Trying to make sense of the G20 protests
02-04-2009 15:01
There have been ominous signs (
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/feb/23/police-civil-unrest-recession) of it coming for some time but it seemed protesters were still unprepared for the level of police violence ( http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/04/426091.html) that was unleashed in London yesterday. The infamous kettling tactics of the British police have claimed their first life (
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/04/426078.html) and there are numerous reports of head wounds, crushing and unprovoked attack. Today the convergence centre and Ramparts have been raided ( http://london.indymedia.org.uk/articles/1002) by riot cops and there are reports of further arrests. When we attack capital the defenders of capital will hit back, viciously.

t appears that soon a Statement from the G-20 will be released; It will be presumably nothing more than tinkering with the Economic system. If the current global situation is to be changed, there must be more than measures to prop up the current capitalist system.Police raid convergnece centre and RampArt

There are plans to build a high level virus containment facility and animal testing lab in Kings Cross alongside St Pancras Eurostar. The lab could be a level 3 lab which means that it could contain deadly pathogens such as anthrax and bird flu. The lab has been criticised at govt level, by MI5, MPS, councillors, residents, local businesses, charities and animal rights activists.

Over 500 migrants are likely to have drowned crossing the mediterranean from Libya as two boats sank and a third is still missing . The true circumstances are unknown except to the migrants themselves .The Libyan authorities put responsibility on strong winds rather than on the border regime they are implementing on behalf of Italy and European governments and paid for by the taxpayers of Italy and of the European Union.

There are plans to build a high level virus containment facility and animal testing lab alongside St Pancras Eurostar. Foot and mouth disease was leaked from a similar govt faciltiy Pirbright in Surrey. Stop Camden Animal Lab is an inclusive campaign made from local people who are against the lab. Many are against it due to the very real threat of virus leak. Many people in Camden are against animal testing. We need a FREE meeting space that we can use.
