G8 Great? Debt and the art of deception
It's all getting a bit weird... the lines are bing blured and the goal posts unclear. The PR machine throwing white wash and confussion into the mix as the G8 summit approaches. With climate change and African poverty apparently the key issues on the official agenda and the great and the good of planet celebrity all pledging support, and even corporations getting in on the game, it's no wonder people are getting confused.

G8 2005: Why Are People Protesting?
Tony Blair recently said "it would be very odd if people came to protest against this G8... I don’t quite know what they’ll be protesting against" - a comment that underlies the way that the UK Government has been working to paint the G8 as a progressive force for good when it comes to tackling Climate Change, Poverty and Debt.
