Inaccurate attribution - the protest is not 'organised' on Indymedia UK  

In City IT workers brace for anarchist attack

Stop

Ive been following the G20 protests and the call for the LSE protest came from a group calling themselves "Bristol Dissent".

An email from them is featured on a host of websites including Bristol Indymedia and many others.

It would be right to say "published on Indymedia UK" and indeed on many other websites, but not "organised on", if anything you should say "organised by Bristol Dissent". I think that's an important distinction, especially given the recent interest by police in anyone who runs a box that have clients mirroring the Indymedia UK website.

C'mon reg, sort it out!
