[Imc-uk-features] Declarations online

[ana]

Hi,

Thanks for your query but, as Indymedia is open publishing, the idea is 
that you publish this article yourself. Go to www.indymedia.org.uk,

and click on the button that says "publish your news" on the top right 
hand side.

If you have problems, please email imc-uk-tech ______ lists.indymedia.org

Thanks!
