Schnews is a news site based in the UK. It provides a different slant on the news to that given in mainstream newspapers. For instance, one regular feature is 'crap arrest of the week' which details the stupidity of the police and their desperation to silence opposition. This week's arrest is for taking a photo of someone being arrested! It includes stories that tend to be swept under the carpet by other media, for instance who sells the guns to the terrorists in the first place. Again, this weeks highlights are an attack on World Trade, and a shocking story about the US 'war on drugs' which involves dropping highly poisonous untested chemicals on farmers from great heights. This pesticide is designed to be sprayed at low level, not from the sky, and is a more noxious form of a chemical already associated with numerous side effects.
The news is updated once a week, and can be viewed on the website, or downloaded in pdf format and printed off to spread it as far as possible. It also contains news on demos and other events happening in the UK. It is an essential read for anyone looking for the other side of the news.
