[IMC-bristol] party political propaganda

[James Venables]

Having thought about it a bit more, the 'respect' newsletter largely 
consists of party political propaganda.

http://bristol.indymedia.org/newswire/display/15871/index.php
"Millions of us campaigned against the war and in defence of democracy. 
We arenow taking the battle to the ballot box. RESPECT has been born out 
of theanti-war movement and is a coalition of those disillusioned with 
the three main political parties."

'Respect' didn't campaign against the war, as it didn't exist, and can't 
retrospectively claim to speak for millions.
'Respect' isn't especially born out of the anti-war movement. It's born 
primarily born from the minds of Galloway, German & Rees.
'Respect' isn't a coalition of those disillusioned in the context it 
puts itself in, which is to clearly imply it speaks for us all in the 
anti-war movement.

None of these claims are factually correct or entirely honest.

And the events listed are primarily internal campaigning, not especially 
news, except for the cut & paste from Bristol STW news.

I agree with Mark W. it should be hidden as party political propaganda.

PS: At the bottom of the page it says "COMING SOON LOOK OUT FOR.....Our 
European Party Political Broadcast." Enough said.
