Excellent post.

Worth remembering that the British government exploded bombs causing many deaths in London and Birmingham and blamed it on the IRA during the 1970s and 80s in blatant false flag operations.

I strongly believe the 7/7 London bombings were also false flag.

Hmmm, here's my top five:

1. Harry Chapin. Saw him and his brother Tom in a small concert hall in 1978. I cried.
2. Rolling Stones. Birmingham, AL about 1981. Unbelievable!
3. Eric Clapton. Birmingham, AL, six months ago. He showcased new talent and played all his greatest. The arena was too big and the sound kind of sucked, but still...
4. John Prine, Nashville TN at the Ryman Auditorium in 2006. Surreal.
5. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, Memphis TN, '82 at the Orpheum. Fuckin awesome.

Their first album went platinum in the U.S.- Could not have happened to a nicer group of Birmingham chums...released on Friday the 13th, February, 1970.

in the uk 10% of the population already recieve floride in the water, including birmingham.

dont see what the big deal is. Either way, this guy is an idiot. The arguments he's using are totally illogical.

i'd rather had the floride and be like the rest of the world than be like this guy. Not that it matters as we're looking to move to new zealand who have had floridation for 50 years.

edit: and i dont support labour either.

There was a documentary on Frontline (PBS) called Hand of God, which was a similar to story to this. It was regarding Fr Joseph Birmingham and an apparently similar method of protection for pedophillic priests, regardless of the lives they destroy.

See it here:

I put it in this collective primarily for the images used in this video.

It features the band performing in the desert, while reflecting on a variety of social issues including stem cell research, pollution, global warming, racism, Nazism, famine, wars, deforestation, drug addiction, obesity, destruction, and other crimes committed by humanity. The video also features short views of important historical figures, such as Mother Teresa, Buddha, Fidel Castro and Mahatma Gandhi.

It sure seems to me that they are commenting on Domestic Policy and Foreign affairs.

Notable clips from the video

Auschwitz concentration camp
Buddha
Benito Mussolini
Citizens of the world's least developed countries.

Pollution and global warming clips

I repect the fact that you disagree, but I disagree with your disagreement. Histnerd if you agree with Farhad2000's comment I will happily discard and resubmit it, just let me know!

A funny British big beat music video from Bentley Rhythm Ace:

Bentley Rhythm Ace (BRA) is a duo formed in Birmingham, England in the late 1990s consisting of Mike Stokes and Richard March. The band were formed by former members of the group Pop Will Eat Itself, with guest appearances by D.J. Milf, a member of indie band EMF. Their live drummer was Fuzz Townshend, with whom March previously played in Pop Will Eat Itself - Wiki.

The Complaints Choir invites people to complain as much as they want and to sing their complaints out loud together with fellow complainers. The first choir was organised in Birmingham followed by the Complaints Choir of Helsinki and Hamburg.
