the promoted newsire is excluding important news .. see below .. many people choose to have the promoted newswire as default as there is so much crap on the open newswire but they are missing out importent news

who and why is making these decisions? IMCistas IF you want IndyUK to represent ALL UK activism instead of what you determine it to be you are getting it wrong
