LONDON STREET ART
Shoreditch Street Art, London
It would be wonderful to think that the artists who ply their work on the streets might act as an inspiration, so that the mindless scrawl that you might find in places like Tottenham, will one day be replaced by urban masterpieces. But that would be to ignore the political economy which underpins this work. The guys who produce this stuff are educated, linked in, global, skilled up artists. Their work might be street, and not all of them might be loaded, but they are part of the scene. So let’s not over romanticise this. This isn’t the working classes getting streetwise and looking for a way to make life better for everyone. Whilst much of the work is iconoclastic and challenging, this open air art gallery is a playground for middle class adults.

Sparkler up the flue anyone?
THE BEIJING OLYMPICS
Free peoples do not have the right to support the Beijing Olympic Games. The capitalist fuelled nationalism of the Chinese Communist Party does not see man other than as an instrument for achieving its barbarian goals. Can such a regime, based on forced migration and slavery of the masses, a regime that is preparing for war and exists merely through mendacious propaganda, respect peaceful sport and free sportsmen? Believe me, those international sportsmen who go to Beijing are nothing more than gladiators, prisoners and entertainers for the dictators who already consider themselves masters of the world. Finally, I should like to stress that the success of the Olympic Games will help to promote China's regime for a time. It will give it new possibilities and strength. It will reinforce its prestige.

HAVE YOU SERVED IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN?
According to one author, after any war soldiers usually express resentment at the general lack of public awareness, interest and attention. They fear their sacrifices will be forgotten. Vanguard Online would like to publish soldiers' experiences of war, told first hand from their point of view. If you have served in Iraq or Afghanistan, and would like your story to be told please email us on vanguardonline@hotmail.com
TRAVEL
Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily
Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily adorn the western Italian coastline, basking in the sunshine of the Mediterranean. Whilst geographically close each island has a distinct identity. From the verdant mountains of Corsica to the sandy heat of Sardinia and the hustle and bustle of Sicily. From the calm reserve of the Corsicans to the gentle humility of the Sardinians and the rude and noisy Sicilians.
