Thousands joined the protest outside the Libyan Embassy this evening, before marching on Downing Street.. The Socialist Worker reports that 10 coaches travelled from Manchester alone, and that some protestors have declared that they will spend the night outside the Embassy. More joined protests outside Downing Street.
Message to Gadaffi from Downing Street protest
Protests have been held on a daily basis since Sunday, and plans are afoot for the largest yet on Sunday 27th Feb, if Gadaffi manages to hold onto power for that long. This afternoon Qadaffi made another appearance on Libyan State TV. In a rambling speech he called on his supporters to attack the pro-democracy protestors and vowed to die a martyr. Declaring that "Libya wants glory, Libya wants to be at the pinnacle, at the pinnacle of the world", he again accused the west of providing mind-altering drugs to the protestors.
Later students at London School of Economics occupied the Senior Common Room in protest at the links between the university and the Gaddafi regime. Although LSE suspended its Libya funded programmes yesterday, the students are demanding that the funding that LSE received should be returned "to the people of Libya".
Yesterdays protest outside the Embassy saw the Libyan flag removed and replaced with the Libyan Independence Flag.
Hizb ut-Tahrir turned up at Sunday's protest, and such was the displeasure of the protesters, that police cordoned off a seperate area for them.
Tomorrow's protest will start from 3pm outside the Libyan Embassy 15 Knightsbridge London SW1X 7LY

Revolution is coming

The Society of the Muslim Brothers الإخوان will soon be taking control and saving the people from the dicatator Muʿammar al-Qaḏḏāfī - praise be to God.
As the Western and Zionist backed dogs fall across the lands of Allah (Allāhu Akbar) we see the people crying out for the hand of the Brotherhood to guide them and help them.
The revolution can also come to England, embrace your Muslim brothers, come to Islam.
Subhan-Allah !

We must choose well who we support

Libya has a unique political system which combines Socialism, Islam, and the revolutionary philosophy of Moamer al-Kaddhafi. The 1977 constitution created an Islamic Socialist state, and the government is designed to allow the greatest possible popular involvement, through a large congress and smaller secretariats and committees. There is a General People's Congress (GPC) of 1,112 members that elects a secretary general who is intended to be head of state. The GPC is serviced by a general secretariat, which is Libya's nearest equivalent to a legislature. The executive organ of the state is the General People's Committee, which replaces the structure of ministries that operated before the 1969 revolution. There are also Local People's Congresses in towns and rural regions. The Arab Socialist Union (ASU) has won every election since the revolution indicating the support of the people for the Islamic Socialist state.
Those who have been instigating the violence are likely to be counter revolutionary Zionist backed forces seeking to instill a Western friendly regime who will steal the people's owned natural resources.

" rumours concerning police infiltration of IMC-UK are true "

Once the new sites are up and running and the Mayday site becomes an outlet for Stormfront as everyone expects it to be then the 'real' Indy can get back to the roots of the project.

Perhaps...

How hiding them proves IMC uk is infiltrated is harder to work out. I shouldn't think the cops have any interest in the comments at all
half asleep
Indymedia UK, what on Earth happened ?

perhaps they don't really care who does moderation as long as it is done with respect for the editorial guidelines,
perhaps they don't like any comments that suggest an alternative view dismissed as 'disinformation',
perhaps they find Holocaust denial being defended at odds with the ethos of the Indymedia project
perhaps they find being lied to over IP logging distasteful
perhaps they find the talk of a 'fork' so that nobody uses the word 'split' childish and irrelevant
perhaps they gave up reading and contributing to the site months ago and have moved on to other types of electronic media that IMCisters sneer at.

So why did you do it then?
You're either a fool or a troll
or both
half asleep
To put you straight
23.02.2011 15:53
Please do not fall into the easy response of calling everybody who has a view different to yours a 'troll' it's very boring and simply shows how you are unable to engage with the argument.
If you care about Indy I suggest you take the time to become involved, like I have, with one of the local IMC projects. They don't share the UK sites' 'eccentric' views on Jews, 9/11, Palestine and the rest. Try joining us and becoming involved in an Indy project that's actualy relevant to the scene.
or
is a good start.

Theres another thread on Libya which is linked to from the front page on uk.
Why not post your comments there where the uk mods can't do anything about them?
