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.

The piece of video that really stood out for me in 2011 was of this amazingly brave woman during the Egyptian Revolution in January. I saw it on the big screen and it had the translation – she was shouting extremely strong stuff about Mubarak, corruption, the police etc right up in front of a row of police and highly visible (and so targetable) in very bright clothes. Click here to get a flavour of it, even though in Arabic, it still has a great rhythm to it for non-Arabic speakers. If anyone knows a weblink to it where it has a translation, please let me know at roy@roystpierre.com

Instead of banning smoking in cars, ban cars. Problem solved. Children and adults health will be massively improved as people, especially all those tubbies out there, rediscover their legs whether walking, cycling or using public transport. As smokers exercise and get fit, their desire for fags will diminish too. The added bonus – we’ll get out streets back for children to play and for our communities to have an open-air social life. And no more families destroyed by death or injury on the roads.A highly recommended book, 'The Energy Glut' by Ian Roberts with Phil Edwards, Zed Books

In 2009, Layla Ibrahim told police she had been the victim of a savage sexual assault. So why did she end up in jail?Simon Hattenstone and Afua Hirsch
guardian.co.uk, Friday 12 August 2011 23.02 BST
Sara Ibrahim says that since the day her little sister Layla was sent to prison, her family has been faced with a simple choice: "Do we give up and just get on with our lives, or do we clear her name? And we've decided if it takes the rest of our lives, that's what we'll do ? we'll clear her name."

On 1 February 2011 the former Hetherington Research Club at Glasgow University was occupied and re-opened as ?The Free Hetherington? as an alternative social and learning space but also as a base for anti-cuts struggle on campus.On 21st March Police forcibly evicted the 15 students present at the time with no warning, with no eviction order being given and with some students being injured. During the eviction a supporting crowd built up and after, with most of the police gone about 100 people then occupied the University Senate rooms a plush suite where the University management operate. In the end the Management caved in and told the students they could have Hetherington back if they left the Senate rooms so within 12 hours of the eviction, the students were "rather cordially" invited back in.

How does it feel to be a doctor here? Before I came here I was not free and I never knew real respect. Here, in the sovereign state of Tahrir, we are all free. I was born on the 28th January when I came to Tahrir Square. We have organised everything here for ourselves, we have done things we never thought we would do and felt things we never thought we would feel. There is an old saying that says that, in life you should ?make your friends happy and your enemies angry? and that is what we are doing in this revolution. I will be here until we succeed.

A computerless friend of mine, Chris Brown has asked me to circulate his suggestion about the banks which I?ve tried to summarise (from a phone conversation) belowThanks
Roy St Pierre
?Most of us are cross with the big banks for causing the financial crisis.
Despite the cuts we are all facing and the huge bail-out from public funds they received, bankers seem to be carrying on as usual with huge bonuses
So instead of waiting for the Government to do something, why don?t those of us with accounts with the big banks just remove them, stop them playing with our money.
So if not already a member, why not switch to the Cooperative Bank? No shareholders to pay off and while not perfect, it does at least have an ethical policy.?

In December last year the Helensburgh District Court sat for the last time. Here is one anecdote from a court case arising from the campaign to shut down the Faslane Nuclear Base:
The time when JP Stirling, presiding over a Trespassing charge at Faslane Base, was interrupted from the public gallery by Sylvia Boyes who appealed for?Common Sense? to prevail and that she and the accused should be tried together as they had been arrested together. ?Sit down madam? commanded the JP, ?Common sense plays no part whatsoever in these proceedings!!!?

Penalty Notices (PN) are increasingly being used by the police against people accused of offences ranging from ?littering? to ?harassment?. Arrested and taken into custody, people are offered the option of accepting a PN and paying a fine under threat of being charged and taken to court, not realising that in many cases not only they are innocent but there is insufficient evidence for them to be prosecuted. Black Women?s Rape Action Project and Legal Action for Women recently got a penalty notice withdrawn. It had been issued against the son of one of our volunteers, a young man who suffers from severe trauma and has been picked on by police on a number of occasions. We record below how we did it.

The international sales office of arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch was shut down on Thursday 18th February by anti-arms-trade activists.The six activists arrived at H&K's Nottingham warehouse building before any employees turned up. Using D-locks and arm-tubes, one pair locked themselves to the staff entrance while another pair blockaded the goods gate. Meanwhile the other two gained access to the roof and hung anti-arms-trade banners on the front of the building.

