Press release: Entire Peace News staff resign in protest over 'tidal wave of intimidation, harassment and threats' from parent company. Question-mark over future of eighty-eight-year-old peace movement paper: https://peacenews.info/blog/2024/entire-peace-news-staff-resign-protest-over-tidal-wave-intimidation-harassment-and
I am heartbroken to hear of the situation that has lead to the resignations at @peace_news.
PN has been a constant presence and inspiration for all our years, from PN seller David Lane's support in 1984, thru catering 9 PN Camps, to the #Veggies40Years interview in the latest PNIt comes as no surprise that the House emptied just hours after the judge announced the publication of the phase 2 report.
It shows how many of those within the political elite are a part of the disregard, indifference and incompetence that contributed to the deaths of our 72.Local school children from @MellersPrimary were among the first to explore the green heart area, learning about the types of native trees planted as well as the plants that have been added to attract bees and other wildlife 🌳🌿

- Plenary Lecture : “Photographing and Documenting Counter-Cultural Culture” Uni of Porto 10 July 2024
An ongoing diary of stuff, allsorts, and things wot happen ……
I am a photographer with a special interest to document the lives of travelling people and those attending Festivals, Stonehenge etc, what the press often describe as ‘New Age Travellers’ and many social concerns.
With my photography, I have tried to say something of the wide variety of people engaged in ‘Alternatives’, and youths’ many sub-cultures and to present a more positive view.
I have photographed many free and commercial events and have, in recent years, extended my work to include dance parties (’rave culture’), gay-rights events, environmental direct actions, and protest against the Criminal Justice Act and more recently, issues surrounding the Global Capitalism.
Further, police surveillance has recently become a very important subject for me!
In recognition of this work, received a ‘Winston’ from Privacy International, at the 1998 ‘Big Brother’ Awards. The citation reads: “Alan Lodge is a photographer who has spent more than a decade raising awareness of front-line police surveillance activities, particularly the endemic practice of photographing demonstrators and activists”.
I am based in Nottingham, UK.
Quotes & Thoughts
“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’ But, conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.”
Martin Luther King Jr.“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.
In Switzerland they had brotherly love – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!!”
Harry Lime [Orsen Wells] The Third Man 1949“Civilization will not attain to its perfection, until the last stone from the last church, falls on the last priest.”
Emile Zola“….I have an important message to deliver to all the cute people all over the world.
If you’re out there and you’re not cute, maybe you’re beautiful, I just want to tell you somethin’- there’s more of us ugly mother-fuckers than you are, hey-y, so watch out now…”
Frank Zappa
