Indymedia UK ESF NEWSBLAST

There were still serious problems with the Indymedia webserver after the
seizure of the servers in London, so many people had problems posting
reports. If you have unublished reports of events please post them to
Indymedia or to the text reporting database
@ http://www.efcr2004.net/forum-comment - Also the London Social Forum now
has a wiki set up ready to take write up from events that took place in or
alongside the LETS Solidarity Village at
http://www.londonsocialforum.org/wiki/solidarityvillagereport

This listing is not complete, there's still a lot of content to come in and
be tracked down - another updated version will be released at the start of
November.

Don't hate the media - be the media!

FOLLOWING CONTROVERSY

A letter condemning the takeover of the ESF stage in protest against the
lack of democracy of the ESF organsing process was published in the
Guardian. It accuses protesters of being white anarchists, denies that the
intervention had anything to do with the ESF process and implies a racial
attack. Here are some of the letters and exchanges:

Different Paths Emerge
Oct 25
The third European Social Forum appears to mark the end of the "love story"
between grassroots social movements and the international gatherings that
are now in vogue. In any case, discontent in both camps - the activists and
the official organisers - will leave a mark on future events.

put pressure on their governments to halt regional trade agreements between
the European Union and developing countries.

NGOs Face a Constitutional Test

The European constitution emerged as a less emotive but more immediate
issue than Iraq during the three-day European Social Forum that concluded

The meeting on 'The Faultline in British Politics' at the opening of the
European Social Forum in London Friday came to resemble at least a little
the frontline in Iraq. Civil society seemed at civil war.
