No - New Coal
No - Heathrow / Aviation expansion
No to Agrofuels


Yes to renewable energy, energy efficiency, low carbon transport, deep and rapid emission cuts, green jobs.

The National Climate march is going to be a big mobilisation of people concerned about our climate. There is a meeting on 4th October 2008 in London to plan for the demo as well as the year ahead.

Venue: Room G2 in SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies), London. SOAS is off Thornhaugh street, off Russel Square – otherwise approachable from the other side from Malet street.

Nearest tube : Russel Square. G2 is in the main building where the Students Union is, up the stairs from the central courtyard.

Date and Time: London, Saturday 4th October, 11.00 am to 5.00 pm

The meeting is organized by the Campaign Against Climate Change who announced in a recent email:

"The National Climate March on December 6th is also part of a Global Day of Action on climate – last year more than 70 countries were involved. Help us build this international campaign still bigger- both for the Poznan Climate Talks this year and the all important Copenhagen 2009 Talks next year.

As well as joining other countries around the world to demand urgent action and climate justice from world leaders the National Climate March will be pushing 3 major issue/demands to the government

No New Coal

No Heathrow / Aviation expansion

No to Agrofuels

While these negatives are balanced by a positive

Yes to renewable energy, energy efficiency, low carbon transport, deep and rapid emission cuts, green jobs..."

UFOs Over London

If you see something flying in the sky and you don’t know what it is, then it’s quite legitimate to call it a UFO – an unidentified flying object.



About 15 UFO’s were seen over London on Thursday 1st February 2007 (See above) It is reported some 40 people saw them and someone had a video camera.

On the Islington Gazette’s web site Alix McAlister, 34, a market stall trader from Archway gave this description:

"They were coming from the north and moving south. And then they kind of stopped and they were hovering. There was no sound. They seemed to fade away and I saw more coming and then they stopped. It lasted about 10 minutes."

And then there’s Tom Cull, of Summerlee Gardens, Fortis Green, 27, who had just finished a guitar lesson when he noticed a crowd of people staring up at the sky in Magdala Avenue.

He said: "There were at least 30 people watching. Cars had stopped. It was kind of eerie.

"What I found strange about these things was the way they moved. The fact that they were so high would suggest they were quite big."

You can read the full report and more importantly see the video at the Islington Gazette web site.

There have been quite a few reports of UFO activity over the past couple of months.

The most interesting one was last year when many employees of O'Hare Airport in Chicago came forward and described a round gray object hovering just below cloud level around 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 7.

But this is the weird thing as the Exponent Online points out … “These employees are well-trained mechanics, managers and pilots whose main motivation for reporting the sighting was the safety of airline passengers. But even after such a large amount of people risked their livelihoods and reputations to report a UFO, nobody has taken them seriously.”

Government fails to look into O’Hare UFO
