Angela - John & Yoko's tribute to Angela Davis

Really liked this collection of images used to accompany John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Angela




The relationship between Lennon and American radicals during the late 1960s and 1970s is not particularly well known.  It is well documented in the film The U.S. vs. John Lennon.

No More Prison

Once upon a time I spent a lot of time setting up a website for the organisation No More Prison.  The website (and indeed organisation) have not been active over the last year or so but I was recently informed that its website host was pulling the plug and all my hard work was potentially heading down the plug hole.

So I set up a blog imaginatively called No More Prison to which I am cutting and pasting material from NMP's website.  Using the scheduling feature these are appearing once or twice a day.  So far the following has been posted

• Women's Imprisonment today
• Women's rebellion and resistance to prison
• New Labour's Law and Order Crusade
• Prisoners-Slaves of the 21st Century
