specializes in lobsters and cuttlefish and this morning they had 55 lobsters,
a few crabs and cuttlefish in their pots. They catch enough to make a living

The Coalition Government has proposed and implemented dramatic cuts in the
public sector, raising student fees to £9.000/year and taken away funding
for Arts and Humanities. Sotheby's is a world renowned auction house and it
was targeted for selling of art for millions of pounds when artists and art
students were facing severe financial difficulties because of a financial crisis
brought on by the wealthy and private financial sector.
This short film is of one of many protests during the winter 2010-11.

Ahead of another big student march, students from mainly Humanities and Arts
gathered at British Museum to re-claim a public space and held a short work shop
in drawing. All went peaceful and in spite the anger at Government cuts in
education it was full of joy.
This is a short film from beginning till end of the action.

On the eve of May 20th philosophy students and professors staged a sit-in in the
university library in protest against the proposed closure of
the Philosophy
Department. Students and members of staff had previously
occupied the main admin
building and this sit-in was another attempt to make
the management at Middlesex
University listen to their demands for a reassessment of the proposed closure.
The same day the occupation ended, the management suspended several students
and members of staff,all without any hearing. The suspension were later upheld at a
hearing the following Friday.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 took place in Copenhagen
07-20 December. The conference was held in Bella Center and was attended
by 15.000 people including UN delegates, UN observers,members of Civil Society,
world leaders and media representatives from all over the planet. A further 10.000
activists took up parallel talks and direct actions across the city. After 2 weeks
of talks it became clear that the fair,ambitious and legally binding agreement
which many of the Majority World and members of the Small Island States and
NGOs were demanding was not going to be realized. In the final hours the
Copenhagen Accord was drafted by the US, China, India, Brazil and South Africa.
The accord was "recognised" but not "agreed upon" the following day by all
participating countries but was never passed. The Danish Accord recognized that
climate change is a serious issue which must be addressed with serious actions
but it did not specify which and it the accord was not legally binding.
Most of the Majority World and NGOs were very disappointed where as
most of the Anex1 countries were very pleased with the outcome of the COP15.
The Summit had been billed as the last chance to save the climate and planet
but it wasn't going to happen this time.
