Breaking News - The Bohemia Pub in North Finchley reopened by Occupy as a community project

Many local residents in the North Finchley neighbourhood were extremely upset when the much loved local pub, The Bohemia was closed following a rent increase. The building has sat looking rather sad and sorry ever since. The Barnet Eye was called this morning and notified that the Occupy movement has taken over the building and are opening a community project at the site. They have requested that locals offer their support and bring tea, coffee, foodstuffs and anything else suitable for the project.

The Barnet Eye will be visiting the site later today for a full update. The Occupy movement have targetted Finchley for special attention due to local MP Mike Freer being a sponsor of the anti squatting legislation. They have publicly stated that their campaign against homelessness will focus on Mike Freers constituency in Finchley and Golders Green. Many local people are well inclined towards Phoenix and the other Friern Barnet Library occupiers, who helped save the much loved local treasure. The Barnet Eye sincerely hopes that the occupation of The Bohemia can have another suitably good outcome for the local community. 99% is ....... The Barnet Eye

Yes: here we go again. 

Back to the fabled fault line of North Finchley high road, the place that acts as a powerhouse of rebellion, here in Broken Barnet. And back to one particular form of rebellion that has worked so successfully here - the occupation and reclamation of a much loved community asset.

The Antic Bohemia is, or was, and hopefully will be again, an indy pub in the centre of North Finchley, a fabulous venue, dark and cavernous, furnished in idiosyncratic shabby chic style, with mismatched furniture, long wooden trestle tables, old school chairs, scruffy sofas with sagging upholstery, lit by vintage chandeliers and 1930s lampshades. It had a unique atmosphere, and had become established as not just another pub, more of a meeting place for friends and local groups, and a venue for the odd performance and musical events. .....

BARNET TODAY | NEWS | Friern Barnet Library squatters take over The Bohemia | 2013

SQUATTERS who reopened Friern Barnet Library last year have occupied a much-loved community pub in North Finchley, that closed without warning earlier this year.

Residents were furious when The Bohemia, in High Road, closed in August, the day before it had been due to celebrate its one year anniversary, following a row between the building’s owners, and its tenants.

A petition calling for it to be preserved as a community pub has so far attracted nearly 1,000 signatures.

Activists last night moved into the abandoned boozer, stating their intention to reopen the building as a “community hub”.

Last year the same group staged an occupation and reopening of the axed Friern Barnet Library in Friern Barnet Lane. The council has since handed nine residents a two-year lease to use the building as a community library

On The Bohemia, Phoenix Rainbow, a key member of last year’s library occupation, said: “This pub wasn’t just a pub, this was a community pub and that is what it should be.

BARNET TODAY | NEWS | Closed 'community' pub occupied | 2013

SQUATTERS have taken up residence in a much-loved community pub which closed its doors to the public last month.

The Bohemia in High Road, North Finchley, was managed by Gregarious Limited until August 16 when the landlord, pub chain Mitchells and Butlers, refused to grant a permanent lease.

The squatters, who include some of the occupiers who took over Friern Barnet Library last year, moved in on Thursday night and say they will reopen the pub on Monday as a “community hub”. This morning North Finchley traders have been rallying around the group donating food, hot drinks and other supplies

Before it closed last month the pub regularly hosted events, including knitting clubs, film nights, live music and stand-up comedy.

Jason's funeral and beutifull Maori saying

Jason's funeral will be held at Golders Green Crematorium, Hoop Lane, London NW11 7NL, in the West Chapel, at 12 noon on Saturday 28th September, followed by a reception at Birkbeck, University of London, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HX, in the George Birkbeck Student Union Bar, where he spent many - mostly teetotal - hours.

There are parking spaces along Hoop Lane, outside the crematorium, which is close to Golders Green underground and coach station. Birkbeck is an easy tube ride straight down the Northern Line, but parking there is more difficult: I would suggest that anyone driving in leave their car outside the crematorium.

Jason had very specific requirements for how he wished his life to celebrated and remembered, including that everyone sing Po Atarau, the words of which are printed below. He also specifically requested no flowers (other than one spray on the coffin, which I will make): donations to Macmillan Cancer Support instead please.

Please make sure that these details are passed to everyone who knew Jason and request them to let me know through the wonders of Facebook if they will or are likely to attend, so that I have some idea of numbers for catering. I you wish to say something at the reception, whether a formal speech or a less-structured anecdote, please let me know.

