At around 12:30 this afternoon, 30-50 police arrived at the Rampart, an activist social centre in Whitechapel, East London.  A formerly derelict building which had been empty for years, Rampart was occupied by activists and turned into a social and cultural venue more than four years ago.

Around 100 police men in 10-20 vans raid the building, with climbers on the roof and ladders to scale the walls.

1 April, 22.50, Police charge pacific protesters

This morning, a group of pixies put up a large banner with the words "SMASH CAPITALISM" emblazoned on an empty building right next to Tower Hill, on the Thames.

7 arrests around the convergence centre. one of them for carrying a screw driver. Police are stopping and searching people getting in the convergence centre.

There has been no eviction attempt of the Payn House convergence space and it is open and ready for people. The G20 Meltdown twitter incorrectly reported an eviction at the space.

The imminent commercial collapse of mainstream media, and its replacement by PR-driven news, threatens the journalistic integrity and independence necessary for a free scoiety. The next generation could be without the 4th Estate.

This space is now being squatted as a convergence centre, the space is non-affiliated and welcomes all activist groups (as long as they agree to the 'safer spaces' policy and respect the ideals of the space).

On Saturday I participated in a one-man act of civil disobedience that is not yet reported in any paper to my knowledge. To co-incide with the Put People First march through London I climbed over the railings and into the grounds of the Houses of Parliament/Palace of Westminster.

No maps, but you'll find most events for this week here. All squeezed in an A4

Krankenhouse Free Space in Crouch End, North London now has full weekly line up of workshops as well as the continuing ability to host artistic events, cabarets, cafes, meetings, discussions (anything that is proposed will be considered).

April 1st is only a week away! Below is the crucial information you will need for camping in the square mile during the G20.

... “We Won’t Pay For Their Crisis!”

On Thursday 2nd of April the G20 (or G22) are descending on the city in a Summit to address the current global Crisis, and to discuss how to “re-stabilise” the world economy and how to re-write the rules of global Capitalism, whilst thousands of people are losing their jobs and homes on a daily basis.

Amid the biggest police operation to be launched in London for over a decade, many UK wide groups and organisations have joined forces for several days of protests and events starting on Saturday 28th until Thursday 2nd, to show a clear rejection to the G20’s ‘solutions’, as well as to propose ways out to the current economic and social situation that go beyond the ‘logic’ of Capitalism.
