Second Indymedia Server Seized in UK Within a Year

GarconDuMonde writes "For the second time within the past year, an Indymedia server has been siezed in the United Kingdom. This time it is the Bristol Indymedia server (currently redirected to the United Kollectives IMC site); this follows on from the Ahimsa siezure last October. The current siezure was carried out using a search warrant by the UK police at approximately 16:30GMT on June 27th, 2005. This was despite being warned by lawyers "that this server was considered an item of journalistic equipment and so subject to special provision under the law" (press release). Bristol Indymedia is currently being supported by the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), Liberty and Privacy International. Other media organisations have declared their support."

    "And maybe in the future they will laugh at the pro-choicers instead"

    More likely they'll shake their heads at people like you who think they should be able to control what other people do with their bodies.

    You're probably on the fence about birth control too.

    And the idea that sex is fun probably sends you scurrying to whatever "holy book" you use to hide your lack of critical thinking.

    "They do seem to be very, very biased, but it's better for information to be collected for me to sort out what's useless, biased drek than it is for someone else to decide what's drek and filter it for me"

    You accept and agree that Indymedia is biased.
    THEN
    You suggest that it is not filtered.

    This is a contradiction.

    Disclaimer: I know nothing about Indymedia. This comment is solely to highlight the logic (or lack thereof) in the parent post.

    Exam 4/C again. Maybe I'll do better this time.

    Fox "News" isn't news; it is to the Republican Party what Pravda was to the Soviet Communist Party. It "reports" what it is told to report, facts be damned.
