The House of Lords has recently altered a section of a Government Bill that would have allowed trade unions to expel BNP members and other fascists from their ranks.

Under the revised Bill, trade unions will not only find it more difficult to remove fascists but individual BNP members will actually be aff
Chafing at ties between American intelligence agencies and Ecuadorean military officials, President Rafael Correa is purging the armed forces of top commanders and pressing ahead with plans to cast out more than 100 members of the American military from an air base here in this coastal city. Mr. Correa — who this month dismissed his defense minister, army chief of intelligence and commanders of the army, air force and joint chiefs — said that Ecuador's intelligence systems were "totally infiltrated and subjugated to the C.I.A." He accused senior military officials of sharing intelligence with Colombia, the Bush administration's top ally in Latin America.

Thanks to Lancaster UAFIn a move that is so full of irony that the BNP had better check it for rust, news is emerging that Mike Easter, election agent to leadership-challenger Chris Jackson, is to be disciplined for late submission of the challenger's election expenses to the party treasurer.One would expect a party that is a couple of months late with its own accounts submission to the Electoral Commission to have had more sense that to make itself a target for ridicule in this way but Nick Griffin is presumably so anxious to punish those who assisted the challenger that he is prepared to ignore the laughs to get his revenge.Regular readers will no doubt recall his description of Chris Jackson's supporters as cranks, Hollywood Nazis, congenital losers, thieves and vermin - and all this in a single blog post - despite the fact that they included five founder-members, two advisory council members, three councillors, eight branch organisers and 20 election candidates. Not a great deal

Ehud Olmert continues to anger many ends of the Israeli spectrum, including the black Ethiopian community:Some 200 Ethiopian Israelis demonstrated in Jerusalem on Monday to protest discrimination by government agencies. Clashes with police left eleven people injured, including four police officers.The protestors, led by religious leaders from the Ethiopian community, marched from the Jerusalem Convention Center to the government compound and began a sit-in on the road at the entrance to Jerusalem.The demonstration turned ugly when police cavalry came to disperse the crowd. One mounted police officer used his horse to trample a protestor. A driver who was unable to bypass the demonstration turned and drove straight into the crowd, injuring another person. The cavalry officer was not identified and the driver was not arrested, according to the Haaretz news service.Eyewitnesses at the demonstration said neither the police officers on foot nor those mounted on horses displayed any identifi
