not entirely sure what you mean by an "indymedia slant on it" for this, as
i think it links in with previous features about destruction of the nhs by
the government and the back door introduction of privatisation into the
nhs. yes, there was a lot of corporate media there, but as for most other
protests, actual coverage in the news (at least that i have seen) has been
slim. i also think that, along with the imc posts, there is a lot of
independent information available on the web about the background that is
not being covered by corporate media and this also deserves to be
highlighted.

i will try to write something up later today. maybe you want to write up a
little about your experience of the demonstration as well for inclusion?
be good to get some viewpoints from outside the medical profession.
