It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

This week saw a state wide campaign launched in Italy to stop anorexia nervosa the psychological eating condition which overwhelmingly but not exclusively is suffered by women. There have been many campaigns to stop anorexia since the condition first gained prominence just around post-war period when Europeans generally had enough to eat again. But the campaign launched by Oliviero Toscani of Benetton notoriety could just as easily be accused of body fascism & means something more. read full story / add a comment

This is a statement from A group of workers employed in Iran Khodro, Irans largest car plant. It vividly describes the exploitation suffered by Iranian workers both at the hands of Iranian Capitalist employers and from the Iranian Capitalist State. The Iranian Workers issued this statement on September 17. The full text of the statement is at the link.

Friends and fellow workers:

Sharivar 22 [September 13] is the anniversary of the death of our fellow worker, Peyman Razilou. On that day in 2002 he died from exhaustion during the afternoon shift.

His death was four years ago and we haven’t forgotten that tragedy - or the untimely death of our colleague, Mahmood Khayami, who died from stress. And this year we have witnessed another death - this time it was Ali Akbar Shourgashti who was killed because Iranian capitalists pay no attention to health and safety regulations. read full story / add a comment

Under a storm of controversy Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was invited to speak at Columbia University in New York City. Ahmadinejad is in New York for the UN General Assembly meeting. The Iranian President had already caused controversy by seeking to visit the site of the Twin Towers disaster. The request was swiftly denied by the US authorities. The invitation to speak at Columbia was attacked by many across the political spectrum of the US despite many US citizens priding themselves on the right to free speech. The Iranian Presidents speech to the University has come at a time when the US establishment has increased its propaganda war against Iran in what appears to many as a precursor to war. read full story / add a comment

This is an interview conducted by Peter Tatchell with Mark Fischer and Yassamine Mather . There is also some commentary below in which Peter Tatchell makes clear the case against US aggresion towards Iran

Neither Washington nor Tehran. A war against Iran would be another disastrous neo-imperial adventure, which would strengthen the Tehran dictatorship. The overthrow of the clerical regime by the Iranian people - not US military intervention - is the best way to resolve the nuclear crisis and prevent a needless, unjustified war.

"During the talks to renew IBM’s Italian internal collective agreement,
the works council, supported by the majority of IBM Italy employees, asked
for a small salary increase. IBM responded by cancelling their "productive
results benefit", resulting in a loss of €1000 per year for each employee.
For a company that wants to lead in corporate social responsibility, this
is unacceptable." read full story / add a comment
