One week ago at the ferry station in Liverpool going to Belfast we were interrogated for 45 minuites about our intentions on going to ireland. The police asked us if we were involved in protests, what causes we felt strogly about, where we were staying in belfast and if we were going to the G8 protests. The policeman was being very friendly the whole time, joking with us and pretending he was just curious. They searched our bags and then they cofiscated hard drives, usb sticks, camera, notebooks and maps under the Terroism Act 2000. There should not be an official record of political activity associated with us, with none of us having been convicted of a crime. They told us that we couldnt get our stuff back even if we didnt go to ireland.

Indymedia is not to be used by English nationalists to parade their nationalist fantasies at the expense of the people of Ireland.

If you knew the admin interface, you would know that it isn't difficult to promote an article instead of hiding it. But knowing nothing you can only come up with the assumption that Indymedia must be riddled with state loyalists......
It is not.
Now is your comment accurate? No
Is it news? No
Read the guidelines and operate within them or expect more of your paranoid nonsense to disappear in a puff of smoke (- unless some mod makes an error on the drop down box and promotes them by error.)
