China bans Western religious music – Telegraph
Chinas culture ministry has banned public performances of Handels Messiah and other major works of western religious music.

It would seem that the with the Olympics over, China is again free to reveal it’s position on basic human rights.

Not outside my front door

This is the sight that confronted me when I opened the front door this morning.
It’s freshers week at St John’s Uni at the end of the street and so the students – like small boys – are doing silly things.
This car belongs to a student. The rubbish belongs in the skip next to it.
Sadly there’s little hope of all this junk finding it’s way back into the skip. It’ll be scattered across the neighbourhood and in the early hours of tomorrow morning the students will return howling and squealing. Meanwhile the usual residents fill in their student disturbance logs for delivery to the college and council later in the year.

Arrested and awaiting deportation

Arrested and awaiting deportation

On Friday September 12, 8 policemen raided a house in Burngreave at 6.15 a.m. Frightened women woke up to find police in their bedrooms. The purpose of the raid was to arrest and detain a young Burundian woman, Annociate Nimpagaritse, and prepare the way for deportation to her country of origin.

This a sad story of a young woman who fled to this country to escape persecution. Follow the blog Free Annociate set up by Graham Wroe and take what ever action you feel is right.
