An original posting by underclassrising/sheffield regarding Climate Camp was Edited and then removed with no explanation.
On the 27th July a Posting was created to discuss CLimate Camp actions form a radical workers point of view, (Fair enough) but mainly castigating Climate Campers for having names like Theo and Tasmin. It also called for a protest on the 27th Aug. It was explicately anti-middle Class.
I commented on this as had 2 others, mostly negative. I commented in the early hours of Monday Morning at about 3 30 am.
I checked in to Indymedia around midday to see the origonal post from underclass rising had been sanitized, and a very long comment (From Bob form Sheffiled ) actually far longer than the origonal article about why environmentalism was a class issue.
A comment was then posted about 1315 asking for clarification on Indymedia's policy of allowing re-jigging of artivcles and deletion of comments. Do some people have privaleged access to Indymedia? This is important. Imagine the BNP posted a racist article, saw negative comments and then reposted an article similar in content celebrating British Culture, deleting the embarassing original article revealing their true nature...
Now it appears their is no post to do with Class and Climate Camp at all.
We need Openess on Indymedia, Please explain.
