The Criminal Justice Act The Internet invasion of the UK continues, and we have some e-mail addresses where you can register your protest reason: The Criminal Justice & Public Order Act of Britain effectively BANS the holding of Rave parties in the UK and has revoked British Citizens' right to assemble. Method: Use the Internet to register your protest and to cast a global vote against this suspension of basic human rights! 1. The web site www.open.gov.uk run by the UK governments computer department has a feedback page. You can address a protest message there. 2. Although the ruling Conservative Party has not given out a public adress, we do have the address of one MP, David Shaw e-mail: David@dlshaw.demon.co.uk 3. The UK opposition parties have done very little to stop the Criminal Justice Act. Protest to their leaders. The Labour Party leader's address is: tony.blair@geo2.poptel.org.uk The leader of the Liberal Party can be contacted at: paddyashdown@cix.compulink.co.uk 4. Another way to help is send your protest message to British companies. 5. Snail Mail: If you want to contact the British P.M and don't have e-mail access then write a letter to Mr J Major, 10 Downing St, London, SW1 2AA, United Kingdom This Bill which was recently passed by the British gov't and is an insidious way to stop more than 10 people gathering on public land, and threatens the development of democracy and human rights. In Australia, we too have problems with finding decent venues and having all night dance parties. However, no law yet prohibits the gathering of people in order to congregate nor does the law impose a ban on repetitive beats., i.e techno music. Spyfood knows that most ravers wanna have fun, and its important to think about the plight of others who are fighting for their right to rave.
