In March 1849, several hundred starving people set out on a desperate walk from Louisburgh in County Mayo, Ireland. Their destination was a mansion where dinner was being served to the Board of Guardians who had the powers to release food or issue certificates of destitution to give entry to the workhouse. The Louisburg people were denied both. On the return journey as many as a hundred men, women and children died.

The G8 are returning to Europe in June after fleeing to the Rocky mountains last year in an attempt to avoid the protests that greeted them in Genoa in 2001.

"It is effective” says Fatme, of the looting of the museums and ministries,
“By destroying a people’s heritage, you destroy their past and future. We have been made -
to them - a people without a past - our records and archives are destroyed, burnt in the
ministries. We become a people without names, no records to say we exist. It is not the
objects themselves we are sad about, it is what they represented to us. We are the oldest
civilisation, but we are presented to the world as terrorists, as fanatics. Only people who
fight with small guns are called terrorists. Bush, who bombs us with cluster bombs, and
strangles us with the embargo, is a ‘civilised man.’". read full story / add a comment

It was everything an RTS should be - peaceful, joyous, and a celebration of what a city community could be".
