London Indymedia Is Back Up Online!

11-01-2009 17:10

Sorry by So gesehen
We are so sorry about the downtime and the loss of media, we can't even tell you how sorry we are. A lot of things came together to make this happen and we spent the beginning of the year feeling extremely stupid. We are specially sorry for all the contributors that have been posting to the site, and for all the groups that had created their 'Group' pages. Be reassured that we have done our best to ensure that this doesn't happen again.

Netcu Watch // The cult of the killer ape.

11-01-2009 16:28

This is the year in which Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday will be celebrated and the 150th anniversary of his “the Origin of Species” one of the most important books ever written. Evolution, the transmogrification of primordial slime into dogs, cats, humans and everything else is surely proof that we are all interconnected and indeed transient as species adapt and change. In fact if time on Earth (itself one planet among billions) were condensed into one year humans would arrive at 23.45 on New Year’s Eve.

Smoke bombs and scuffles behind Israeli Embassy

11-01-2009 13:25

The demo leaving Hyde Park - it's the biggest demo I've seen since 2003
Yesterday on the Palestinian solidarity demonstration the crowd stopped outside the entrance to Kensington Palace Gardens on Bayswater Road at about 3pm. It seemed to be an attempt to get to the Israeli Embassy from behind - and where there was a very thin police presence. Below is a photo report of what happened. More information relating to the protest, it's repercussions and other photos will be put on the Last Hours website ( http://www.lasthours.org.uk) during the coming week.

Thousands Rally and March in Washington, D.C. to 'Let Gaza Live'

11-01-2009 09:35

Today I participated in ANSWER's march and rally, "Let Gaza Live" in Washington, D.C. Attendance was excellent despite the weather. Among the many friends in attendance, I met a young man and his daughter who had come all the way from Greensboro, North Carolina to participate. The crowd was one of the most diverse that I have ever seen. I think our message is reaching deep into our country's heartland. Here are my remarks:
