Subject: On the face of it ...
On the face of it, with all other things being equal, a `need' for (actual) longer detention-without-charge than other countries,
- is a sign of the stupidity of the investigators, or the cruelty of the legislators.
In either case, something the English parliament shouldn't be boasting about.

This holiday season, there are all kinds of expensive
gadgets and gizmos that you can give to family and friends.
But it only takes $42 to provide a student in Uganda with a
nutritious lunch for an entire year.
This season, pledge to support projects that need it the
most: http://go.care2.com/e/w0Qo/rjl3/qMBD
Children who are orphaned due to AIDS are cut off from
critical access to healthcare, education and basic
necessities. But students in a school in Nyakagyezi, Uganda
who have been orphaned due to HIV/AIDS receive free
education, which is funded completely by donations from
people like you.
For these children there is hope, because of people like
you who can provide help to those who need it most. This
holiday season, pledge to give to meaningful projects
around the world:
http://go.care2.com/e/w0Qo/rjl3/qMBD
Make this holiday season a time for giving, in the deepest
sense. Share how you will make the season brighter for
those in need.

Hi Michelle (sorry, lost the mail)
Right, havent checked `business rates' (local UK business taxation) till now, here's -

Business rates explained
Business Rates Relief
- am thinking of adding a little constructive criticism in Tax Page(s) - Those `business rates' are a national disgrace: purposely regressive, wasteful, inefficient and clearly intended to be locally corrupt.

RE: Improve Standards of Animal Welfare in European Laboratories
The European Commission is currently reviewing Directive 86/609/EEC, which sets out the rules for animal experimentation across the whole of Europe. There is still time to make a difference to the final draft.
A new European Chemical Testing Policy called REACH proposes to Test 30,000 Chemicals of every kind - from those used in industrial processes to the ingredients of consumer products - on Millions of animals from mice to fish to dogs, causing untold suffering. This Directive should help
these animals while still improving standards.
The European Commission itself acknowledges that non-animal replacements " ... have the potential to provide robust information through quality-controlled, state-of-the-art tests which are faster and less cost-intensive than classical animal-based tests".
It has launched a Community Action Plan for the Protection and Welfare of Animals. This explicitly states "The final aim is to replace animal experiments with methods not entailing the use of an animal".
It is in all our interest that Animal Testing is replaced with Alternatives based on Human Biology not Animals.
For evidence that superior Alternative Research & Testing is replacing
Animal Testing visit www.drhadwentrust.org/
Please sign "Replace all Animal Experiments in Europe" www.endeuanimaltests.org/
Now political pressure is needed to encourage EU legislators to do
everything they can to maximise non-animal replacement efforts.
Contact your MEPs and urge them to use the revision process of Directive
86/609/EEC as an opportunity to improve the Standards of Animal Welfare in
European Laboratories and make replacing with Alternatives a priority.
For contact details of your MEPs visit
www.europarl.europa.eu
If you want to do more:-
Over 10,000 primates are used in experiments in Europe every year with the UK being Europe's largest single user followed by France and Germany.
Please write to the European Commission and ask them to ban primate
tests. To help, a prepared letter can be found at www.eceae.org/saveprimates/en/action.html
Please tell your friends and colleagues to do the same.

Dear Ray,
Today, former premier and outspoken opposition leader
Benazir Bhutto was put under house arrest to prevent her
from leading a cross-country caravan to protest the military
rule in Pakistan.
Sign this petition to call for her release:
go.care2.com/e/VasP/qkkz/qMBD==
Bhutto is urging the international community to stop backing
President Musharraf -- who imposed emergency rule on
November 3 -- and "to stop backing the man whose
dictatorship threatens to engulf this nuclear-armed state in
chaos." Nonetheless, President Musharraf vigorously
defended the emergency rule, insisting that it would not
interfere with free and fair elections.
We need to act now. In Pakistan, a prolonged state
of emergency will pave the way for an increase in human
rights abuses, torture and even more arbitrary
detentions and disappearances.
Emergency powers are not above the law.Call on
General Musharaff to put an end to the state of
emergency and to restore constitutional rights:

There have been small pockets of creative individuals throughout history who have changed the face of civilization.
How, we might wonder - at a time when many of us feel the need to have more of a voice in what is happening to the earth and the creatures - can just a handful of creative people have such an impact?
These small groups are in fact part of a long tradition of artist/healers that are not usually powerful in the ordinary ways of wealth, industry or politics, but whose imaginative thoughts change our ideas and move our world.
If not for the people, for the universal knowing.

