Postman Patch

Posting has been pretty patchy over the past few weeks, for which I apologise. Hopefully in the coming days I will rectify that state of affairs, although I wouldn't count on it. I'm travelling over the weekend, so I make no promises. But for now, some brief comments...

You may, or may not, be interested to hear that I will henceforth be posting on an aditional blog. The Peace Pipe (provisionally available here, although the address may change) is the 'official' blog of Nottingham Student Peace Movement. I will occasionally post there in my usual, inimitable style, as will others. Expect comments to be a little less wide-ranging, focused more on issues affecting the Peace Movement and probably a little less controversial. You won't, for instance, get any, "The Countryside Alliance are fascists!" type posts. I'll reserve all that stuff for here.

In other news I'd like to draw your attention to a new discussion group established for students interested in the plight of the Chagossians, forced from their homes by the British Government to make way for a US military base on the island of Diego Garcia. If you're a student, please think about joining up and if you know someone who is and might be interested, tell them about it. Thanks.
