londonfete reveals the "Plan C from Outer Space" (Croydon July 5th)

Plan "C" as in Croydon

For Freedom of Movement and Freedom To Protest!

On the 5th of July 2008, people all around the world will protest
against the G8 summit 2008 in Japan. Globalisation has created huge

It is time to join forces, for freedom of movement, the freedom to
protest and equal rights for all ! Read more >>
