as the manner and emphasis in which they are reported. This occurs not as a result of conscious design but simply as a consequence of market selection: those businesses who happen to favor profits over news quality survive, while those that present a more accurate picture of the world tend to become marginalized.
The book further points out issues with the dependency of mass media news outlets upon major sources of news, particularly the government. If a particular outlet is in disfavor with a government, it can be subtly 'shut out', and other outlets given preferential treatment. Since this results in a loss in news leadership, it can also result in a loss of readership/viewership. That can itself result in a loss of advertising revenue, which is the primary income for most of the mass media (newspapers, magazines, television). To minimize the possibilities of lost revenue, therefore, outlets will tend to report news in a tone more favorable to the government and giving unfavorable news about the government less emphasis.

Shoreditch Rave 1994 [yt]eymdAPUmPWM[/yt]

Warehouse party in Underwood Street, London. It was shot on a mini single chip surveillance camera (black and white) with sound via a cheap mic, recording onto the Video 8 format.
I shot and edited it 1994 with tunes from DJ mixes I had on audio cassette. Cheap and cheerful! The guys on the roof set up a pirate radio antenna and transmitted the music from the main rig.
