Westboro Baptist Church targeted by Anonymous

Hacker group Anonymous appears to have singled out its next target - the controvesial anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church in the US.

An open letter, purporting to be from Anonymous, accused the church of bigotry and fanaticism.

It warned that Westboro's websites would be attacked if the congregation did not stop its public protests.

In a defiant response, the church said it would not be silenced, and urged Anonymous to "bring it".

Westboro Baptist Church has been widely condemned for its aggressive anti-gay campaigning.

A number of US states have passed legislation, banning Westboro's members from protesting close to military funerals.

The church's leader, pastor Fred Phelps, was banned from entering the UK by the Home Office in 2009.

Waste Land

Documentary based on the power of art to transform and inspire and the beauty of the human spirit.

A new film starring James Franco dramatises the creation of Allen Ginsberg’s poem 'Howl’. Branded obscene, Mick Brown reveals the way it sparked a revolution.

On a warm August afternoon in 1955, Allen Ginsberg sat down at his desk in the one-room cottage where he was living in San Francisco and prepared to launch a revolution in poetry. He was tinkering with the poetic form, looking for a way to achieve a looser, more confessional way of writing – a “spontaneous prose” in the words of his friend Jack Kerouac, that would capture the energy of the “bop refrains” of jazz, and honour Kerouac’s maxim of “first thought is best thought”.

“I thought I wouldn’t write a poem, but just write what I wanted to without fear,” Ginsberg would later reflect. “Let my imagination go, open secrecy, and scribble magic lines from my real mind … writ for my own soul’s ear and a few other golden ears.” The result was “Howl”.

A new film about the creation of the poem, by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, begins with James Franco, who plays Ginsberg, tentatively broaching the opening stanza at the first public reading, in 1955. “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical, naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix …”
