19-10-2004 03:43
Ken Livingstone's GLA Special Advisor on equality and policing, Lee Jasper, has accused the people who occupied the stage where the Mayor was due to speak at the ESF on Saturday, of being... 'white anarchists' who used violence to stop black people discussing how to fight racism and fascism!! He also claims that the intervention, or 'storming of the palace', had nothing to do with how the event was organised, despite problems in the organising process being a key point of many of the speakers who participated.Below is the letter which has appeared in the Guardian Letters Page (19th October) and a few comments:

Outfoxed screening 24 October in Cambridge
18-10-2004 23:59
Bouncing back from the mysterious removal and subsequent return of two of our servers by the FBI, and fresh from running a media centre in London to coincide with the European Social Forum, local couch potatoes will be showing the film "Outfoxed" this Sunday (24th) at the Geldart, 7.30 pm. This film examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a race to the bottom in television news, and explores Murdoch's burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one corporation.

MY ESF EXPERIENCE
18-10-2004 23:01
Concern has been expressed about the lack of reports of what the ESF was like and what kind of talks there were.... so there's a demand for this. That's why I put the title in capital letters so that it stands out amongst all the other articles. Hope that's ok :-)This was my ESF, tell us about yours :-)

18-10-2004 22:20
At the end of September, 115 politicians and foreign policy experts signed a letter that was delivered to the heads of NATO and European Union States. The letter criticized Russian President, Vladimir Putin's recent moves to end Democratic process in Russia. One of the recipients of the letter was George Bush, jr. As a man who has moved to end Democratic process in his own country, it would have been very hypocritical of Bush to condemn Putin for his actions. Consequently the only rebuke was Bush stating that he hopes Putin does not abandon Democracy upheld by checks and balances within the Russian government, but even this was ironic.Anti-Capitalist Action! 5th-6th November 2004

As someone who attended the demo this Sunday, but, as someone who didn't see the ensuing ruck on and in front of the stage afterwards (due to the fact it was sheeting down with rain and I was very tired, wet and hungry), I wasn't in the slightest bit surprised by the events that unfolded as I read about them afterwards.Hard drive seizure - photographing the photographers

Indymedia Seizure question in Parliament by Birmingham MP Lynne Jones
18-10-2004 19:38
A parliamentary question has just been asked by Lynne Jones MP for Selly Oak, Birmingham. I'm not sure who suggested that she ask the question or if she may have asked it spontaneously. (She's not my MP, and I don't actually vote - I'm not eligible to vote.)
