[IMC-UK-Features] harmondsworth4 feature

[ionnek]

hi beetle, 
i've checked the previous few startpage specials, most are what i described, or
local imc collectives inviting people to participate, or sudden evictions etc.
The last one was the sea sheppard feature. 
The other things are the "ticker" and "breaking news". both appear on top of the
page with short snippets, they don't have "content", only "abstract". So i
guess that doesn't make sense. 

Personally, I think "really new news" are marked enough by being on top of the
startpage, but since nobody seems to feel strongly about this, it's fine with
me to post these news as startpage special.
And anyway, it's a great feature so far!
