02-11-2005 06:30

As you can see from these guidelines, your 28-year-old article violates at least two of them. It is "non-news" and "not Oxford-relevant". Please respect in future that this is a local news site, not a blog or a discussion forum.

Does oxford.indymedia censor religious criticism and science history ?

30-10-2005 23:32

I have noted my article,'The Pope's Misconceptions About Conception And Science History',went missing from oxford.indymedia news about as fast as I published there.It was first published,for the record,in September of 1987 when the pope visited San Francisco,California.The pope's visit,coincided,like a bad joke,with the bicentenial of the U.S. Constitution that supposedly,ha ha,allows for free speech and separation of church and state.

Request for photos of Geishas at the G8 summit

17-10-2005 18:12

MPH march, Edinburgh
Here a request for photos of the Geishas that were part of the protests at the G8 summit. The Make Poverty History march, the Faslane blockade or the first day of the summit in and around Stirling were some of the things in which the 'Geishas of Gaiety' were 'mingling in the masses'. Also other actions in Nottingham, Sheffield and Derby had Geishas, any photos of that would be great.

If anyone has photos, please get in touch at  notts@indymedia.org

The photos will be used in a feature article on Notts Indymedia and for a new website about the radical arts collective of which the Geishas are part of.

Just to remind you of what they looked like, some pictures:
