Martin Deane - Green

War - Good God Y'all, what is it good for, absolutely, nothing, say it again... Religion - Zen Catholic. Which has absolutely nothing to do with Satanism but may include a bit of carrot Worship. Education - Thinks that children should learn about environmental and ecological issues in order to safe guard the future of our species. Pensioners - Recycling! The possibilities are endless... Trees Hugged - Down to 4 a day

Standout Idea - Nuclear Disarmament. Professionalism - A straight shooter (despite the rumours) Theme Tune - Saltwater - Julian Lennon Use in a fight - Yank him by the roots and he'll kick like a Daffodil Drink of Choice - Anything Organic Why should I vote for him - If you think that Environmental issues are the priority subject in today's society. If that is the case then may I suggest you vote Greens in the council elections and not the general. He will be much more effective in that arena I think.

Dennis Healy - Liberal

War - Against it. He's a Liberal for Christ sake! Religion - A good honest Christian. Education - He would scrap tution Fees thus giving Students more extra cash to drink themselves blind at £1 a pint nights. Pensioners - Some of his best friends etc...etc Perks - He's a manager at Needlers so free bags of Mint Sensations may be (at last!) on the cards.

Standout Idea - The party line is they would decriminalise Cannabis....which is nice. Professionalism - He's against reasonable Chastisement of Children...no he isn't...yes is...no he isn't !!?? Theme Tune - Bob Dylan - Sitting on a Barb Wire Fence Use in a Fight - Doesn't look like much but beware of his stinging left. Drink of Choice -The distracted gaze of a seasoned Bitter drinker Why should I vote for Him - If you believe that Charles Kennedy would be the best representative and Prime Minister for this country.

Current Affairs - Iraq and the Butler Report - a letter from Pablo Gonzales to his MP Alan Johnson

	Having caught a glimpse of you yesterday afternoon at Hull Central Library prompted me to write this letter, and my thoughts about the Iraq war. The publication of the Butler Report has made clear that Mr Blair was openly dishonest when he chose to highlight only the elements of the intelligence available Read more...

Current Affairs - Have you herd the one about Sainsburys ? By Louise, Greenpeace, Hull.

	On Saturday 17th July activists from Hull joined campaigners from all over the region to converge on Sainsburys in Sunderland. Whilst six of us chained ourselves to the milk aisle, the rest, dressed as cows and milkmen gathered outside the store to highlight the fact that Sainsburys own brand milk comes from cows fed on GM Read more...

Current Affairs - Tony Blair lives, David Kelly dies By Martin Deane

	Lord Hutton was chosen by Blair. Lord Hutton was given his brief by Blair. Lord Hutton has whitewashed the Government and scapegoated the BBC. Blair conned us to go to war and the Hutton Report is a smokescreen. Hutton was a major event in itself, but the real issue is - and remains - responsibility for war. Today no blame Read more...

Current Affairs - America - no magic rabbit to pull out of the Iraqi hat By Martin Deane

	I heard a story recently. A Labour MP met with Blair over Iraq. Tony asked how things were in his constituency. He replied "I've had 3 letters in support of the war - and 350 against!" Blair, unfazed, said "Don't worry, the people will forget once the war is over." We want UK troops out of Iraq. Get them out. Bring them home. End this monstrosity of lending Read more...

Articles - Death On Camera By Nicholas Boldock

If you missed the programme and don't already know the case, here are the facts: Christopher Alder was in Waterfront Nightclub on the night of April 1st, 1998.

Articles - If You Tolerate This, Your Children Will Be Next (How Hull helped the children of Spain.) By Rich Mills
	In May 1937 the Spanish liner Habana left Bilbao in Spain, on-board were 4,200 Basque children being brought to the safety of the UK. The Spanish Civil War had started on July 17th 1936, and the world stood by and watched in horror as innocents were slaughtered. Some however took it upon themselves to do something about the blood-shed. Read more...

Articles - Biking with Wireless Broadband By Carl

	Sitting in front of my computer at my project management job, I got to thinking how can I spend more time enjoying life and less time working. What I need is a business where I can go away motorcycling that will look after itself to some extent. I Motorcycle in my spare time and one of my favourite areas is the East Midlands Read more...

Articles - No Surrender In Hull - The Dark Side Of Football

	By David Jones Last week's match between England and Turkey was one of the most crucial and pivotal sporting events this country has been involved in for quite some time (probably since THAT World Cup game against Brazil, in fact). Read more...

Articles - Things To Do Before You're 30 Part 2 By Sarah Tomlinson

	When I was younger, like most iddy-biddy girls, I had the dream of being a pop star. Singing, dancing, whatever on stage and having thousands of mad fans calling my name and singing the words of my latest single. Admittedly that dream carried on for me. So much so that it's kind of still there. But the dream of stardom Read more...

Articles - Made In Hull - Part 3 The Calm before, (The Storm) By Maurice Fairfield

	Things which happened in the thirties flutter by me like calendar leaves in an old movie and I try to catch some of them as they fly. There was the Graf Zeppelin which flew over Hull in 1932 as part of a goodwill tour. Many people believed that its crew were photographing the docks and industries Read more...

Articles - This Is East 'Ull By Nicholas Boldock

	Way back in the October of 1975, I popped my head out in Hedon Road Maternity Hospital, wailed a bit, and said hello to East Hull, which was to be my home for the next 18 years, give or take. Read more...
