And the fake 'black bloc' ???

Hi,

It's really great to see your perceptions turning up on Indymedia UK - don't think I've seen your stuff there before.

One point - you didn't mention anything about the various reports implying that 'psuedo black bloc' thugs were operating from behind police lines and emanating from Italian police stations - also the reports that these people were the only ones besides the police that were armed.

This surely requires further deep investigation if we are to fully realise 'fairness and accuracy in reporting' don't you think? This seems to me to be the fundamental issue that will decide how future mass protests are conducted.
