[IMC-UK-Features] Change to Social Centres Feature ?

[wietse]

Hiya,

I was wondering if we could move the following text of the social centre 
feature from the abstract into the article body:

          "  They have however been experiencing violent attacks from 
anonymous cowards. There have been quite a few reports of attacks on 
autonomous spaces recently. In Greece there have been heavy police 
repression and fascist arson attacks against autonomous space (more). In 
Amsterdam, the Citex squat was attacked and illegally evicted by Police. 
Just a few days ago in Rome, fascists were caught planting a bomb in the 
front yard of the Loa Acrobax social centre. The tide turned briefly 
during action days for autonomous spaces in Berlin. Hundreds of people 
from Berlin and elsewhere went on the offensive and instigated six days 
of diverse and often militant action. In a city which has one of the 
harshest anti-squatting policies in Europe (the Berlin Line - where 
squats can be evicted immediately and brutally) people showed they were 
undaunted and defiant. (more) "

Although I think news regarding other social spaces in Europe is 
important, the abstract seems huge and could maybe made relevant to just 
the UK.

Cheers, Wietse
