video killed the radio star: faslane peace camp looking for films

faslance peace camp have sent out a bulletin asking for any videos of the may 2 – 4 faslane baws tae bombs punx piknik. if ya headed up there and took any photos or videos, let them know. i couldn’t make it as it was my flatmate’s birthday party and i was in charge of the margaritas, but i heard the bands were really good.

they are also organizing a ‘freedom to protest’ demonstration this sunday.

“A peaceful demonstration is planned to assert our right to freely protest without fear. It will be held at 12pm on the 18th of May at Parliament Square, as a response to the campaign of harassment and intimidation which Lothian and Borders Police is directing at peaceful protsters in Edinburgh. Such repression violates human rights and, if it continues, it will stifle popular participation in civil society. The demonstration is also in solidarity with the dozens of working class people who are oppressed by the Edinburgh ‘justice’ system every day.”
