Hello London

During DSEi the London newswire was crammed full of stories that had
nothing to do with London - I remeber there being talk of peeps having
days in which to clean the newswire - has this been happening.

Anyways - I have done a pretty major cull of London stories - and this
one is worth a discussion.

Although the press release is authored by Outrage! who have a PO Box in
London, it makes no mention of London whatsoever, and is purely about a
gay man being beaten in Iran.

Have we got clear guidelines on what makes a story "London" and what
doesn't?  Is it sufficient to have a London PO Box? Had there been a
call for a London demo, I wouldn't have hidden it but there was nothing
about London at all. Surely then it is more appropriate for the uk and
world pages?

What do others think?
