?Mission-Driven? Government is the Antithesis of Liberty Tue Jul 23, 2024 17:30 | Dr David McGrogan
Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

Bradley Manning Solidarity Sat July 27th. events
http://tinyurl.com/mytw23n
London (1)
Where and when
St Martin in the Fields, London, WC2N 4JJ (Trafalgar Square) 14:00 – 16:00.
Description
Vigil called by Payday Men’s Network. All welcome. Contact Giorgio via payday@paydaynet.org
London (2)
Where and when
Amnesty International office - 1 Easton St, London, WC1X 0DW (Clerkenwell) 16:00 – 18:00.
Description
Peaceful vigil. Supporters of Bradley gathering to continue pressure on AI to give public support to Bradley, including prisoner of conscience status.
It is worth noting the three recent statements issued by Amnesty – at the start of the trial, after the prosecution case on ‘Aiding the Enemy charge‘ and on this week’s ruling not to dismiss ’Aiding the Enemy’, which they described as a ‘travesty of justice’.
Alongside comments made here by Widney Brown, senior director of international law and policy for AI, it appears that the recent, concerted and continuing attempts to force AI to speak up are having an effect, and people are working hard to obtain a bolder stance from them.
London (3)
(handily timed after the above – can you make all three?!)
Where and when
Calder Bookshop and Theatre – 51 The Cut, London, SE1 8LF (Waterloo). 19:00 -21:00.
Description
Readings, poetry and open mic. This will include a reading of the Bradley Manning: ‘In His Own Words’ script adapted by Lindi from the chat log extracts, and other poetry associated with Brad. Contact Sergio at Calder Bookshop and Theatre.

Journalists and bloggers covering closing arguments in the military trial of Wikileaks source Bradley Manning are reporting a far more intense security climate at Ft. Meade today, as compared to the past two months of court proceedings. @carwinb, @kgosztola, @nathanLfuller, and @wikileakstruck have tweeted about armed guards standing behind them as they type into laptops in the designated press area, and extensive physical searches.
I visited the trial two weeks ago, and while there were many restrictions I found surprising (no mobile devices allowed in the press room), it wasn't this bad. Tweets from some of them are below; there are about 40-50 reporters present and not all are tweeting. Internet access is spotty today. Oh, wait; as I type this blog post, I'm now seeing updates that they're being told they are not allowed to access Twitter. So there's that.
REPORT CONTINUED....

We will start to gather from 2pm at Giuseppe Conlon Hall. There will be audiovisuals rolling
around the room of some of the last 3 years of Bradley Manning solidarity in London.
There will be an opportunity to chat and network during this time.
Here's a taster of some of the solidarity vids.....

and then head to the Beaconsfield Pub on Green Lanes, Harringay.
