Submitted by lrt2 on Sun, 03/23/2014 - 16:27

London Rising Tide blockaded and shut down the Old Street Shell garage on the night of 14th March in memory of Shell activist and sambaista Val Dazzle, who lost her battle with Motor Neurone Disease in early 2010. They were joined by friends from Rhythms of Resistance samba band and other Shell2Sea friends in London. Val "Dazzle"- due to her winning smile - was a prominent member of London Rising Tide and the Band, with whom Val played for many years, even in a wheelchair just a few months before she passed away.http://indyrikki.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/01-shell.jpg

U.K. HAS WETTEST 12 MONTHS IN 500 YEARS

Friday, 27 April, 2001 During the last 12 months the UK's rainfall has been the heaviest since record began in 1735. Meteorologists say that under previous "normal" conditions the UK would only get this much rain once every 500 to 750 years. Looks like there's no "normal" weather any more. So much for all those people (and the Daily Mail) who claimed global warming was going to make us into the Costa Del Sol.
