Correcting the media narrative of the G20 protests on April 1, 2009

07-04-2009 22:27

The media coverage of the G20 protests has been systematically biased, writes Musab Younis - ignoring the violent policing, the tactic of open-air imprisonment of demonstrators, and the real chronology of events. “It has taken remarkable obedience by the press,” writes Musab, “to refuse to ask some simple and obvious questions.”

The Metropolitan Police have apologised to journalists and photographers for abusing Section 14 of the Public Order Act when they moved a group of them away from covering an operation at the memorial demo for the late Ian Tomlinson on 2nd April at Bank tube station. It has now been confirmed through witness statements that Ian Tomlinson died as a result of the repressive policing on April 1st. The police and the media have attempted to coverup the fact that Tomlinson was killed as a result of the policing on that day. Police also injured members of the press on Wednesday 1st April, resulting in a broken arm and torn ligaments for two photographers.

What Obama's Trip to Europe Revealed

07-04-2009 03:45

Declaring something a success doesn’t necessarily make it so. We learned this at the Bush-led G-20 summit only four months ago, when global leaders were expected to do something far-reaching in response to the world-wide economic crisis, instead of chatting about it. When nothing came of the meeting, we were told that the summit “succeeded” because it “laid the groundwork” for the next G-20 gathering, recently led by Obama.

The four months between G-20 summits was one of rising massive unemployment and social misery for millions of people, creating an urgency that was unmet by the world leaders in London.

05-04-2009 18:56

A small minority of bankers clearly intent on disruption and provoking others into radical action were spotted parading their placards around central London on the Put People First demo on Sat. 28th March 2009 . The eight executives were there to add a dose of market rationality to this otherwise wide-eyed collective of 40,000 dreamers demanding Jobs, Justice and Climate. The bankers' message was clear: Leave it to the Market.

Police Aggravate Peaceful G20 Climate Camp in the City of London

04-04-2009 14:17

The relationship between Police and public demonstrators continues to be strained, as events surrounding London's G20 Summit boiled over. With little or no real dialogue over public safety between law enforcement and the public, one can only ask- is this the shape of things to come?
