G20 London - what the f***'s going on?
Ldn | 19.02.2009 19:35 | G20 London Summit
Can someone post a list of the demos so far publically announced please?
As this is one of the most important dates in the London calendar and as the times are heating up, the response by radicals so far has been crap, no?
Seems to be the liberal PUT PEOPLE FIRST mass demo SAT 28th FEB

Details coming soon for radical/militant action
19.02.2009 22:46
Meetings have taken place organising a mass convergence in the city of London, targeting the financial institutions that uphold economic policies and the capital itself. Details and a press release coming soon, next week word has it. The organising has been late, not crap, as the g20 date was only agreed late last year. Since then meetings have devloped as fast as possible. Calls for action have already been announced in France and abroad for example.
It might seem like there has been silence from radicals, anti-authoritarians and anarchists alike as a lot is going on under the surface. This will all be revealed next week as other groups echo the call(s) for action (that's an incentive to write one on behalf of your group).
There's also this link, not sure of the relevance though http://www.g-20meltdown.org

Financial fools day - Climate Camp in the City
20.02.2009 09:55
G20 leaders' London Summit. Join us!
Climate camp 2009 /// Stopping carbon markets /// Because nature doesn't
do bailouts.
First the city traders speculated with our homes, jobs and money – with
disastrous results. Now they are speculating with our climate and the
very future of life on earth – and once again our governments are
cheering them on.
By creating a brain-bending system of carbon pollution licenses, fossil
fuel companies and trading firms have found a way to keep on churning
out global warming gases and to reap huge windfall profits at the same
time. Meanwhile, the UK government is justifying a third runway at
Heathrow and a coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth by saying that
these new “carbon trading” schemes will magically make all their
emissions vanish.
They are handing control of our climate over to the same people and
systems that caused the financial collapse. All the workable and fair
alternatives aren't getting a look-in.
We need to stop this foolishness.
We've camped against the Heathrow runway, we've camped against the
Kingsnorth coal power station. Now its time to camp against the
over-arching problem: absolute faith in unfettered markets and endless
economic growth. On April 1st the G20 leaders arrive in London. At a
time of climate crisis their response to the market meltdown is
emergency loans to car manufacturers, increased spending to encourage
consumption, and bailouts for the very people who got us into this mess
- just the things that will make the climate crisis worse.
Don’t let them get away with it: join our camp in the Square Mile!
Gather at noon, April 1st, at the European Climate Exchange, Hasilwood
House, 62 Bishopsgate, EC2N 4AW. Bring a pop-up tent, sleeping bag, wind
turbine, mobile cinema, action plans and ideas...let’s imagine another
world.
Don't let the financial and fossil fools make the rules!
