Disclaimer first.

It took this long to get these pictures to the Newswire simply because I shot so many (644 images), so it's taken quite some time to sift through them all and pick out the good stuff.

I'll be publishing them in several parts, as there is a lot of pictures to work through. They will also be in the order they were taken in each installment, so hopefully some kind of visual narrative will emerge as a result.

A very jewish confession

14-01-2009 21:09 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | Terror War | World

On the 9th of January an email was sent to thousands of jews around the country telling them that the Board of Deputies of British Jews had canceled the so-called 'Peace Rally' on the 12th. A copy of the email was posted on indymedia and quickly hidden, correctly identified as a hoax. Now indymedia can reveal the culprits were the satirical 'Jewdas' anti-culture group whom some might remember from a really weird and rammed event at the rampART social centre several years ago. Below is their confession...
