Confusion over Indymedia Server Seizure

There still seems to be a lot of confusion on this matter, not helped (purposely?) by Government statements, so let me try and clarify what we appear to know.

The Government's responses to questions re: Indymedia Server Seizure, specifically that "no UK law enforcement agencies were involved" (20 Oct) and that "the Home Office received no prior notification" (8 Nov) would seem to rule out the use of the US-UK MLAT.

Council wardens - council spies ?

Billy Badger | 26-11-2004 11:50 | Analysis | Indymedia | Sheffield

I said no. Three days later I got a letter from the council saying they'd received complaints of my "loud" television. Which is strange, as I don't own one. But...on the day the wardens came ... I had a TV box (empty) on my kitchen table. Mmm...

Early this morning activists blocked Stancliffe Stone a subsidiary of Marshall’s PLC for three and a half hours using two tripods.
The action was done to show that regardless of the camp being evicted from 9 Ladies site, that Marshall’s or Stancliffe Stone are still very easy to shut down and that activists can cause economic damage in a peaceful non violent way.