Just a quick message of hope...Yesterday, US arms manufacturers Raytheon, made a formal announcement that they will pull out of Derry city before the end of next month. While I am quite confident they will spin the story to make it look like it is part of their global restructuring plan.....the power of protest and persistence can not be underestimated on this one. For years, people in Derry have continued to campaign against the plant and at least twenty one people have been hauled before the courts with a raft of charges against them including trespass, criminal damage etc. etc...

Please consider signing this petition in support of the right, that parents have always had, to educate their children at homeClick here
In particular, the government should ensure :-
? No right of access to the family home without evidence of a crime
? No right to interview a child alone without evidence of risk of serious harm
? No CRB checks or registration for parents to look after their own children, or to informally look after those of their friends, family etc
? No licensing / registration / assessment / monitoring of methods by which parents fulfil their duties without evidence that they are failing to do so, and with specific recognition that education ?otherwise? than at school is a perfectly legal option to fulfil their duty regarding education
? No undermining of parents as being in the best position to determine how to meet their child?s needs, according to their age, ability, aptitude, and any special needs they may have
? Greater focus on applying existing resources and procedures to cases of children known to be at risk, rather than dilution of these resources by routinely monitoring whole sections of the community
? Compliance with the fundamental presumption of innocence unless there is specific evidence to the contrary For more click below

Sheffield students today targeted military recruiters and arms dealers at the University's careers fair, demanding they have a say over who is allowed on campus. The stalls of QinetiQ, Rolls Royce, the Army and the Navy were all dismantled with protesters bagging up materials from the stalls and removing them from campus.Read full article: 'A great piece of anti-militarist direct action'

Since the 7 July 2005 attacks, the great and the good of British society have been urging British Muslims to engage in the usual channels of political action, to vent their anger at British foreign policy without exploding bombs or shooting guns.Yet when a group of angry Muslims does just that, protesting in the time-honoured way, albeit in an unusual location, the home-coming parade for the 2nd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment (British soldiers returning from Iraq), they have been vilified.
Those who have condemned the demonstrations so harshly should reflect on the conclusions that disaffected Muslims might draw from this incident.

An application by the Metropolitan Police and Westminster Council for a Closure Order against two flats at 61 Dean Street, Soho, was dismissed today. (Excellent report in the Evening Standard below.)With the help of Soho sex workers and other local people, the English Collective of Prostitutes and Legal Action for Women gathered evidence to show the case against the women of 61 Dean Street was entirely spurious, and prevented them from being evicted from the safety of their flats.

Protest : World leaders launch 'Global Zero' initiative for nuke-free world - Poll shows 81% support ban
World leaders launch 'Global Zero' initiative for nuke-free world - Poll shows 81% support ban The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament welcomed the ?Global Zero? initiative of 100 international political, military, business, and civic leaders, which today launched a campaign for the abolition of nuclear weapons worldwide through multilateral negotiations. The leaders, which include former Foreign Secretaries Margaret Beckett, Malcolm Rifkind, Douglas Hurd and David Owen, Richard Branson, former President Jimmy Carter and Mikhail Gorbachev, want a binding agreement to eliminate all nuclear weapons through phased and verified reductions.

I expect anything of Governments, I didn?t trust John F Kennedy or expect anything from Labour in ?97. Wilson?s Labour Government sowed my mistrust when it brought in a Commonwealth Immigrants Act that was even more draconian that the one proposed by the Tories, just to win an election (how little changes).
However two items from history I?ve just heard about have left even me rather gobsmacked.
The first, part of Britain?s secret shameful history, was the subject of a pamphlet by Phil Kaiserman, a British soldier who was sent to Vietnam in October 1945, the second NASA?s ?Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Cassini Mission?. They show how cynical and cavalier governments and government agencies can be. Click below to read on?

The True Role of ImmigrantsOpen 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.

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.

Dear friends,I have won Indefinite Leave to Remain for myself and my three year old daughter! I was at the Crossroads Women?s Centre, where I volunteer, when my lawyer called. My heart sank. Usually my lawyer has nothing but bad news for me. When he told me I had won I couldn?t believe my ears. I thought he must be speaking about another person. I couldn?t sleep at all that night. I stared at the ceiling with my daughter lying beside me.

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.
