BE PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL, BE PART OF HARDCORE XPRESSION!
SPREAD THE WORD!
never underestimate the power and attraction of war… in most communities where there are a fair amount of elderly people you often see old soldiers, sailors and airmen wheeled out on the anniversaries of significant battles in World War II, as well as comrades' meetings for those involved in special missions/projects.
when Europe was ablaze and Britain under attack they fought hard as they all could and now in their final years want to remember those days, particularly to reminisce about the bravery of fighters and the ingenuity of the military-industrial complex.
Now what did surprise me though, is nowadays the Germans are very often invited to these gatherings! This shocked me TBH; for one thing I would have thought many Germans many not to want to attend (they did lose after all!)
Furthermore, I would have expected after a few drinks that old hatreds would be re-ignited; the air would echo with the crack of walking stick across zimmer frame and arthritic knee, teacups and saucers would be smashed into wrinkled faces, knobbly noses would break under the impact of dimpled beer mugs, and false teeth would go flying across the village hall floors..
But none of these things happen. The former enemies admire photos and preserved aircraft/equipment, they reminisce about skirmishes, and discuss each others tactics without the fear of being called traitors. Many actually become good friends!
But behind all this friendship; you get the feeling that even when it comes to stuff like the bombing of civillian areas and/or the concentration camps; both sides feel they did what they had to do and would do it all one more time if it their had their youth again.
But it does make you wonder about some of the storys they (on both sides) tell their sons and grandsons.
Consider the amount of racism and Europhobia about even today; and the rise in neo-fascism in some European countries. Perhaps we are all still fighting the war across the generations, but with a few more enemes added today?

The Institute for Electronic Artists 3rd May 2006
About Us The Institute for Electronic Artists is an organisation that has been established to aid, encourage and promote the continued development of electronic music and art. We provide a forum for producers of electronic art to share ideas, network and build relationships with other artists and people with related interests, such as promoters, DJs, VJs, etc.
Our events feature music, video and images produced by the artists present. Artists are invited to bring along there work on CD-R to be played or displayed and corresponding artwork and composer details are displayed using a projector.
Inspiration
The Institute for Electronic Artists creates a space in which electronic music and art can be viewed, heard, discussed and developed. The innovative delivery of the event provides artists with a unique opportunity to hear work created by their peers in a relaxed informal setting, facilitating networking and artist cross pollination.
“We felt that there was a large number of people writing electronic music at home. Many of these Artists will not have an outlet for their music or a means to showcase their material to others. A regular evening dedicated to these artists is essential to build relationships, ambition and inspire others to keep writing music.”

