[Imc-uk-features] critical mass videos hidden

[jagmad at riseup.net]

The reason they are news now is because there is a House of Lords appeal
pending which will directly affect policing of London Critical Mass, plus
other policing issues which are raised from time to time on the CM
discussion list, including the SOCPA review.

Obviously riots and strikes do have a more immediate appeal than long
drawn out struggles but the latter often achieve more in the end.

I think you will find that several valuable resources will be moved
elsewhere in future, due to the increasingly stringent interpretation of
editorial guidelines. Fortunately it is possible to get to them if one is
quick enough, before admin clamps down. It is not so bad with hiddens
because they are still viewable but unticks and outright removals are much
more of a problem.

Yes I could have added a bit of text and reposted the item but since I
have ceased helping out IMCUK I really don't see why I should.
