War on Want: G8 turn their backs on the world’s poor
The G8 have today betrayed the 1.1 billion people living in poverty across the world, and the millions who supported the Make Poverty History (MPH) campaign, says UK development NGO, War on Want.

Campaigners distance themselves from Geldof praise for G8
Having released their own separate media statements in response to the disappointing G8 communique, War on Want and the World Development - 2 UK based development NGOs who have been uneasy about the way in which Make Poverty History has been co-opted by the government and its celebrities - were so disgusted by the Bono and Geldof press conference that they issued a joint statement in condemnation. The question is: why it is only these 2 NGOs who have the guts to come out and speak truth to power?

Bono and Geldof praise G8 deal
As the G8 was busily consigning both Africa and the planet to the rubbish dump of history, and as NGOs sat with their heads in their hands, distraught over the terrible G8 communique, two reliable friends of Blair, Brown and Bush were putting on a stellar pro-G8 performance at the post-summit press conference at Gleneagles. Cue, Bob Geldof and Bono.

African Activists: Make Poverty History is being co-opted
Patrick Bond, Dennis Brutus and Virginia Setshedi argue that the celebrity chasing paternalism of Make Poverty History and the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) is an unwelcome retreat from the global democratic challenge to market-led globalisation.

Morning on the 6th July near Stirling. We see the M9 being blockaded by radical drummers who pile trees and rocks on the road. They move on when 9 Police vans turn up at high speed. But their exit into a field of cows starts a stampede. One protester is injured by. And the farmer turns up at high speed in his 4x4 and starts to threaten the protesters with a hammer. Police then run in to arrest just about everyone including the farmer.

Stirling campsite update
All morning, people have been allowed to leave on one by one basis on condition that they are searched, they give names, are filmed/photographed and have good excuse to leave (like catching a train). In the afternoon, two large groups (around 300) attempted to leave the campsite.

The BBC discussion was on the issue of allowing G8 protests.
general statement on police allowing G8 protest
i know this is the wrong space to publish this kind of mainstream statement, but i posted it on bbc "have your say"- while submitting it I realised that they wont publish it anyway. So, posting it here is kinda just to beat my frustration with the corporate media.The BBC discussion was on the issue of allowing G8 protests.

Global Warming 8 (GW8) was hosted by the unique coalition of the UK's leading aid and environment agencies, the Working Group on Climate Change and Development formed to fight the unprecedented threat climate change poses to human development. It offered a 'reality check' to the G8 heads of state as people from eight developing nations outline the devastating impact to be expected if climate change goes unchecked.
