Remember Philip Willan,(
mc3390@mclink.it) The Blairian's Rome correspondant, well he's at it again, here's today's effort on the call to hand over tapes and images of the demonstrators. Bad effects on journalists, "journalists will be increasingly identified as part of the problem rather than as professionals who try to record what is happening. And this is very dangerous." Good!
Here's some links to his previous unsubtle meanderings, think it must be time for The Blairian management to get him out of there, clearly not up to the job.

"The unacceptable face of protest
The scenes witnessed at the G8 summit in Genoa raise some serious questions about the future of the anti-globalisation movement, writes Philip Willan
Having watched the trashing of Genoa from a safe distance, in Rome, I might have expected to reflect on the events there over the weekend with dispassionate calm. Instead, I have been surprised at the virulence of the feelings of disgust, anger and bellicosity that the violent images arouse.
And they haven't been directed at the police, despite plentiful evidence of their wholesale brutality. What has struck me is the singular impenitence of the leaders of the Genoa Social Forum (GSF), who organised the anti-G8 rallies and created the circumstances that led to the city's devastation"

Capturing dissent
Italian directors to film G8 summit in Genoa
"The government has launched a charm offensive to stifle any potential anarchist violence at the summit through a strategy of attention...The government hopes its assurances that dissent will enjoy a high visibility in Genoa will eliminate the protesters' desire to drive home their point with violence." hmmmmmm
How should we approach individuals like tis who write such awful crap? Are they at fault as individuals or just products of the system? should we try and "talk them round" individually?, harass them? or target their employers and owners?
Q. Who owns The Blairian? (serious answers please)
