- The network "No one is illegal" acknowledges no national borders, except as a political idea, in which we have no moral obligation or interest in accepting or upholding. A person born in one place has no greater rights to it than anyone else. This must not end as a vision, but must be practised. We do not recognize the rights of states, orginisations or individuals to limit peoples movement across borders or label this ”illegal” migration.
To us the right to free movement is inseparable from the right to take part in the social life under equal conditions. Until national borders are erased, we work towards giving all people inside a states borders the same social, political and economic rights and obligations. We oppose all political attempts to use immigration and migration as a weapon to undermine salary levels and social safety net inside a states borders, for example: recently immigrants were forced to work in the country under worse conditions than the rest of the population.

This news just in from DJ Sir Real himself: Howdy music lovers, five shows in now of the Mouth of God’s journey into the unknown, and going strong…presented by DJ Sir Real…with, as you might expect, a fine selection of wrongness, weirdness, beauty, cosmic anthems, fucked up disco, mutant techno, funny talk and hoo-haa…
I would be very chuffed indeed if some of you would like to join me for the journey…and please feel free to circulate far and wide to spread the wrongness :-)
Go to http://www.musicworldradio.com to listen…
You might also want to have a look at Club Impulse in Second Life for some chat and flying and stupid dancing and ill-advised clothes (and possibly popes & daleks & other assorted oddness)…I will be presenting the show simultaneously from there…you can check that out here – http://secondlife.com/?v=1.1 – or follow the link from the MWR homepage.
So that’s tonight, Tuesday 27th April, starting at 10pm GMT…
See ya in the ether :-) Neil x
