This is an updated listing of some of the reports posted around the European Social Forum and the Autonomous Spaces in London, October 2004.
This is an updated listing of some of the reports posted around the European Social Forum and the Autonomous Spaces in London, October 2004.
There were still serious problems with the Indymedia webserver after the seizure of the servers in London, so many people had problems posting reports. If you have unublished reports of events please post them to Indymedia or to the text reporting database @
http://www.efcr2004.net/forum-comment - Also the London Social Forum now has a wiki set up ready to take write up from events that took place in or alongside the LETS Solidarity Village at http://www.londonsocialforum.org/wiki/solidarityvillagereport This listing is not complete, there's still a lot of content to come in and be tracked down - another updated version will be released at the start of November.
Don't hate the media - be the media!

FOLLOWING CONTROVERSY
A letter condemning the takeover of the ESF stage in protest against the lack of democracy of the ESF organsing process was published in the Guardian. It accuses protesters of being white anarchists, denies that the intervention had anything to do with the ESF process and implies a racial attack. Here are some of the letters and exchanges:
