just seen a piece in the guardian - both main backers have now pulled out of the ilisu dam project, that would've flooded ancient kurdish homelands. tony blair was for the project but other cabinet ministers were against it. from my limited knowledge of the issue this seems like a seriously Good Thing.

Well... unless a foreign company steps in to take BB's place, then we're fucked.

Now, if we can just get Turkey to stop being such utter bastards to it's Kurds then it's even better...

Mark Thomas has been heavily involved in this campaign. He has been asked by the government to be involved in the campaign. He created scenes at the Belfour Beaty shareholders meetings, which mount phoenomenal pressure on the company. Its all in his live act at present. I will try to dig out the programme
Mark Thomas. He is a lord
