Gleneagles 2005
The much-hyped `make poverty history` G8 summit in Gleneagles largely failed to reduce world poverty despite Sir Bob Geldof and St Bonos' fawning approval of Blair and Brown as the `Lennon and McCartney of poverty reduction`. The unelected G8’s slogans might as well be `Make democracy history` and `make poverty worse. ` Their job is to keep the rest of the world in absolute poverty while they gorge themselves on caviar and Dom Perignon in secluded luxury guarded by half the nation’s army and police force.

Here is a report of the 2005 demonstration in Gleneagles:
