Since IMC Bristol can't be bothered to copy and paste, here's the article -

Not only is the government cutting education, but within the university there is patriarchy, worsening conditions for staff, and a lack of democracy. As a way of beginning to fight back, Bristol University students have organised a 'week of action and events' leading up to the NUS National Demonstration taking place in London on 21st November (more details:  http://www.ubu.org.uk/voice/nusdemo2012/ ). The week's events aim to look at how to create democracy, equality and fairness in higher education, and how to oppose austerity measures inflicted upon us from above.

This has been organised as part of the Global Education Strike (  http://ism-global.net/call2action_GES ). The strike is being co-ordinated through the International Students Movement - a communication platform used by education activists worldwide.

Facebook event for the whole week:  http://www.facebook.com/events/294530640663472/

Truth hurts

Looks like Indy UK moderators don't like their readers seeing the truth about where most of their stories are coming from these days.

This is the hidden comment to this post.

And now some realism

This is not an Indymedia site. This site exists using a stolen internet address where there used to be a 'national' site, whatever that meant.

I would advise anyone to have nothing to do with it, as it doesn't adhere to the indymedia principles of unity, has a known antisemite and Holocaust denier as a prominent moderator and is totally unaccountable to the activist community it claims to serve.

Bristol Indymedia is a properly accredited member of the Indymedia family and has completed the 'New Indymedia' process unlike this site which had its application rejected because it stole the Internet address and locked out over half of the collective that was running it. The person who did this, 'Chris' has been running a parallel campaign to try and get another accredited real Indymedia (Northern England) closed down.

Choose carefully who you wish to be involved with, a real Indymedia such as Bristol or a stolen one such as this site which also steals the Bristol content and tries to pretend it is its own.

the idea of having a feed into uk imc is so no one has to copy & paste - people just have to click on the link...not too much effort really.