Po atarau
E moea iho nei
E haere ana
Koe ki pamamao
Haere ra;
Ka hoki mai ano;
Ki i te tau
E tangi atu nei

Protests at Arms Dealers’ Charity Dinner – report and pics - UK Indymedia

 
 At around 6.30, a bicycle sound system and about ten cyclists rode up the Commercial Road, at the end of their journey from the Bank of England to the ‘Troxy’ venue near Limehouse, where arms dealers from this year’s DSEI arms fair were holding their end of fair dinner with tables at £2500 each for food, drinks and a boxing tournament, organised to raise money for wounded soldiers – the irony!

At the same time, just as guests began to arrive, two women took up position at the front of the short red-rope walkway to the entrance. They held up their hands, stained red to symbolise blood, and stood completely silent, as police approached and asked them to move.

After a few more minutes, some more protestors approached, quickly blocking the entrance and sitting with a banner bearing the words, “Arms Dealers Here Today – This Is Not OK”. One also lay down in a body bag and gas mask.

Broken Barnet: A beautiful thing to see: the library that lived, one year on

 

It was with great pleasure that Mrs Angry returned to Friern Barnet Library - the Peoples' Library - on Thursday night, to celebrate the anniversary of the occupation which saved its life, and led to its re-opening as a community library, and to attend the launch of a book, 'Occupied and Opened',  written by Rosie Canning and telling the story of the saving of the library from the different perspectives of those involved.

 
 The library was packed with familiar faces as Mrs A arrived, and some new ones too. Occupier Phoenix introduced her to Richard Stein, the lawyer from Leigh Day, who represented occupiers and residents when the council tried to evict them. He has been involved in some immensely important public interest cases: the campaign to save Lewisham Hospital, the challenge to the Bedroom Tax, UKUncut's challenge to Goldman Sachs' tax deal with HMRC ... 

Phoenix

He reminded the audience of the origins of present day squatting, when members of the armed forces returned from fighting in the second world war, and found a chronic shortage of housing obliged them to take possession of vacant properties. These days it is estimated that 20-50 thousand people live in squats.

He clearly holds a great affection for the friends he made from the occupation of Friern Barnet Library: something which, as he observed, 'brought together such community: a beautiful thing to see ...' 

Mrs Angry thought back to the evening, a year ago, when she knocked on the gate at the back of the newly occupied library, and found Phoenix eyeing her warily over the fence ... see here:

http://wwwbrokenbarnet.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/a-very-british-squat-friern-barnet.html

Mrs Angry has a lot of respect for Phoenix, in fact: in world of moral compromise, and worse, he is an inspiring example of resistance, optimism, tolerance and good humour. Ok, yes: I'm trying to avoid referring to him again as Occupy's movement to Mary Poppins, which caused him some amusement. But he is a charismatic, energising force of nature, obstinately and perhaps naively loyal to his own ideals, and yet a shrewd strategist, and wily campaigner. 

He referred to the recent criminalisation of squatting, in residential buildings, a move proudly promoted by Tory MPs Mike Weatherley - and our own homegrown easycouncil guru Mike Freer, (whose name provoked a certain amount of jeering, in contrast to a large amount of cheering for new Labour candidate Sarah Sackman, the barrister who represented the library in the court case). 

Freer's rather surprising efforts on behalf of the anti-squatting legislation were driven by his anger over Libyan protesters who occupied the £11 million mansion owned by the Gaddafi family in Hampstead Garden Suburb.

Some of Freer's local Conservative supporters live in similar splendour in the Suburb, of course, like Mr Chaim Zabludowicz, whose family's immense wealth is based on arms manufacture and trading. Such residents fear for the safety of their properties, when vacant,  and must be thankful for the efforts of their MP.

You might be forgiven for thinking such concern was grossly misplaced, and prefer to see your MP act on behalf of his less advantaged constituents. Still, this week, he did turn his attention to such issues: stating in a debate in parliament that he has found on visits to job centres that both claimants and front-line staff are 'enthusiastic' about universal credit ...

Both MPs like to present squatting and occupation as inherently anti-social, morally repugnant - although Weatherley was exposed this week in this Political Scrapbook story, as, at least temporarily, moderating his views somewhat when given the opportunity to visit community squats and see for himself the benefits of such arrangements. 

Mrs Angry would suggest that what is really morally repugnant are the socially divisive policies of this government, and those that support them, actions that are driving the most vulnerable members of our society to despair, while community activists like Phoenix and his fellow occupiers are by contrast virtuous, honourable, and entirely vindicated by outcomes like the reclaiming of the People's Library.

