Suffragettes stage "Defend the Right Protest" rally, Trafalgar Square, London, 6/3/26 Ahead of International Women's Day activists dressed as suffragettes - the early 20th century direct action group who helped gain women the vote - protest in Trafalgar Square in pouring rain, calling for repeal of the Public Order Act 2023 which gave police and courts yet more powers to restrict and criminalise peaceful protest activity. The women, supporters of Fossil Free London, aim to highlight the unprecedented punishments given to climate campaigns for peaceful protest. By coincidence, the event took place the same day police raided the homes of "Take Back Power" activists, many of whom were arrested last night at Westminster Quaker Meeting House.

Well that's all very nice, for those who give a damn about "sport", but having just deleted the Bluesky Android app from my phone - because it kept freezing - and failed to re-install from Google Play because it just hangs .... I'm wondering why on earth I bother!
Bayer really seem to have a hard-on for genocide. Previously, as part of the IG Farben conglomerate, they were up to their necks in the crimes of Nazi Germany - e.g. conducting medical experiments in Auschwitz, producing gas, etc. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

Activists, joined by #GreenParty MP Carla Denyer, gather at the Royal Courts of Justice yesterday as a legal challenge is made by Communities Against Gatwick Noise Emissions (CAGNE) and Gatwick Area Conservation Campaign opposing Transport Secretary Heidi Alexanderโs decision to grant development consent for a second operating runway at Gatwick Airport. The extra capacity is expected to lead to over 100,000 extra flights per year. They assert there are numerous gaps in the environmental assessment of the new runway, including increased flight emissions, climate impacts and noise pollution.

'London Exhibition Forced to Close After Right-Wing Vandal Attacks'
news.artnet.com/art-world/lo...
London, UK. 17 January, 2026. Leader of the Opposition KEMI BADENOCH addresses a protest opposing the proposed Chinese mega embassy in the former Royal Mint in London's financial district. Hong Kong diaspora, joined by Tibetans, Uyghurs and others have raised fears over security and spying at what, if approved, would be China's largest embassy in Europe. Tower Hamlets Council twice rejected planning applications but the application was called in by the government and the final decision is expected soon. ยฉ Ron Fassbender
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch addresses a demo against the proposed Chinese embassy in the former Royal Mint in London's financial district. Strangely, she made no mention of the fact that it was Boris Johnson's close aide, Sir Edward Lister, who helped arrange the sale of the historic site to China.
