As Bono and Geldof praise G8, NGOs say G8 deal is a "betrayal"

They've been privately fuming for months at the unnaccountable way in which celebrity campaigners like Bono, Geldof and Richard Curtis have consistently hijacked the Make Poverty History campaign and message.

Unprecedented police harrassment operation against Wombles

Since Friday 1 July, some 12,000 police officers from across the UK have been carrying out one of the largest and most successful operations against summit protesters ever experienced.

One activist group in particular has been targeted in an extreme way - the Wombles. This is the story of 'Operation Get Wombles', and incorporates yesterday's newswire post. It may contain some innaccuracies on numbers and times but the general thrust is correct.

A Timely Reminder...Duplicity Reigns!

It seems wholly appropiate in this G8 week to make musical comment on our illustrious 'World Leaders'.
