Global capitalism freaks out at Greek worker resistance

Sat 08 May 2010

The E.U. and the IMF on behalf of international finance are demanding that the Greek people pay for years of corrupt rule and tax evasion by the Greek elite at home and to help payback the billions of debt transferred from the private to the public sector as a result of the bailouts to banks after the 2008 GFC. However Greek workers are not following the script and are mobilising on a massive scale. Join the Can't pay wont pay solidarity action

G20 policing caused man's death: police coverup and media lies

See London Indymedia for G20 reports, timelines and features.

On Wednesday 1st April during a demonstration against the G20 in London, thousands of protestors were trapped inside a police cordon (kettled) where they were baton charged and crushed by the police. Ian Tomlinson, who appears to have been a passer-by, died during this demonstration outside the Bank of England. The police started a coverup immediately, claiming police and medics had been prevented from attending to him, although eyewitnesses reported seeing Ian Tomlinson being attacked by police shortly before his death. The corporate media parroted these police lies even though eyewitness accounts contradicted this video has surfaced clearly showing Ian was viciously assaulted by riot police from behind and violently pushed to the ground. Riot police and members of the Forward Intelligence Team looked on as a protestor attended to him. Minutes after moving away, Mr. Tomlinson collapsed in a nearby alley and died shortly afterwards.
