Welcome to Roy`s Space
This site was given me as a Christmas present in 2001 by Kerris & Jules and what
a wonderful present it’s been.
I have so enjoyed developing it and like Topsy it’s grown & grown. It’s been such
fun sharing my life, my beliefs, things I’ve found, my interests. And so many
photos. In the past I’d have a film in my camera for a year before finishing it
– then along came digital and what fun it’s become.
Click on Picture Gallery for images or select from the list below on the left.
For the written word Interests includes
I hope it will give you as much pleasure visiting it as it has given me creating
it. Come again. If you want to contact me, e-mail me at roy@roystpierre.com
Love & peace
Roy

Non-Aligned Countries Endorse Venezuelan Proposal for Alternative World Media

The True Role of Immigrants
Open letter from President Evo Morales re the EU “return directive”
Up to the end of the Second World War, Europe was a continent of emigrants. Thousands of Europeans left for the Americas to colonize, escape from hunger, financial crisis, war, totalitarian governments and the persecution of ethnic minorities.
Today, I am following with concern the process of the “return directive”. The text, agreed on 5 June by the Interior Ministers of 27 countries of the European Union, has to be voted on in the European Parliament on June 18th. I feel that it drastically worsens the conditions of detention and deportation for undocumented immigrants, regardless of how long they have spent in a EU country, their work situation, their family ties, how much they want to and have been able to integrate.

Safety First Coalition for womens' safety |
|
|
|
|
What is so shocking about adverts for escorts in local papers? Why does Harriet Harman want to clamp down on the safer ways women have found to work? Following the tragic Ipswich murders, we called together a Safety First Coalition of nurses, doctors, church people, probation officers, anti-poverty campaigners, sex workers and others, to ensure that women are not repeatedly placed in danger. We believe that there can be no protection while sex workers are being hounded, and campaign for prostitution to be decriminalised and for proper economic alternatives for women who want to get out of prostitution. Whatever people may think about sex work, women’s safety must be the priority.

Rid Scotland of nuclear weapons |
|
|
|
|
Alex Salmond has made a major bid to win international backing for his government's campaign to rid Scotland of nuclear weapons, the Sunday Herald revealed.
The First Minister has written to over 180 countries highlighting the nation's opposition to the deployment of Trident nuclear warheads on the Clyde, and his determination to try and block the UK government's decision to replace Trident over the next few decades.

one to think seriously about |
|
|
|
|
Presumably people protest against nuclear weapons because they have the potential not only to kill vast numbers of people but also animals and the environment.
Cars are the same except that their threat is realised daily. Not only do cars kill vast numbers of people and animals (100,000 foxes p.a. in the UK for example), but they poison the environment, and contribute hugely to global warming.
So obviously people who care about the environment (like anti nuclear protesters) don't drive cars, because it’s much simpler to address one's own polluting habits than to persuade the Government to stop its nuclear disgracefulness.
Well I assume that’s true. Is it?
If it’s not & you who read this are anti-nuclear and still drive a car then give it up now. No need to hold debates. No need to discuss targets for reduction. Just give it up.
Walking and Cycling are decent ways to get about.
"It didn't take a war to fuel this bike"
The alternative for individual transport to walking and cycling is the car. Drivers' demand for petrol and biofuel is causing untold misery and death worldwide.

On 9 October 1967 the US government ordered the assassination of Che Guevera.
Che had been wounded and captured the day before by US trained Bolivian soldiers. Following discussions between the CIA and the Bolivian military junta in La Paz, Che was executed.
A Bolivian Sergeant, Mario Terán, carried out the task. After his death, Che Guevera’s body was flown to Vallegrande to be photographed in the laundry house of the town’s small hospital. Sergeant Terán spent the following decades hiding in fear of realiation. He developed cataracts in both eyes and became virtually blind.
Today the same hospital in Vallegrande serves as a base for some 20 Cuban doctors who provide free medical assistance to the local population uder Cuba’s programme of medical assistance to Bolivia. Amazingly the same man who killed Che, Sergeant Mario Terán, has had his sight restored by Cuban ophthalmic surgeon’s working in La Paz as part of the sight-saving programme ‘Operacíon Miraglo’ – CUBA SÍ, MAGAZINE OF THE CUBA SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN

Two stories reported in CAAT News |
|
|
|
|
An engineering student has donated money he was awarded as a prize by BAE Systems to CAAT [Campaign Against the Arms Trade]. The student at Loughborough University was awarded the prize for being the “most improved student”, but he was also a most concerned student about the millions accepted from BAE by his university. He said: “The influence of BAE over the course was pretty heavy, the steering committee was BAE dominated, the studies were often BAE oriented. Engineers can do a lot more with their skills than just help the arms trade”. – PRIVATE EYE, 14/9/07
The owner of a hardware company has admitted to defrauding the Pentagon out of more than $20m, in one case charging almost £1m for shipping two washers costing 19 cents. Over nearly 10 years the firm exploited an automatic shipping payment system designed to speed up shipments to US forces overseas. – GUARDIAN UNLIMITED 17/8/07
