IMC G8 Newsblast - Sat 2nd July - Collected Reports

G8 INDYMEDIA NEWSBLAST
SATURDAY 2nd JULY #v1.0

SATURDAY 2nd JULY G8 INDYMEDIA NEWSBLAST #v1.0

==================

PRECIS:

Over 200,000 demonstrators from very different backgrounds joined the massive Make Poverty History march in Edinburgh. The organisers had called for people to wear white clothes and the majority did with a 'white band' snaking around the centre of Edinburgh. Throughout the day speeches and performances were held in the Meadows which had several huge themed areas. Queues were the order of the day, for water, for food from the burger bars, and for marching itself.

The march was set up with staggered starting times, but because of the number of people and the tiny exit of the Meadows rally area, those who wanted to start marching at 1pm were still waiting to leave as it neared 4pm. Many left to get coaches without marching. Many estimates put the numbers at around 225,000 or more, despite much of the media reporting just 100,000 for most of the day.

Before the start of the official march, residents of Craigmillar, the most deprived area of Edinburgh and location of the Council provided G8 Campsite, joined with anti-G8 protestors to march through the local estate to show their opposition to poverty here and abroad.

During the afternoon an anti-capitalist block broke away from the main march and was attacked and cordoned off by riot cops. People were held for several hours before being released in threes.

Other events happened during or after the official march (and we're not talking about the Live 8 concerts). Faeries moved about the march, as did battalions of the Clown Army and the funny 'Pro-Capitalist Bloc'. Break Dancers gathered in Bristo Square in an event entitled 'Break Poverty'. An impromptu street party on one of the roads closed for the march, with samba and music from the Infernal Noise Brigade, lasted until past midnight. At that point, police moved the party to the nearby Meadows in order to re-open the road, resulting in one arrest.