Full story and chapters read by 12 contributors summed up by the legendary Barnet Blogger Mrs Angry.
If your not Angry with whats going on in the world ,and the slaughter and privatisation of our public services your not paying attention....as the old saying goes........keep it up Mrs Angry.......check out her blog on the privatisation of most of the Barnet local council depts to Capita,which a judge agreed was wrong in a Judicial review,but said nothing could be done as the application was put in a day or so late.
ThisTory  flagship programme of selling off council departments to private for profit companies will soon be rolled out to other councils around the country....Crapitasiation.

Feasta | The Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability

Background
Feasta was launched in Dublin in October 1998 to explore the economic, cultural and environmental characteristics of a truly sustainable society, and to disseminate the results of this exploration to the widest relevant audience.
The position Feasta has adopted is that many of the world’s problems are caused not by bad people but by dysfunctional systems and it sees its purpose as designing better systems. For example, the economic system demands continual growth if it is not to collapse into a catastrophic depression, and this leaves politicians with little alternative but to pursue short-term economic growth more-or-less regardless of the damage that that pursuit might be doing to longer-term environmental and social sustainability.
Feasta has spent a lot of time examining the reasons for this growth compulsion to see if an economic system can be devised without it. Feasta has also looked at money systems, agricultural systems, carbon systems, energy systems, taxation systems, rationing systems, land tenure systems and democratic systems and come up with ideas for these.

A World to Win | No to corporate power - Yes to peoples power

 

People’s Assemblies –
the future shape of democracy

The global political elites have turned democracy into a commodity and sold it to the corporations and banks for a small fee. Our votes now count for very little despite the great struggles of the past to win the franchise and give people a say in elections.
Whoever is in power will do what the financial markets, the major corporates and the International Monetary Fund say. That is why the burden of the economic crisis of capitalism is imposed on ordinary people with wage cuts, lower pensions, unemployment and the loss of vital services.
So we should create a new political and economic system, one that is actually responsive to the needs of the majority and not the minority whose only interests are profits and large bonuses.
People’s Assemblies are the new shape of democracy, and the vehicle for going forward to the stage of challenging the authority of governments to bring ruin on people and, ultimately, replacing them and the system they serve.

'CIA fabricated evidence to lure US into war with Syria' — RT Op-Edge

 

The intelligence gathered against Syria’s Assad was manufactured by elements within the spy community in order to mislead the US President to take punitive action, Ray McGovern, a veteran CIA analyst, told RT.
McGovern was among the signatories to the letter from veteran intelligence professionals to Obama, warning the US president that Assad is not responsible for the chemical attack, and that “CIA Director John Brennan is perpetrating a pre-Iraq-War-type fraud on members of Congress, the media, [and] the public.”

India's Incredibly Powerful "Abused Goddesses" Campaign Condemns Domestic Violence

India's Incredibly Powerful "Abused Goddesses" Campaign Condemns Domestic Violence

The campaign simply and effectively captures India’s most dangerous contradiction: that of revering women in religion and mythology, while the nation remains incredibly unsafe for its women citizens.

100 million Indians, largely women and girls, are said to be involved in trafficking.

Last year alone, 244,270 crimes against women were reported in the country.

Obama torn to shreds by Fox News over Syria. Seriously A Must Watch

Wow whats going on, isn't Fox News usually drumming up support  for these illegal wars.
Seems like the Obama administration is facing a revolt from the American people,Congress and the Media moguls.As well as decreasing supporet internationally.
This presenter rips into Obama and the faltering attempt to push us into another illegal war.
The clip even acknowledges International law,and gets Putin to explain UN rules on wars of aggression.
Seems like the tide of change is beginning to flood the warmongers bunkers.
A good thing to, cos if your watching the military build up, Russia and China now have ships close to Syria and Iran is preparing counter strikes,unless we all de escalate this spark could turn into an international inferno.
Peace not War, lets put our resources into repairing the planet and creating a peace full future. -Phoenix

National Service Bill (HC Bill 32)

National Service Bill (HC Bill 32)

Just as Army recruitment figures are drastically falling, something to boost the canon fodder department of war for the illegal wars on Syria and Iran.
Dont be fooled with a bit of social help options, if your young and poor its the back door to the war machine.
National Service ended in the 1950s after ww2, some Tory Ministers obviously want to take us back to the 50s.

200+ arrests @ anti EDL demo yesterday unreported by media......

200+ arrests @ anti EDL demo yesterday

@ | 08.09.2013 12:40

Unreported by the media....

