Dublin Mayday - Freelance Article on Press Propaganda (unpublished)
20-04-2004 19:36
Mark Paul, a freelance journo in Ireland, pitched an article about the media bias in the run up to the EU Mayday in Dublin. In the end it wasn't run, so he published it on Irish Indymedia: http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=64470

20-04-2004 11:24
Interesting / off plot article from The Scotsman on the demise of the autonomous big London Mayday demo reflecting the demise of the anti-capitalist movement - ahem. Since of course the london mayday demos were the high point of the movement :-) well anyway, their analysis of numbers demonstrating post 911 is simply not true, they fail to mention the big mobilisations just last year in 2003, like 100,000 people marching and blockading in Geneva against the G8, the 2-300,000 who gathered for the Lezarc "the world is not for sale" festival in France, and the other hundreds of thousands who protested at the EU summit Thessaloniki, the WTO summit in Cancun, the FTAA protests in Miami... or for that matter the 120,000+ who met to discuss alternatives at the World Social Forum in Mumbai, and the 100,000 or so at the Paris European Social Forum... and so on and so on. It seems newspapers keep running the same story each year, but the reality on the ground speaks against this. The rest of the article is interesting, but I'd also say some way off the mark.Oh yeah, and OF COURSE they don't mention EU Mayday in Dublin.

The campaigns against Bayer and GM have claimed a major success as we continue our struggle to protect the UK against genetically modified crops. On 31st March Bayer announced that they will not commercialise their GM maize Chardon LL in the UK. This comes only weeks after the Government gave partial approval for the growing of this crop. The reason given by Bayer is that the climate of public opinion makes it economically unviable to grow it in the UK at the present time.GATS Meeting in Cambridge
