Political Policing: Lothian Police Website Promoting Make Poverty History
a very surprised observer | 14.05.2005 03:16 | G8 2005 | Globalisation | London
Quite an amazing new website from Lothian and Borders Police.
Which while it deals with policing enquiries and potential road closures and announces a new G8 info telephone number, it also heavily promotes the Make Poverty History demonstration in Ediburgh the weekend before the G8 Summit.
Amazing!

http://www.lbp.police.uk/g8 The Police website carries info and an appeal from Mary Cullen, Chair of the Scottish Make Poverty History Coalition, to protest against 'the travesty that over 800 million people go to bed hungry every night'.
There's also a message from Lesley Hinds, Edinburgh's Lord Provost, in support of the Make Poverty History campaign and the protest in Edinburgh.
How nice... PR web support from the Political Progressive Police.
Quite unprecidented I think.
