The Guardian's bigging up the G20 protests, with a fair amount of scare-mongering for good measure. Still, they say that there's no such thing as bad publicity...


'a rumoured plan to block the Blackwall Tunnel and cause a security scare on the London Underground by leaving bags unattended on trains'- didn't the hacks report this sort of nonsense during the runup to the last climate camp. Still, never mind, if a story's ficticious enough to run once, its ficticious enough to run again.

The Grauniad is certainly makiing the G20 protests look like they'll be impressive. They talk about 'leading protest group The Government of the Dead'- although they didn't report any of their previous escapes.

But never mind, this sort of publicity (especially as they include the full itinery) is worth a few thousand flyers at least...
