Keir Starmer's pledge to end new HIV cases by 2030 glosses over a crucial truth: it is immigration, not just health, that is driving up HIV infections in the UK, says Nick Rendell.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7in solidarity with adam!
Sad to hear that he is in jail although i know he expected it, it is terrible that protesters who are trying to disarm the weapons of mass destruction of the blairite regime are subjected to such an abuse of liberty.
well done Adam for standing firm!
see you soon.
What's the point in going to jail for this? It's not going to acheive anything like mainstream media coverage or heightened awareness of the issue. The point of principle about paying a fine to the state for something that you don't believe is wrong is fine, but in truth that state appropriates lots of money off us all the time involuntarily through taxation, so the principle has already been conceded long ago. To my mind it just comes down to devaluing your freedom. £24 a day for freedom - cheap at 10 times the price if you ask me.
you can't put money value on freedom, the fact that comrade is going toi jail for refusing to pay a fine to the state shows how limited our freedoms are under capitalist "democracy".
ive never met that comrade who is going to jail but i can only offer my solidarity and sympathy with his plight. and like the poster above recognise his commitment and strength of will to not be cowed by the state.
can anyone tell me an email address to send my solidarity to so he will get it?
thank you
You can send messages of solidarity via email to Adam at the address above.
soon enough they will be asking you to pay for it on top of everything else
Well done in the spirit of Vanunu - Nukes out of Britain and everywhere else
Yesterday (13th September) two peace activists were fined in Helensburgh District Court for carrying out a weapons inspection at a British nuclear warhead store.
Jane Tallents (46), from Helensburgh, and Adam Conway (25), from Northumberland, were fined respectively £150 and £120 for cutting the perimeter fence at the Coulport nuclear weapon depot on Loch Long in Scotland in August last year.
Jane explained to the court that she and Adam had been attempting a citizen’s weapons inspection of the WMD base, and that their authorisation to do so came from the UN through its nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty. This was not a symbolic gesture since evidence from citizen’s inspections like theirs was regularly presented to NPT conferences. Her action at Coulport had come after many attempts to report the presence of nuclear weapons at Coulport, including submitting a complaint to the police.
Adam, who was in Greenock Prison last week for refusing to pay a fine for a previous anti-Trident action, reminded the court that Britain was the only country in recent years which had specifically threatened to use nuclear weapons. He wanted to draw attention to this and to double standards about WMD. It was apparently alright to kill thousands of people in order to respond to a WMD threat as in Iraq, but those who intervened peacefully and nonviolently in this country were arrested. The charge against him referred to malicious damage, but there had been nothing malicious in his actions, which were deliberate and considered.
