Pussy Riot: Free Pussy Riot!

Today, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich - three members of the Russian group Pussy Riot - begin their Moscow show trial.
In March they were arrested and charged with "hooliganism" after their band performed a song in Russia's main Orthodox cathedral that mocked President Putin. 
The women are clearly being made examples of in an attempt to discourage dissent and the growing protest movement against the Putin regime.
They face up to seven years in prison.
For singing a song FFS.

Daily Mail: Ever Been In A Riot, Girl?

Brilliant front page on The Daily Mail today.
Am I alone in wishing it said "Rage of the Riot Girls"?
Or Riot Grrrls.
Or, more in keeping with The Daily Mail's housestyle and sensibilities, should the headline be; "Ladies! Please!"
And it's hilarious it's tied in with the banner asking "So who IS the Mail's inspirational woman of the year?"
One of these angry young women, one hopes.
Anyway, Fagburn say; "More of this sort of thing!"
