Do you want Lockheed Martin to run the next UK Census in 2011?
The next UK Census will be in 2011. It might be run by an American arms manufacturer. Maybe that's not a good thing.
The Green Party have put together a video explaining the potential significance of the UK government putting the running of the 2011 census out to contract by private companies.
Peace One Day - 21 September, 2007
21 September is designated by the UN as International Peace Day. Have a look at www.peacechurch.org.uk/blog/joe/060921 and www.peaceoneday.org for more info on the day itself.
Free Hugs!
An awesome story of one man's mission to reach out and hug a stranger in the name of humanity. Not long after offering free hugs to anyone who wanted or needed a hug Juan Mann was banned by police and city officials. But a petition was launched and in a jiffy there were 10,000 signatures and he was soon free to hug again.
So, go on - reach out and hug someone.
Schools' Song for Peace - No Wars Will Stop Us Singing
This year, to celebrate International Peace Day (September 21, every year), up and down the UK children in schools, choirs and youth groups have been learning a specially commissioned Song for Peace. Children across the country will sing the song No Wars Will Stop Us Singing on 21 September 2006.
The song was originally written for Youth Music's Singbook by award-winning duo Debbie Wiseman and Don Black. It is promoted by BBC Radio 2 presenter Aled Jones, and the NASUWT teachers' union and the charity Youth Music are leading the celebrations.
UN World Peace Day 2006
In 1999, British filmmaker Jeremy Gilley launched a new film project called Peace One Day. In September 2001, Peace One Day achieved one of it's key objectives when a United Nations General Assembly resolution (A/Res/55/282), put forward by the UK and Costa Rican governments, was unanimously adopted by all UN member states, formally establishing an annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence on the UN International Day of Peace, fixed in the global calendar on 21 September - Peace Day.
