G20: another version of the truth

http://underclassrising.net/ | 20.04.2009 15:27

This is an attempt to compile a comprehensive narrative about the situation around Royal Exchange when Ian Tomlinson was assaulted, and subsequent events, referenced to photos, videos and eyewitness accounts. It is still very much a work in progress, and will be updated frequently as additional material is located.

In the early evening of April 1st, on Lombard Street , where

links as references?

I applaud what you are trying to do, but what you have here is more a pile of links than a narrative.

How about actually constructing a narrative and using the links as references?

The original version of this article -

http://www.lasthours.org.uk/news/g20-another-version-of-the-truth/ - does just that, so you might want to visit there? Not sure why but the version that's been copied across here to Indymedia is seriously truncated.

Plagiarism and the bandwagon

21.04.2009 00:15

Yes, underclassrising frequently resort to plagiarism, nothing new there. Can't help but wonder why they are jumping on the G20 bandwagon at this late stage after slagging off all those who organised and participated as being middle class liberals. Assuming underclassrising weren't complete hypocrites and stayed away themselves after encouraging others to, it seems strange that they want to write so much about it now as if they were somehow involved.
