[Imc-uk-features] [FEAT] London and Glasgow: Brown's 'Bombs'?

[ana]

This post evidences a substantial misunderstanding/misconception of
Indymedia - Indymedia is "not" a discussion forum, it is supposed to be
a "news site". If we ever needed any "evidence of life out there" that
would be in the forms of reports of actions or reports of corporate and
government misbehaviour that you do not find in the mainstream media.
Not a storm of rants.

Which we do get by the way, but maybe they don't make it to the middle
column because we don't have time? It might help if the rants writers
dedicated their time to contribute to the indymedia work instead of eat
away moderators' time.
