Somebody did an anti-G8 banner across a footbridge in Bristol and that is promoted - did you read what that crew did in Ireland ? Cos they are Irish ? That'll be news to Karen fae Faslane. I'm not dissing the Bristol banner, I like to see that stuff as I'm walking by, but it isn't really activist news, it's not really inspirational or effectual is it ? It's not even graffitti, just a banner with no people. Promoted above this.
Try to give the real activists a bit of support in future - it has been sadly missing.
