London: UK Uncut stage bail in at Barclays Bank

Protesters targeted more than 35 branches of Barclays bank, with pickets, poetry readings and even colouring competitions, in another of a series of days of direct action organised by the UK Uncut group. They were highlighting Barclays' admission that it paid just £113m in UK corporation tax in 2009 – a year when it rang up a record £11.6bn in profits. At Tottenham Court Road (above), one of eight branches of Barclays in London to be targeted, some 40 to 50 people heard comedian Josie Lawrence pledge her support, before a group of people held a two-hour sit-in in the bank.

Allahu Akbar: The people prevail in Egypt

History in the making, history now made.
A salute to the people of Egypt and their patience, resilience and courage over eighteen days of true people power. RIP to the fallen soldiers of true democracy, the martyrs. Respect to the Egyptian army.
Shame on America and Europe. Their words of congratulation sound hollow and fit firmly in the category of too little, too late.
January - Ben Ali, February - Mubarak. Just what will March bring? The people will decide.