From: "Rosa D., Care2 Action Alerts"
Dear Ray,
Yesterday, Myanmar's military junta continued a
violent crackdown on its own people. Just a few hours
after the departure of a U.N. envoy, soldiers went
through homes looking for monks, and at least eight
truckloads of prisoners were hauled out of Yangon,
Burma's biggest city.
We cannot let the violence go on.
We need to act now to protect monks, activists and
innocent civilians from further abuses and to support
them in their struggle for freedom:
go.care2.com/e/Teka/opqi/qMBD
Myanmar has an appalling human rights record.
Thousands of political prisoners are detained in
deteriorating prison conditions and the use of child
soldiers, forced labor, and torture are common.
The recent violence has shown the world the extent of
Myanmar's brutal crimes. Urge the United Nations to
take urgent steps to get Myanmar's junta to stop the
crackdown.
Sign this petition and stand with the people of Burma:

From: Campaign for Freedom of Information Subject: FOI courses: Information Commissioner & Tribunal Decisions
Dear Friend,
The Campaign is running a half-day FOI course on 'Information Commissioner & Tribunal Decisions' in London on 1 November 2007, Liverpool on 6 November and Bristol on 8 November 2007.
The course is aimed at those with a good working knowledge of the legislation. It will look at the implications of key decisions from recent months on the main exemptions, public interest test and procedural requirements. It will examine the approach being taken by the Commissioner and Tribunal in part by discussing apparently
similar cases which have reached different outcomes.
For further details download the course leaflet from www.cfoi.org.uk/pdf/decisions_course.pdf

Your work is groundbreaking and will help change the world.
Do you know the meaning of the word Apocalypse? it means to "remove the covers" or "reveal the truth".
take a look at my site some time
www.freedomforall.net
keep up the good work
Matthew
Hi Matthew,
Thanks for that. The modern usage of that `Apocalypse' word is interesting. Why are we made to think that `a revealing' is something fearful?
Similarly our language bosses always use `anarchy' as a synonym for `chaos' - but that's not true. Anarchy simply means `self-rule' - a life free from hierarchy.
I.e. living like the Cathars did, and very successfully, until they were slaughtered by the `establishment'. nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albigensians
Seems the language bosses always try to imply that `freedom' words are `bad'.
BTW - Really like your site, more than just interesting - it's quite inspiring.
Best regards

Hi Ray,
Animals give us so much - loyal companionship, productivity in work situations and insights into the beauty and mystery of nature. That's why it's so hard to fathom how animal cruelty could be so shockingly prevalent - both in the U.S. and the rest of the world.
Support a world where animal welfare matters, and animal cruelty ends >>
http://go.care2.com/e/sc8A/m1ju/qMBD
All animals should be free to live their lives free from misery. But they struggle in a world that is often indifferent.
The illegal and inhumane trade in wildlife and wildlife parts is a soaring black market worth $10 billion a year. An estimated 80 percent of the world's cats and dogs are unwanted and suffer from hunger, disease, neglect and persecution as pests. And, though seldom considered, animals are also affected to an enormous degree by disasters, both natural and human-caused.
A global problem requires a global solution. Take Action!
http://go.care2.com/e/sc8A/m1ju/qMBD
The road toward better animal welfare is through cooperation, information and a strong international commitment.
Urge the United Nations to adopt a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare >>
http://go.care2.com/e/sc8A/m1ju/qMBD
A Universal Declaration by the UN would:
- Recognize animals as sentient beings, capable of suffering and experiencing pain.
- Recognize that animal welfare is an issue of importance as a part of the social development of nations.
- Act as a catalyst for better animal welfare provisions worldwide.
The declaration would have a real, long-term impact on the welfare of billions of animals worldwide! Your signature will be one more toward the goal of 10 million signatures on the "Animals Matter to Me" petition. Sign now!

To: All European Citizens Who Care
This is a critical time. The European Commission (EC) is currently
revising the law - known as Directive 86/609 - that governs animal
experiments across Europe.
86/609 is a hugely powerful Directive that has power of life and death
over millions of animals across the continent - setting out minimum
standards for how and whether animals can be used in experiments.
A staggering ten million animals are used in outdated and wasteful
experiments in European laboratories every year. The Directive is supposed
to ensure "the protection of animals used for experimental and other
scientific purposes" but the huge numbers show that it's just not doing
that.
There is a real possibility that with enough support the EC will ban all
primate tests as part of the revised law.
Written Declaration 40/2007 urges the European Parliament to use the
revision process of Directive 86/609/EC as an opportunity to establish a
timetable for replacing the use of all primates in scientific experiments
with alternatives.
If you care about animals visit the following website to urge them to sign
Written Declaration 40/2007.
www.navs.org.uk/take_action/39/0/885/
This is Urgent. The Declaration will fall on 7th September and the
signatures of half the MEPs in the Parliament is needed by then.
If you want to do more:-
Please write to the European Commission and ask them to ban primate tests.
To help, a prepared letter can be found at
www.eceae.org/saveprimates/en/action.html
The address is:-
Mr. Stavros Dimas
