  • The BNP’s message of hate is being spread across the country by a small but dedicated band of racist activists.

    But now, a commercial media organisation is seeking to financially profit from the BNP’s campaign. Clear Channel – one of the UK’s largest poster and billboard companies, that has a close relationship with Music and it’s promotion – have sold the BNP adverts across the country.

    They have provided the BNP with high profile sites – putting the BNP’s racist message on a pedestal and giving them the oxygen of publicity. In a matter of days these billboards and posters will be spreading across the country. But we can stop them if enough of us complain to Clear Channel and we get them to cancel their contract.

    We have set an easy-to-use page so you can send a letter of complaint – will you send them a message of complaint?

  • Police surveillance of a peaceful protester was ruled unlawful today in a decison that lawyers say will change the way demonstrations and protests are policed.

    Judges ruled that specialist ­surveillance units from the Metropolitan police had breached the human rights of Andrew Wood, an arms trade campaigner, when they photographed him and stored the pictures on a police database.

    One judge said there were ­unresolved civil liberties questions about the way images were taken and retained in "the modern surveillance society". Lord ­Justice Dyson said there were "very serious human rights issues which arise when the state obtains and retains the images of persons who have committed no offence and are not suspected of having ­committed any offence".

    The judgment is a blow to the Met, which has been criticised over the way it polices protests since last month's G20 ­demonstrations and the death of Ian Tomlinson.

  • The background to the 'Gales' homecoming gig was disaster – deportation and unseemly inebriation rendered their prestigious gig at London's 100 Club a disaster – although the venue manager thought it was fantastic and invited them to play any time, despite some punters demanding their money back! Then on Monday they played a live session for Marc Riley on 6 Music and a decent gig in Mankychester.

    But Wolverhampton's what it's all about. On the bill were Violet Violet and Ted Chippington. The Violets of themselves disprove the existence of any kind of deity. It's simple really. They're hugely talented and aesthetically pleasing. A just deity would make talented people ugly, or ugly people talented out of a sense of fairness. A cruel deity would make talented people ugly, or ugly people talented, to punish them for hubris. Ergo, there's no god. They're all-round ace, and I'm neither. Next philosophical problem?

MARKETING FOR CREATIVES …tales from the gaming industry
Creative Networks welcomes Bruce Everiss, who will talk about his experiences in marketing and establishing
two major video game companies, Imagine and Codemasters.

In the digital age, we are all Marketeers and, in the current challenging economic climate, finding innovative
ways to promote and distribute content via new media platforms is all important.

Bruce has been involved with the home computer industry since its start in the late 1970s and his commitment
to the medium has helped to establish the U.K. as one of the world’s most important software producers.
Furthermore, as an internet entrepreneur and marketing expert, he has raised the industry’s profile beyond
the attention of enthusiasts and into the psyche of a much wider audience.

To join us for this FREE event, please email creative.networks@tic.ac.uk or call Dave Taylor on
0121 331 5400. Alternatively, register online at our portal www.creativenetworksonline.com
