SWP condemn direct action in run up to G8 visit

The Socialist Workers Party's (SWP) condemnation of a popular action against Labour politician Ken Livingstone at the recent European Social Forum (ESF) in London marks a significiant move to the right for the SWP. It is a deliberate attempt to help the state demonise and criminalise direct action in the run up to the G8's visit to Scotland next year.

GR Scotland tries to capitalise on disruption

This message is being circulated by Gill Hubbard. I don't know why I

What do you think of the new G8 logo?

The new logo unveiled for the planned G8 Gleneagles summit next summer has been described as a thistle with a "modern twist".

The Scottish Executive believes the design - which cost £40,000 - has captured traditional and contemporary images of the country. The summit at the Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire in July 2005 will be the main event of the UK's presidency.

But is the logo an adequate reflection of the UK's role? Do you agree it reflects Scotland's traditional and contemporary image? Has it been worth the money?

Invitation to the Dissent! Network Gathering in Edinburgh 17th - 19th September

The G8 (Group of eight most industrialised nations) Summit will be held at Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, about 40 miles/70 kilometres away from Edinburgh, in Scotland from 6-8th of July 2005. In past years, everywhere they have tried to meet they have been met with a massive response from the world's social movements. Now, in Britain, a network of groups and individuals is emerging that resists the Summit, and forms a lasting movement against capitalism.

The next Dissent! Gathering will take place in Edinburgh on 17th-19th September 2004.

Activists at Gleneagles protest against G8 summit 2005

protest at Gleneagles train station 1. The leaders of the eight richest nations despite being of various political shades come together in a unified effort to serve the rich against the people of their own countries as well as the people of the world.

2. So a strong message of disapproval and dissent must be sent to the G8 leaders but if they do insist on coming, the offense must not be compounded by infringment of the liberties and rights of the people.

3. But if these gangsters do get to meet to fine-tune their strategy of exploitation, we can assure you that the downtrotten and oppressed will gather to show their dissent against the current vicious exisiting order and to show their power to reshape society to be more just.
