Quite an amazing new website from Lothian and Borders Police.
Which while it deals with policing enquiries and potential road closures and announces a new G8 info telephone number, it also heavily promotes the Make Poverty History demonstration in Ediburgh the weekend before the G8 Summit.
Amazing!

The faslance base 'source' is quoted as saying "We’re used to this sort of thing but the people planning it are not the ordinary peaceful protesters" - maybe they should tell Trident Ploughshares, CND and Scottish CND who are, as usual, planning the blockade!
Article also covers the G8Alternatives international organising meeting that has been going on in Scotland this weekend.
