Quadcopter drone group held in London airport on suspicion of terrorism

Fresh from performing at Science Gallery in Dublin last night during the opening of Hack the City, an English group of urbanists, technologists and architects who created GPS-enabled quadcopter drones, were held at London Southend Airport on suspicion of terrorism and recorded under the UK’s Terrorism Act.
The group, known as Tomorrows Thoughts Today, had been performing their Electronic Countermeasures robotic ballet in the sky show at Science Gallery for the opening of the three-month Hack the City exhibition in Dublin City.
The trio, headed up by Liam Young, had created the robotic drones from components that were originally intended for police surveillance.
The drones had been swarming around Science Gallery last night to show how they can broadcast their own Wi-Fi network as a flying pirate file-sharing formation.
As they swarm, people in the audience can log onto the drone network with their phones and laptops and use the drones as a local network to upload files and share data with one another...

This award-winning documentary charts the extraordinary and inspirational story of mysterious 1970s musician Rodriguez. In UK cinemas July 27th
In the late '60s, a musician was discovered in a Detroit bar by two celebrated producers who were struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics. They recorded an album that they believed was going to secure his reputation as one of the greatest recording artists of his generation. In fact, the album bombed and the singer disappeared into obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, it became a phenomenon. Two South African fans then set out to find out what really happened to their hero. Their investigation led them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez. This is a film about hope, inspiration and the resonating power of music.

A Short Introduction to Skinheads - A History of Anti-Racist Action

Regardless of the majority of public opinion and of the bullshit spread by the mainstream media, the undeniable truth is that real Skinheads are not racist. The view that Skinheads are connected to the far-right became common because of the hi-jacking of the Skinhead movement by Nazi organizations such as the NF (National Front) and the BM (British Movement), and of the refusal of the media to give real Skinheads a voice.
Far from the fascist orientations that the newspapers and Hollywood would have you believe the reality is that the Skinhead movement was created by the integration of the British Mod and Jamaican Rude Boy subcultures. The immigration boom of the sixties forged the black and white working-class youth of the UK together, who alienated by the predominantly middle-class hippie scene, founded their own movement based around the influx of Reggae music that was pouring into the UK at that time. The boots and shaved heads acted as a sign of rebellion, although there were also practical reasons such as working and fighting. The tragic irony is that, despite suffering from a racist and xenophobic stereotype, Skinheads are a product of immigration...
