British nationals travelling with the aid flotilla to Gaza

Posted By fotdmike on June 1, 2010

I’ve just received (0757hrs 01.06.10) the following message from Viva Palestina:

This is an urgent request asking you all to call The Foreign & Commonwealth Office in London on Tel: 020 7008 1500 and to provide the 16 names as listed below as missing.

Demand that a safe passage for these innocent people is immediately made.

Demand that they are all treated fairly and are all provided with medical assistance.

Demand that the FCO are provided with proof by the Israeli government that these people are all safe and demand their whereabouts now!

Demand that all the passengers are all receiving British Consulate attention and are able to contact their families to let them know that they are safe and well!

Welcome to TawNews!

"TaW" = "Tilting at Windmills" so "TawNews" represents the newsy-type area of TaW. To explain...

Having become thoroughly disgusted by the bias, spin, and blatant non-reporting of certain types of events on the part of the mainstream media we find ourselves having much greater confidence in the independent, alternative, and "citizen journalist" news sources.
TawNews is our effort toward promoting those sources through links, dynamic feeds, and the occasional reproduction of selected content.
As our own contribution, in some small measure, we also periodically post reportage of our own.
That said, we freely admit to having our own bias... in a direction markedly different to that of the mainstream media!

[P.S. "We", in all instances, is "fotdmike" and a small select bunch of friends!]
