A G8 protestor reacts to London attacks
09-07-2005 20:34
Here's something I jotted down on the Resist G8 train from Scotland to London. It's basically sets out my feelings at this stage about the political situation, and these may change while I'm actually in London. It's weak on many points, but please see it as a starting point for discussion.Resist train returns safely to Kings Cross

We've just heard that the South East Assembly Resist train has returned safely from the G8 protests. The train set off at 11.47am this morning - there were some 40 cops there to greet the London-bound protesters, a couple of stop and searches took place before anarchists waved goodbye to the police.G8, Africa and climate change: a good time to bury bad news

When the news of the bombs hitting London broke on our campsite in Craigmillar, we all immediately reached for our mobile phones in the hope that friends were ok. In that moment, the G8, Africa, the protests and the police all became irrelevant. As good news filtered through, political minds inevitably began to drift back to the wider political implications. "This will definitely mean ID cards,” one sighed. "Iran will be next for the neo-cons," said another. "And Muslims are going to be hammered." Debates and disagreements broke out but on one thing everyone was agreed: this was “a good time to bury bad news”. And yesterday's announcement of the G8 deal on Africa and climate change contained a lot of bad news, whatever those idiots Geldof and Bono say.Campaigners distance themselves from Geldof praise for G8

Having released their own separate media statements in response to the disappointing G8 communique, War on Want and the World Development - 2 UK based development NGOs who have been uneasy about the way in which Make Poverty History has been co-opted by the government and its celebrities - were so disgusted by the Bono and Geldof press conference that they issued a joint statement in condemnation. The question is: why it is only these 2 NGOs who have the guts to come out and speak truth to power?video - boogie on the bridge - reclaim the street party

Letter to my local newspaper
09-07-2005 13:06
This is a letter that I have sent to my local paper after my week at the G8. My purpose was to try and inform people at a local level about the G8 protests and hopefully get people asking questions rather than believing all that they are fed by the media. Perhaps we should all be taking action at a local level?G8 debriefs

Think it would be really good idea to come together really soon to debrief and document our mobilisations in Scotland....We must collectively share and learn from our experiences so we can take forward good tactics and drop our modify those that nolonger work.
