[IMC-UK-Features] [Imc-uk-process] Smash EDO Action Topic

[Roy Bard]

Hi

I have spoken to other campaighns who would like to see a page for
themselves as well.

Can I therefore add these as a friendly amendment :-)

URL: /en/actions/2008/fit
Title:FITwatch
Description: Reports on the campaign against the Forward Intelligence Team
and 'intelligence led' policing of protest.

URL: /en/actions/2008/agrexco
Title: Against Agrexco
Description: Reports on the campaign against the 50% Israeli state owned
importer of Israeli and settlement fresh produce.

PS EDO MBM are likely to have a name change soon.......

Best
