Career / Commercial Sex Workers In UK Join May Day Celebrations by Eggcelent(m): 6:28pm On May 06, 2018 |
A group of sex workers have taken part in the May Day march in Glasgow for the first time. Campaigners from the charity Scot-Pep and the Sex Worker Advocacy and Resistance Movement attended the event. The protest is part of efforts to decriminalise sex work and to win better protection against deportation for migrant sex workers. The May Day march on Sunday was led by members of the Glasgow Equal Pay Campaign. With this year marking the 100th anniversary of women being given the right to vote, the focus was on equality. Equal Pay campaigners Members of the Glasgow Equal Pay Campaign were dressed in the style of the women workers at Ford's Dagenham plant The sex workers taking part were also be highlighting the problem of violence against those working in the industry. Scot-Pep tweeted afterwards: "So many good reactions today - someone came up to us and said 'I've been part of the trade union movement for decades, good on you for being being here!"' Speaking ahead of the demonstration, sex worker Harley said: "I've never been a part of a workers' movement before, but I think it is vital for sex workers to be visible in places like this. "Too often we are talked down to and made to feel like our struggles are not welcome in the workers' rights movement, we're here to say that we can speak for ourselves and no longer be spoken for. We demand workers' rights." Fellow sex worker Molly added: "It's important for sex workers to be here on this iconic day for workers of all sorts. We are so often overlooked by the trade union movement, which in the past has even supported the continued criminalisation of our workplaces. "Ironically, criminalisation makes us very vulnerable to workplace exploitation and abuse. We're here demanding labour rights and solidarity, not criminalisation and poverty." Members of the Glasgow Equal Pay Campaign took part in the march dressed in the style of the women workers at Ford's Dagenham plant, who campaigned on the issue in 1968. The 2018 May Day poster was designed by artist Lorna Miller, who combined three generations of Glasgow campaigners. Mary McArthur was a suffragette who founded the women's trade union league, Agnes McLean was union convenor at Rolls Royce in Hillingdon and led strikes for equal pay, and Denise Phillips is a home carer and part of the current Glasgow City Council collective dispute. Jennifer McCarey, chairwoman of Glasgow Trades Council, said that 50 years since the strike at Dagenham "Glasgow is currently at the forefront of Scotland's largest equal pay battle". "Our May Day celebrations will be led by these campaigners," she added. The annual protest and celebration of rights is part of International Workers Day, which takes place on May Day each year. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-44016140 |

First, Such Taxes May Limit Inciting Messages Being Propagated Via Social Media Secondly, It May Limit Number Of Manhours Some People "Waste" On Social Media.

Hence, Any Action Taken To Ensure Same Should Also Be Commended. Challenge Is In Getting The Balance Between Rule Of Law & Exigencies Of Security Operations |

Crime / Re: London Police Discover $8.5million In Nigerian Student's Apartment (Video, Photo by Eggcelent(m): 11:11am On Apr 30, 2018 |
A television crew filming a documentary about bailiffs stumbled across more than £5 million stashed in a flat. The cash, in US dollars, was found in a wooden box in the apartment. The crew, believed to be filming a programme for a Channel 5 series, had followed the bailiffs to the property in East London where they were executing a warrant to recover money in a separate issue. Police were called and seized the cash, amounting to $8.5million dollars (£5.1million), which has been sent for authentication. The flat is located near the Docklands financial district and London City Airport. Bailiffs discover $5.1 million Bailiffs carrying out a search were shocked to discover $5.1 million in dollars in a residential flat(Image: SWNS) A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “Police were called at approximately 1025hrs on Wednesday, 11 June to an address in Wards Wharf Apartments, E16 after a large quantity of cash was found by bailiffs who were executing a warrant there.” A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of money laundering and has been released on bail to a date in mid-August. Police confirmed there was no terrorism connection. The scale of money laundering was revealed last month after a gang of 32 men who ‘cleansed’ more than £180 million for drug traffickers were jailed for a total of 140 years. The huge scam saw a staggering £44 million deposited into a single bank in Small Heath, Birmingham. But the racket was smashed by National Crime Agency officers, who filmed bags of cash being exchanged in the city. https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/pictured-5-million-cash-found-3683883.amp *INCIDENT HAPPENED IN 2014 & NOTES WERE DISCOVERED TO BE FAKE, PLEASE |

Foreign Affairs / Swaziland King Renames Country 'the Kingdom Of Eswatini' by Eggcelent(m): 4:55pm On Apr 19, 2018 |
Swaziland's King Mswati III has announced he is renaming the country as the Kingdom of eSwatini. The monarch announced the official change at Golden Jubilee celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Swazi independence. The celebrations also marked the monarch's 50th birthday. The southern African nation is an absolute monarchy. The king, known as Ngwenyama or "the lion", is known for his many wives and for his adherence to traditional dress. Swaziland is a Commonwealth member. The BBC's Nomsa Maseko in Swaziland says the announcement of the name change has angered some in the country, who believe the king should focus more on the nation's sluggish economy. The son of Sobhuza II, who reigned for 82 years, King Mswati III currently has 15 wives. According to official biographers, his father took 125 wives during his reign. While the official name change was unexpected, King Mswati III has been referring for years to Swaziland as the Kingdom of eSwatini. This was the name the king used when he addressed the UN general assembly in 2017 and at the state opening of the country's parliament in 2014. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-43821512 |
