[IMC-UK-Features] Feature proposal: SHAC To Shakedown Financial Investors In The City

[phunkee]

Hi,

I think we could do with some clarification about some of the concerns 
you've articulated here.

Namely your objection to the use of 'notorious vivisectors' and 
proposing what you refer to as an 'alternative phrasing' of 'animal 
experimentation' as a more 'balanced view'.

You cite wikipedia as a source for 'animal experimentation', which seems 
at odds with your other concern about using dubious sources. I'd 
seriously reconsider whether Wikipedia's NPOV stance on any politically 
contested terms are appropriate sources for Indymedia UK's middle column 
features.

I also think this needs some clarification:

Garcon du Monde wrote:

''indymedia has in the past been very clear that we do not promote a 
particular political ideology but instead reports on events that have 
happened."

I understand this in the context of promoting reports rather than 
annoucements, but if I think back to the points you made about using the 
term 'notorious vivsectors' then
I think it's at odds with most of the topic pages we have that reflect 
on-going struggles and are informed by ideologies.

Solid.