The Euston Manifesto
The Euston Manifesto
Norman Geras and Nick Cohen
Monday 17th April 2006
It started with some like-minded progressives meeting in a London pub. Disenchanted with what they saw as the wrong-headed thinking of the anti-war movement, they began to talk of a new left movement. By Norman Geras and Nick Cohen
On a Saturday last May, right after the general election, 20 or so similarly minded people met in a pub in London. We had no specific agenda, merely a desire to talk about where things were politically. Those present were all of the left: some bloggers or running other websites, their readers, a few with labour movement connections, one or two students. Many of us were supporters of the military intervention in Iraq, and those who weren't - who had indeed opposed it - none the less found themselves increasingly out of tune with the dominant anti-war discourse. They were at odds, too, with how it related to other prominent issues - terrorism and the fight against it, US foreign policy, the record of the Blair government, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and, more generally, attitudes to democratic values.
At that first meeting our discussion focused on our common sense of discord with much current left-liberal thinking. We talked of how the prevailing consensus had ample representation in the liberal press, on the BBC and Channel 4, whereas the viewpoint of our own segment of the left was significantly under- represented in the mainstream media. We had, however, found a place on the internet and in the blogosphere, which had helped to connect people who might otherwise have felt isolated and had given expression to the voices and debates of a left other than the one heard loudly everywhere: from TV screens and newspapers, in universities and other workplaces, in theatres, at dinner tables and at every kind of social gathering. Its ideas were so much perceived as conventional wisdom that many found it difficult to allow that there could be an alternative left-liberal view.
The group that took informal shape that Saturday decided to continue meeting, with the aim of getting its political arguments out beyond the internet, of winning for those arguments a greater space within more traditional forums of public discussion. We have met twice more (at a pub near Euston Station, as it happens); others who were not at the initial meeting have become involved.
We have now produced a manifesto, in advance of a public launch some time in May. In it we set out our basic commitments. In the nature of what it is, a document of orientation, the manifesto may, in some of its points, appear to state the obvious. We make no apology for this. Part of the problem with much contemporary left-liberal opinion is that too many things that should be obvious in the light of the history of the past hundred years seem not to be so.
We hope that this manifesto will serve as an encouragement to others who, like ourselves, bel ieve that some of the most important values of a progressive politics have lately been lost sight of, subordinated to wrong-headed political priorities and insubstantial tactical considerations.
Beyond socialism
In the preamble to the Euston Manifesto, we announce our broad aim:
We are democrats and pro-gressives. We propose here a fresh political alignment. Many of us belong to the left, but the principles that we set out are not exclusive. We reach out, rather, beyond the socialist left towards egalitarian liberals and others of unambiguous democratic commitment. Indeed, the reconfiguration of progressive opinion that we aim for involves drawing a line between the forces of the left that remain true to their authentic values, and currents that have lately shown themselves rather too flexible about these values. It involves making common cause with genuine democrats, whether socialist or not.
We then go on to a statement of principles. There is no space here to present them in detail, but this is a brief summary:
We value the traditions and institutions of the liberal, pluralist democracies, and we decline to make excuses for, to indulgently "understand", reactionary regimes and movements for which democracy is a hated enemy. We hold the fundamental human rights codified in the Universal Declaration to be precisely universal. Equally, violations of these rights are to be condemned whoever is responsible for them and regardless of cultural context. The manifesto speaks of our attachment to egalitarianism in all domains.
We reject the anti-Americanism which is infecting so much left-liberal thinking. We support the right of both the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples to self-determination within the framework of a two-state solution. There are paragraphs opposing racism and identifying the resurgence of anti-Semitism; on terrorism and against the excuses made for it; on humanitarian intervention when states violate the common life of their peoples in appalling ways.
We argue that the time is long overdue to break with the tradition of left apologetics for anti-democratic forces and regimes; that there is a duty of respect for the historical truth; and that it is more than ever necessary to affirm that, within the usual constraints against incitement, people must be at liberty to criticise beliefs - including religious be liefs - that others cherish.
Justice for everyone
The left now has to fight two battles simultaneously. We defend democracies against all who make light of the differences between them and tyrannical regimes. But these democracies have shortcomings. Their social and economic foundations are marked by deep inequalities and unmerited privilege. In turn, global inequalities are a scandal to the moral conscience of humankind. Millions live in terrible poverty, an standing indictment against the international community. In keeping with our traditions, we on the left fight for justice and a decent life for all. In keeping with the same traditions, we have also to fight against powerful forces of tyranny, which are on the march again.
The supporters of the Euston Manifesto took different views on the war in Iraq, both for and against. We recognise that it was possible reasonably to disagree about the justifications for the war and the manner in which it was carried through. We are, however, united in our judgement of the reactionary, murderous character of the Ba'athist regime in Iraq, and we recognise its overthrow as a liberation of the Iraqi people. We are also united in the view that, from the day this occurred, the proper concern of the liberal left should have been the battle to put in place in Iraq a democratic political order and to create, after decades of brutal oppres-sion, a life for Iraqis which those living in democratic countries take for granted - rather than endlessly rehearsing the arguments over intervention.
This puts us in opposition not only to those on the left who have actively spoken in support of the gangs of jihadist and Ba'athist thugs of the Iraqi "resistance", but also to others who manage to find a way of situating themselves between such forces and those trying to bring a new democratic life to the country, or who pay lip-service to this aim, while devoting most of their energy to criticism of their political opponents at home and observing a tactful silence about the ugly methods of the Iraqi "insurgency".
The violation of basic human rights at Abu Ghraib, at Guantanamo, and by the practice of "rendition", must be roundly condemned for what it is: a departure from universal principles (for the establishment of which the democratic countries bear the greater part of the historical credit). But we reject the double standards by which too many on the left consider the violations of hu man rights perpetrated by democracies to be more serious than far worse infractions committed by other countries - about which they have little to say.
It is vitally important for the future of progressive politics that people of democratic outlook should now speak clearly against those for whom the entir e progressive agenda has been subordinated to a blanket and simplistic "anti-imperialism". The values and goals which properly make up that agenda - the values of democracy, human rights, solidarity with peoples fighting against poverty, tyranny and oppression - are what most enduringly define the shape of any left worth belonging to.
The Euston Manifesto is only a preliminary step. It is a work in progress - its purpose is to establish a position around which we hope others will rally and to generate a debate more fruitful than much of what has lately taken place. The Euston Manifesto Group is a loose association of bloggers, journalists, academics and activists who write and discuss and argue. Besides the pre-sent writers, they include Jane Ashworth, Brian Brivati, Damien Counsell, Eve Garrard and Shalom Lappin. The manifesto has attracted the support of others in Britain and abroad, including John Lloyd, Paul Berman, Pamela Bone, Anthony Julius, Kanan Makiya, Michael Walzer and Francis Wheen. We hope there will be many more in the run-up to our public launch and after it.

Lost wallet hey there just putting a post on for my m8 who lost his wallet at the peterborough rave on saturday. it was a black leather wallet with around a fiver in it "he thinks" and the first name on the provisional drivers license is thomas. if anyone has possibly found it could they please pm.
Dodgy pill warning whatever these two people took, it's unlikely to be MDMA, IMO
ISTR another report of some blue pills that gave people some unpleasant effects posted on this site recently
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/4777812.stm
Ecstasy warning as boys collapse
Police have warned people not to take tablets from a possible rogue batch of ecstasy after two teenagers were rushed to hospital from a Swansea nightclub
Officers are warning anyone who bought similar large blue tablets to the teenagers to seek medical treatment.
The boys, aged 15 to 16, are believed to have bought the tablets in the Port Talbot area.
They were taken to Morriston Hospital by ambulance from the Escape nightclub early on Sunday morning.
One of the boys had been put on a ventilator but on Monday police said both were in a stable condition.
Offices are urging anyone who has bought similar tablets to the pair to get rid of them immediately and seek medical help.
Illicit drugs
Det Ch Insp Peter Azzopardi said the incident involving two youth could have resulted in death with "the extreme consequences for families, friends and those involved in the supply of such substances".
Mr Azzopardi said there were number of treatment agencies that could offer advice including the West Glamorgan Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, the Swansea Drugs Project and Bro Morgannwg Health Trust.
"This is another example of the type of misery that suppliers of illicit drugs can inflict on our communities," he said.
Aneurin Owen, from the north Wales drug and alcohol agency Cais, told BBC Wales events like this were quite unusual.
"When you think that millions of young people use ecstasy every week, these incidents are fairly rare," he said.
"The main risk around ecstasy is the unpredictability of the quality and therefore the risks are very high even for those who are using ecstasy recreationally, maybe even for the first time, as we know.
"People should only take it from people that they know, that they have had drugs from in the past, obviously and take very great care.
"The police have issued this warning [and] the word is on the street now."
Anyone with information about this incident or drug dealing in general is asked to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or Swansea and Neath Police on 01792 456999.
