G8 press accrediation refused to freelance journo

London based freelance journalist and film maker with an assignment to cover the G8 summit in Scotland has been refused press accrediation after vetting by police. No reason or justification has been given for the refusal which could easily been seen as state interference in freedom of expression under article 10 of the human rights act.

The journalist involved has no convictions and is a full member of the NUJ who had applied for official press accreditation to attend press conferences at the G8 summit over a month ago.

Around 3,000 journalists are expected to attend the G8 summit where they will out number delegates by two to one. The journalists who will attend have been hand picked by the state.

Stay tuned to indymedia for something other than corporate state sanctioned celebrity obsesed press coverage of the G8. Read more >>

Loving the crowd and its unique power. Take it be it give it

Crowd dynamics are one of the most unused tools of the protest movement and one to which the police pay most attention.
Our understanding of our 'crowd' and the dynamics we individually bring to it can help tactically in actions and demos. Or it may see you get in a hell of a ruck with the Millwall, West Ham or Yeovil. You will be aware where the most pressing need for kaos is. Viva la resisdance
