The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s (FCO) 2005 Human Rights Annual Report identified 20 ‘major countries of concern’. In 2005, the UK approved arms export licences to 12 of these, including Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Israel. Saudi Arabia has been the focus of UK arms promotion since the fall of the Shah of Iran in 1979, the UK has been Indonesia’s main weapons supplier over the past decade and Israel has received a steady flow of UK arms regardless of the situation in the occupied territories.
Every little helps says Tesco – especially now that they’re planning to reduce the number of plastic bags customers use. This global catastrophe-avoiding scheme will mean that only 75 billion bags will be used by their customers next year. If you’re thinking that 75,000,000,000 placcie bags is still quite a lot, Tesco is quick to point out that the bags will be sunlight-degradable (although not bio-degradable), so no worries there as they sit under mountains of landfill never seeing daylight.
I've been living in a cage in rural England. The cage was a field was a camp site for concerned environmentalists, and had barricaded gates and sentinels inside and out.
Kent Police, Medway Council and other organisations that provide services to you are working together to ensure the camp causes the least disruption possible to your daily lives.
