The main day that's been organised for months by the 'Stop G8' meetings is over and in my and lots of other peoples' opinion it was a disasterous event for a whole host of reasons.

We really need to have a look at why this was, and that's going to involve some tricky talks and good long soul searching and self criticism as I think it wasn't really down to police repression at all, but our uselessness at organising and our refusal to listen to people that were passing sensible warnings and bits of advice on to us in the run-up.
