May backtracks under Commons interrogation

By Ian Dunt

But speaking to MPs this morning Ms May admitted the majority of people arrested during the riots were not members of gangs and that gang membership played a smaller role than originally assumed.

On the cancelling of police leave, Ms May said she had informed police chiefs to follow the Met's example in terms of numbers, but implicitly accepted she had no power to cancel leave. Read more at www.politics.co.uk

"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." This is what it says in the very first Article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The idea of Human Rights is one of the most important fundaments of human co-existence. At the same time human rights are subject to fierce debates and Human Rights violations are common all over the world. But what exactly are Human Rights? Who is responsible for protecting them? And do they really apply to all people? These are the question the newest animated Video clip in the WissensWerte series deals with. WissensWerte is a project of the german non-profit organisation /e-politik.de/ e.V. (http://www.e-politik.de). It is realized by Jörn Barkemeyer and Jan Künzl (edeos- digital education http://www.edeos.org ) Read more at www.youtube.com

change in social media focus

I have recently realised that my social media strategy is a mess: too many blogs; many of which are inactive; too many twitter accounts, too much cross posting and too little focus. Changes have to be made. Therefore, this is the plan.

Twitter;
@agentofchage will be political stuff
@Vizk will be writing related stuff
@uniquecomunica will be my personal doings

Facebook
Vikz Richards http://www.facebook.com/vikzr will remain as it is

Blogs
Life Journal http://agentofchage.livejournal.com/ will be basically what it says on the tin. It will be my daily doings.
Blogger will be now two accounts
http://vikz-unique.blogspot.com/ this will mainly focus on political stuff
http://punksweirdtalesandliteraryghosts.blogspot.com/ will as the name implies will deal with writing, new media and books

Tumbler –http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/uniquecomunica will be a general site and carry highlights from all and maybe video and audio extras
Word press- http://uniquecomuniqua.wordpress.com/ I am unsure what to do with this. It may be deleted or become disability specific.
