Saturday 17th January

One of the targets for the shoe throwing...

Managed to get a few more people to speak this time.

And here we are in action.

Wahey, knocked over Ehud Olmert!

And EDO...

Quite a few people brought shoes. They're being sent to the Israeli Embassy.

Posing for a press shot, with our MPs in the middle.

There were loads of other chalk messages; thought I'd leave you with this one.

Around 100 people turned up over the course of the 2 hours, including two local MPs - Terri Teverson and Julia Goldsworthy. That's a lot of people for a small Cornish town in January, especially considering it wasn't a rave. We leafletted, chatted with people - the overwhelming majority of passers-by were supportive - held silences, had a number of people speaking, and threw shoes (see below; all the shoes are now being posted to the Israeli embassy.) £192 was raised for the Red Cross Gaza Appeal, and there was enthuseam to keep the momentum going for future campaigns. E-mail me to get involved.

They delete stuff like nowhere else on Indymedia UK.

I did just post a friendly message in a post by the Smash EDO campain to find out the topic was removed along with an other one from them in the newswire.

Reason unknown.

I answered a post by someone in a topic. I later fround out that post the I answered was removed. Mine was still there but seems to be rather out of context now.

Reason unknown.

I am just beginning to wonder whether it's not done on purpose to discourage people from posting and participating.

What is going on dudes ?
