Communities in #Birmingham UK have developed methods for responding the recent epidemic of far right activists hanging British and St George flags high up on flagpoles to embolden racists organising and intimidate minorities.

- For every flag spotted, the community is donating £5 to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. They have already raised £1,533 and rising.

- Using a 10m telescopic pole wrapped in double sided carpet tape to twist the flag in and pull it down.

Please spread the word. Hate and intimidation is not tolerated.

62 years ago today—September 15, 1963—four girls in Birmingham were murdered by a bomb in their church. Two boys were murdered in the chaos that followed.

Six children, gone before sundown.

This is what resistance to equality looks like.

The best of Back to the Beggining so far: Halestorm and Supergroup A with bandmembers from Megadeth, Faith no More, Anthrax and others. With the Anthrax incarnation being the very best so far. Alice in Chains are on stage right now, they sound like a very competent band but they're lacking anger, or vodka, or both.

That was an excellent performance by Halestorm. Well constructed songs, sometimes veering into hard rock, sometimes anthemic a la Iron Maiden, sometimes integrating a richer rhythm dynamics kind of Metallica.

Great work so far!
