Evolution and changes to IMC UK
Indymedia has come a long way since the tear gas and rubber bullets of Seattle. There are over 100 indymedia sites all over the world and numerous offshoots ding free radio, print media, and video projects.Indymedia UK which was launched two years after indymedia.org has itself under gone massive changes since it underwent a radical decentralization and divided itself into regions. Each of these regions has it's own autonomous collective and in many cases they have spawned new alternative media projects in print, radio, and video.

A Timely Reminder...Duplicity Reigns!
It seems wholly appropiate in this G8 week to make musical comment on our illustrious 'World Leaders'. Even more so, given the events of the last day or so.
So here, for your delectation is a little tune wot I wrote a year or so back, telling you exactly what I think of careerist politicians.

Transport to Scotland still available
Seats are still available on a Midlands coach to the G8 summit protests. If you really care about the many problems caused by corporate greed, get yourself up to Scotland and let Bush & Blair know what you think of their policies!!Make Poverty History July 2nd Demo - An Eyewitness Report
After an epically long overnight Coach journey, (which incidentally didn't get surveillance from Cops Inc. at its drop off point), we arrived in Edinburgh for what I suspect may prove to be one of the biggest public demonstrations in the city's history.Pen-in solidarity photos, 1st July

Borders at the G8
G8 countries spearhead the world system of borders; a system which renders many people illegal and which leaves all of us divided. Restrictions on our movement, restrictions on our right to work, restrictions on our right to receive medical treatment or legal aid or any other social benefit are all standard. What's more these restrictions are largely based on the arbitrary notion of nationality and on its ugly twin: race.

G8 Bribery
The mainstream media’s response to the announcement that the G8 had agreed to cancel $40 billion dollars in debt for eighteen countries in third world, mainly African, was of sheer awe at the magnanimous generosity of the leaders of the world’s richest nations, who had found it in their loving, Christian hearts to offer a favor to the childish and confused citizens of Africa.Direct Action Training, 18th June
