I suggest you check out Indymedia UK, Harpy Marx (http://harpymarx.wordpress.com/author/harpymarx/), Infantile & Disorderly (http://www.infantile-and-disorderly.blogspot.com/) and Lenin's Tomb (http://leninology.blogspot.com/), if you haven't already.
This video from Indymedia is probably the best piece of reporting from the G20. Gordon Brown etc keep using phrases like "we will do whatever is necessary." Now we can be sure what they mean by that.

I don't believe the media or the police about the death of the protester. If he was illegally detained by the police in a crowded space for seven hours, surely we should wait for the results of a post mortem, to see if he did in fact die of natural causes. I certainly don't believe protesters hampered rescue or resuscitation efforts. Remember Harry Stanley and John Charles de Menezes. (I don't mean that they were shot. I mean the lies the police told and how happy the media were to circulate those lies.)
Well done to all the protesters. You have kept the spotlight on the impact this crisis of capitalism is having on ordinary people.

Dear Comrade
ReplyDeleteI didn't have an email address for you, so I hope you don't mind me leaving this here.
I'm writing to invite you to take part in the Carnival of Socialism. The Carnival has been bringing a fortnightly round up of everything that's going on in the global socialist blogosphere for the last three years, and draws from a wide and eclectic mix of blogs. It has had the added bonus of helping the blogging left become a more cohesive and welcoming place, as well as delivering more audiences to the blogs that have already taken part.
But the Carnival needs your help. We are looking to expand the number of volunteers beyond a core group of 'usual suspects'. Previous Carnivals are located on its dedicated blog at http://carnivalofsocialism.blogspot.com to give you an idea of what hosting a carnival entails. We have sessions booked up until 26th April but need volunteers for dates after then. So how about it?
If you would like to sign up for a Carnival, know someone who might, or have any other questions about it please drop me a line at philbc03 at yahoo.com
Socialist Greetings,
Phil BC (A Very Public Sociologist)
