Slaves are those forced to work, held through fraud under threat of violence for no pay beyond subsistence. There are more slaves in the world today than at any other point in history.

John 'Knocker' Norris has been performing his own brand of music since the 1970's. He's often described as a punk artiste since he was there with many other rebels at the beginning of the punk movement, but he is far too versatile and complex to place a label on him. Most of his contemporaries eventually sold out to the record companies and became mainstream 'poseurs' and part of the establishment, whereas Knocker has always held on to his principles. He has lasted because he isn't a product of the corporate music industry. His music and ideas will never go out of fashion. He's an outlaw and he's a legend. Although he sometimes disappears off the radar for extended periods, he has been touring and performing for over thirty years and has a huge and loyal following who pack out his venues all over the world.

The International Day of Peace (“World Peace Day”) is observed around the world each year on 21 September. It was established in 1981 when the United Nations General Assembly declared this as a day of non-violence and ceasefire devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. Anyone, anywhere can celebrate Peace Day. It can be as simple as lighting a candle, sitting in silent meditation, or doing a good deed for someone. Or it can involve getting your co-workers, organisation, community or government engaged in a large event. You can also share thoughts, messages and pictures to commemorate Peace Day on social media.

"I call on all warring parties to lay down their weapons and observe a global ceasefire. To them I say: stop the killings and the destruction, and create space for lasting peace."