For those of you not on Facebook, Twitter etc, 200+ anti fascists got kettled and mass arrested onto buses yesterday during the counter-EDL demo in Tower Hamlets. This went completely unreported by the mainstream news, UAF etc. For sources, see for example GBC Legal:  https://twitter.com/GBCLegal or South London AF:  https://twitter.com/SouthLondonAF for news. 

Arrestees were kept on buses for many hours and were taken to stations all over London, as far south as Sutton and Croydon, where they were met throughout the night by much solidarity in the form of beer, chocolate and hugs. 

This follows similar mass arrests of 58 anti-BNP activists in June. Now, as then, most arrestees have been given bail conditions not to participate in demos against the EDL, BNP or EVF within the boundaries of the M25. 

Quite a few cases from the June arrests have now been dropped. The pre-booked London buses (in one case at least, driven by a guy in an Arriva shirt), blatantly discriminatory policing, and identical bail conditions show policing of EDL demos in recent times has been increasingly about removing the opposition. 

Got to  http://londonantifascists.wordpress.com/ or other grassroots anti fash sites for reports soon to come no doubt.

These False Flags Were Used To Start A War - BlackListedNews.com

 Below is a partial list of some of the documented “false flag” events that were intended and/or served to start a war in recent and not so recent history.

These False Flags Were Used To Start A War - BlackListedNews.com

US Attack On Syria Violates International Law

High-Level U.S. Intelligence Officers: Syrian Government Didn’t Launch Chemical Weapons - BlackListedNews.com

 

High-Level U.S. Intelligence Officers: Syrian Government Didn’t Launch Chemical Weapons - BlackListedNews.com

Very interesting reading, this blacklisted news should be networked.
It shows that many intelligence agencies know that the chemical attack is a false flag operation.
We are once again being manipulated into an Illegal War.
The power of the internet means we can network and spread this info, to defeat the warmongers and military industrial complex that wants to lock us into an ongoing permanent war.

Some good quotes

U.S. intelligence officials are not so certain that the suspected chemical attack was carried out on Assad’s orders, or even completely sure it was carried out by government forces, the officials said.

 Indeed, numerous intelligence officers say that the rebels likely carried out the August 21st attack.

 The Obama administration has selectively used intelligence to justify military strikes on Syria, former military officers with access to the original intelligence reports say, in a manner that goes far beyond what critics charged the Bush administration of doing in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq war.
According to these officers, who served in top positions in the United States, Britain, France, Israel, and Jordan, a Syrian military communication intercepted by Israel’s famed Unit 8200 electronic intelligence outfit has been doctored so that it leads a reader to just the opposite conclusion reached by the original report.

The doctored report was picked up on Israel’s Channel 2 TV  on Aug. 24, then by Focus magazine in Germany, the Times of Israel, and eventually by The Cable  in Washington, DC.
According to the doctored report, the chemical attack was carried out by the 155th Brigade of the 4th Armored Division of the Syrian Army, an elite unit commanded by Maher al-Assad, the president’s brother.
However, the original communication intercepted by Unit 8200 between a major in command of the rocket troops assigned to the 155th Brigade of the 4th Armored Division, and the general staff, shows just the opposite.
The general staff officer asked the major if he was responsible for the chemical weapons attack. From the tone of the conversation, it was clear that “the Syrian general staff were out of their minds with panic that an unauthorized strike had been launched by the 155th Brigade in express defiance of their instructions,” the former officers say.
According to the transcript of the original Unit 8200 report, the major “hotly denied firing any of his missiles” and invited the general staff to come and verify that all his weapons were present.
The report contains a note at the end that the major was interrogated by Syrian intelligence for three days, then returned to command of his unit. “All of his weapons were accounted for,” the report stated.
***
An Egyptian intelligence report describes a meeting in Turkey between military intelligence officials from Turkey and Qatar and Syrian rebels. One of the participants states, “there will be a game changing event on August 21st” that will “bring the U.S. into a bombing campaign” against the Syrian regime.
The chemical weapons strike on Moudhamiya, an area under rebel control, took place on August 21. “Egyptian military intelligence insists it was a combined Turkish/Qatar/rebel  false flag operation,” said a source familiar with the report.
[A "false flag" is a ploy for starting war which has been used by governments around the world for thousands of years.]

BBC News - Computer program uses Twitter to 'map mood of nation'

 

British scientists have developed a computer program they say can map the mood of the nation using Twitter.

Named Emotive, it works by accessing the emotional content of postings on the social networking site.
The team, from Loughborough University, say it can scan up to 2,000 tweets a second and rate them for expressions of one of eight human emotions.
They claim Emotive could help calm civil unrest and identify early threats to public safety.
