STOP – Murdoch’s BBC Robbery.
politicolnews.com
The BBC is being forced to hand over tens of millions of pounds every year to line Murdoch’s pockets. Murdoch’s cronies in government are determined to save this scheme — but together we can stop this outrage.
These unbelievable regulations cost our public broadcasters up to £100 million a year. Rather than being paid for their great programmes, they actually have to pay BSkyB to show their programmes. This extortion is unprecedented in any other Western country — and a sign of Murdoch’s shocking power.
In coming days, Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt will decide whether to renew this dreadful deal — and Murdoch’s scandals have put him on the back foot. Our pressure can stop this BBC robbery. Send your message to Hunt now.

I Am Not Racist Facebook, But I Shall Not Share Your Fake ‘Racism On Aircraft’ Story.

THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. THIS IS A FAKE STORY. IF YOU SHARE, YOU HATE RACISM, AND ARE ALSO BLOODY STUPID. THESE KINDS OF POSTS ACCOMPLISH NOTHING PEOPLE.
This happened on TAM airlines.
A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man. Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.
“What’s the problem, ma?” the hostess asked her
“Can’t you see?” the lady said – “I was given a seat next to a black man. I can’t seat here next to him. You have to change my seat”- “Please, calm down, ma” – said the hostess
“Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I’m still going to check if we have any.”The hostess left and returned some minutes later.
“Madam, as I told you, there isn’t any empty seat in this class- economy class.
But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn’t any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class.”And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued
“Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class.
However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travel sat next to an unpleasant person.”And turning to the black man, the hostess said:
“Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class…”
And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet.”

Mexico About To Explode – Drought Hurts Marijuana Crop.
trendsupdates.com
The drought in northern Mexico is so bad that it has hurt even illicit drug growers and their normally well-tended crops of marijuana and opium poppies, according to a Mexican army commander.
One effect of the lack of rains is that drug planting has “declined considerably”, said General Pedro Gurrola, commander of army forces in the state of Sinaloa, the cradle of the drug cartel by the same name.
Gurrola said army surveillance flights have detected fewer plantations than in previous years.
“We can see a lot less than in other years,” Gurrola told reporters. “It depends a lot on conditions. As you can see, everything is dry.”
He said planters were still trying to eke out crops. “They try to adapt. Where there is a stream, a pit, they put pumps and hoses in there and try to produce as much as they can.”
But an army spokesman, General Ricardo Trevilla, stressed that didn’t mean a drop-off in the overall production of drug cartels.

Transgender People are Completely Banned From Boarding Airplanes in Canada.
towleroad.com
THIS IS SO WRONG. AND TO NOT EVEN HAVE IT GO THROUGH PARLIAMENT TO BE DEBATED AND JUST PASSED INTO LAW? WELL, IT COULD ALSO HAPPEN IN NEW ZEALAND AND MANY OTHER PLACES, SO LET US ALL BE AWARE AND SHARE THE INFORMATION.
there is a disturbing new section in the Identity Screening Regulations used in airports throughout Canada. Simply put, Transgender People are Completely Banned From Boarding Airplanes in Canada.
The offending section of the regulations reads:
5.2 (1) An air carrier shall not transport a passenger if …
(c) the passenger does not appear to be of the gender indicated on the identification he or she presents;
Although this obviously discriminatory smear of regulation did not come to significant public attention until very recently, it apparently came into effect on July 27th, 2011.
It is important to note that these regulations are not actually a piece of legislation, which would have had to pass through readings and votes in the House and Senate (which is probably why it went unnoticed until now). Rather, the Identity Screening Regulations are a set of rules implemented unilaterally by the Ministry of Transportation, as part of Canada’s so-called Passenger Protect, which is essentially the Canadian Federal Government’s equivalent to the U.S.’s “no-fly” list.
Minister of Transportation Denis Lebel is, of course, a federal Conservative MP appointed to the cabinet position by Stephen Harper.
So what does this mean? Well, in order to change the ‘sex’ designation on a Canadian Passport, the federal government requires proof that surgery has taken place, or will take place within one year. So for non-operative transgender persons, for gender nonconforming (genderqueer) persons, and for the vast majority of pre-operative transsexual persons, it is literally impossible to obtain proper travel documentation marked with the sex designation which “matches” the gender identity in which they live.
