G8 Summit 2005: Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire, Scotland
Date 06 Jul - 08 Jul 2005
Start time 9:00 AM
Organiser Our Movement
In July 2005 the G8 will be meeting at Gleneagles in Scotland. This annual Summit has become the focus of the biggest and broadest demonstrations the world has ever seen. It is anticipated that as many as half a million people from all over the world will arrive in Scotland next summer.
The leaders of the eight richest nations despite being of various political shades come together in a unified effort to serve the rich against the people of their own countries as well as the people of the world.
So a strong message of disapproval and dissent must be sent to the G8 leaders but if they do insist on coming, the offense must not be compounded by infringment of the liberties and rights of the people.
But if these gangsters do get to meet to fine-tune their strategy of exploitation, we can assure you that the downtrotten and oppressed will gather to show their dissent against the current vicious exisiting order and to show their power to reshape society to be more just.
Scotland
A Scottish coalition, 'G8Alternatives' is under development to help with a co-ordinated response to the G8. Two meetings have been held so far in Edinburgh, the last one being attended by people representing a wide range of organisations and interests including NGOs, anti-capitalists, trade unionists and free party people. Details of the next meetings are below.
The main focus at the moment is to secure a large piece of land on which to build a 'Convergence Centre' where people can camp with access to clean drinking water and so on. We intend to bagsy a piece of land for the biggest free party ever in Scotland, but there are also plans for many other events, activities and facilities including Internet and email access, mobile phone charging points, alternative power sources, etc plus story telling, bouncy castles and other entertainment for kids.
from www.word-power.co.uk/events/EventStyle-73 cos im lazy and inarticulate.
Me and are going (hes me flatmate). I own a flat in Dundee (30 mins to perth by bus, 15 mins with me behind the wheel). If youre wanting to go then i can offer you free accomidation. I could take 6 ppl relatively comfortably. If more ppl's are needing accomidation, my bro lives in perth and ive a few mates who might be willing to put ppl up. Although joining a big city of tents would be c00l.
Anyone thinking bout going. Are ye part of any organisation? |
