A political taboo for two decades, nationalization is a recurrent demand in the latest wave of labour strikes in privatized textile firms. Hossam el-Hamalawy reports
The Nile Delta village of Mit Hebeish, 10 minute drive from the southern entrance of the city of Tanta on the Cairo-Alexandria Agricultural Road, is usually a quite place, whose peace briefly gets disturbed every now and then by a microbus driver honking or a tok-tok acrobating its way across the nearby railway lines. Over the past month, however, the town saw Central Security Forces troops clashing with workers several times, amid a militant strike by one thousand workers in Tanta Flax and Oil Company.
Machines in the flax processing plant came to halt on 31 May, with strikers’ demands including: their 7% annual bonus unpaid from July 2008, raising their daily food allowance from LE32 to LE90 (as decreed by the government following the September 2007 strike in Mahalla) and the reinstatement of nine sacked workers including two trade unionists. For 33 days now the workers have been sleeping in the factory, sometimes bringing their families.

We have accomplished so much and there’s much more to do, but my family
and I determined after prayerful consideration that sacrificing my
title helps Alaska most. And once I decided not to run for re-election,
my decision was that much easier – I’ve never been one to waste time or
resources.

Three hundred thousand of the poorest households in Britain are expected to lose up to £60 a month from their housing benefit under government plans to curb the welfare budget. The cut, which would hit Labour's core voters a month before the next general election, could spark a revolt reminiscent of the 10p tax rate debacle.
The decision was buried in an obscure consultation paper that was slipped out last month. It details changes for some people renting homes from private landlords and reflects Treasury cutbacks on any spending deemed non-essential.

this isn't good - Public sector pay should be frozen or at least subject to "severe" restraint to help rebalance the public finances, says the head of a spending watchdog.
Audit Commission chief Steve Bundred told the Observer public sector workers had "done well" in the past 10 years and would "tolerate" modest reductions.
Chancellor Alistair Darling said public sector pay had to be "fair" to private sector employees as well.
Last year a policy to limit public pay rises to 2% prompted walkouts.
You quit your job as Queen of Alaska and now you want we should give you millions of dollars so you can run for President and maybe quit that?

This is the first time a square is named after Gamal. I do not approve on this decision with my all respect to the governor who took this decision with hopes that in the next Governors movements he will be transferred from Upper Egypt to Cairo or Giza or even Alexandria.
I do not understand why a public square would be named after Gamal Mubarak in Egypt in the first place if it were not for political hypocrisy !!??
Do not tell me that Gamal has fought poverty because in 28 years of his father rule Poverty in Egypt has increased fiercely not to mention the fact Gamal's entourage is from the greedy businessmen whom represent capitalism in its worst forms , do not expect them or him to be like Talaat Pasha Herb.
Do not tell me because Gamal's contributions to the society as in the end of the day the future foundation does not spend from Gamal's pocket money or his banks account , it is spending originally from our stolen public money.

What Gamal Mubarak is doing is already what his father should have done for 28 years. All what he is doing is cheap propaganda to appear in front of the international community as a humanitarian leader to increase his chances to be accepted as the next President of Egypt , cheap very cheap propaganda.

speaking of liberal, the new nancy griffith album 'the loving kind' is unabashedly liberal: the 'loving' is about the anti-miscegenation law lovings, and there are songs against the death penalty, against w, for lbj, in tribute to townes van zandt and i forget what-all else.
