On Friday October 27th members of Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign protested outside Radio Sheffield to complain about the lack of coverage of recent protests in Sheffield and the abysmal reporting of the national BBC which refuses to call out Israel for the War Crimes they are committing, and often reports as if the conflict wasContinueContinue reading “Palestine Protest at BBC Radio Sheffield”

Stop the War on Gaza. Stop the Genocide.
There was an amazing rally in Sheffield today calling for a stop to the war on Gaza and an end to the Genocide.

The Gaza Strip is a little bigger than Barnsley but has a population equivalent to the whole of West Yorkshire.

I won’t have room to reply to all his points so I will concentrate on one, which isContinueContinue reading “The Gaza Strip is a little bigger than Barnsley but has a population equivalent to the whole of West Yorkshire.”

Mayhem at Barclays. But Sheffield Council continue to bank with them.
There was mayhem at the Barclays Sheffield branch last Monday (14th November). Dressed as cleaners, many in drag, complete with mops, buckets sponges and brushes the “Dirty Scrubbers” from Extinction Rebellion arrived to give the bank a spring clean. As tunes such as “Carwash” by Rose Royce, “Stayin Alive” by the Bee Gees and “IContinueContinue reading “Mayhem at Barclays. But Sheffield Council continue to bank with them.”
