Ireland: G8 summit begins amidst protests



At least 32 people have already been arrested in the protests in London (England). 

The World's Government agenda is focused on Syria, Iran and Korea, as well as the highly destructive "free trade" agreements that are being negotiated and signed all over the place.

Mapping the corporate 'pirate nests'

Among the many protest activities in Great Britain and Ireland against the G8 summit, a quite interesting one is the online tool Mapping the Corporations, which offers the ability of geographically mapping the headquarters of many, if not all, major corporations, particularly in London.

England: 32 people arrested in an anti-G8 protest

Police attacked a building occupation in Soho (Westminster, central London), which was part of ongoing protests against the upcoming G8 summit in Enniskillen (British-occupied Ireland), arresting 38. 

The occupants displayed banners reading G8 no!, while in nearby streets protesters marched with signs reading things like peaceful protest.

By law, the occupants could not be evicted without a judicial order, however police ignored the law again and evicted the occupation without awaiting for the formality, using a mere search order instead. 

The arrested have been charged with the typical police abusive kind of stuff: public disorder or even possession of cutting weapons (utility knives surely).

The government justified the repression on the pretext that, while there is a right to peaceful demonstration, Westminster shop workers and tourists have the right to walk through the center of the city without intimidation and interference.

London is full of policemen these days.
