Collapse The Movie

Americans generally like to hear good news. They like to believe that a new president will right old wrongs, that clean energy will replace dirty oil and that fresh thinking will set the economy straight. American pundits tend to restrain their pessimism and hope for the best. But is anyone prepared for the worst?….

Art Music Politic

The ArtMusicPolitic co-operative (amp) is born of desire to spread political awareness through music and art. amp is unaffiliated instead preferring to provide a platform through live music and art for groups and organisations that have something to say about the world.

More interested in questions than answers, in awareness than enlightenment amp seeks to reach out to the non-aligned, the neutral and the ’couldn’t care less’ and whilst we broadly support the causes of those we invite to take part, it is for they not us to make their case.

Convention on Modern Liberty

We are entering a dangerous period in our country. Economic turmoil threatens profound hardship and disharmony. Disenchantment with politics is growing and even legitimate protest is threatened by an unprecedented programme of challenges to our rights, freedoms and democracy. Sixty years ago Britain was a proud co-author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Now it is increasingly centralized, abandoning its historic principles some of which date back to the Magna Carta.

Naomi Klein

Around the world in Britain, the United States, Asia and the Middle East, there are people with power who are cashing in on chaos; exploiting bloodshed and catastrophe to brutally remake our world in their image. They are the shock doctors. Thrilling and revelatory, The Shock Doctrine cracks open the secret history of our era. Exposing these global profiteers, Naomi Klein discovered information and connections that shocked even her about how comprehensively the shock doctors’ beliefs now dominate our world – and how this domination has been achieved. Raking in billions out of the tsunami, plundering Russia, exploiting Iraq – this is the chilling tale of how a few are making a killing while more are getting killed.

First London Power

People produce waste. That is a fact of life that we cannot change, however, as a society we can change how much we produce, how we manage it and what we do with it. People need power. That is also a fact of life that we cannot change. However, as a society, we can change how we produce it, how we manage it and what we do with it.

If society is to respond to its current challenges, it will need to engage in joined up thinking by all the people involved. At First London Power we think we have already started on our own joined up thinking by turning waste into energy. We now want to engage with all the other people involved so it truly becomes joined.

New Social Ethic

This is as a worldwide social experiment, inviting anyone, anywhere to send in their contribution to develop the basis of a universal ethical code. It will hopefully define a set of universal human values of modern social ethics for individuals, societies and nations. This could then provide us with shared principles and enable us to address the many problems and challenges we face in the short term, for future generations and for all life on earth in the long term.

howies

A higher quality product will invariably last longer. It will keep on performing as it was designed to for longer before it finally needs replacing. And so over its lifespan it will have consumed less valuable resources than an inferior product that will have been replaced many times.

That’s why we make the best quality products that we know how. Because ultimately the best thing we can do for the environment is to make our stuff last a real long time.

Noam Chomsky

“The man who needs no introduction” is the most hackneyed showbiz catchphrase imaginable. It is oddly apropos when applied to Noam Chomsky. How is it possible to adequately summarize his work and impact? Since the 1960s he has provided an ongoing, devastating critique of power, empire and oppression. Then there is the Herculean productivity: a voluminous written output, talks and appearances all around the world — not to mention the long shadow he has cast over the field of linguistics. Richard Klin, July 2008
