Teach-ins and tactics

Protester Rachel Hodgins is one of our G8 guest bloggers

Yesterday morning we had a planning meeting at the Niddrie campsite to think about our options over the next few days. Today we’re going to the protests against the detention centre for asylum seekers at Dungavel, but we’re undecided about what to do tomorrow. Some people we know have gone to Stirling to see how many people are there and what the Dissent network are planning, but we hadn’t heard anything very concrete from them, and most people seemed to think we should go with the G8 Alternatives group to Gleneagles and see what happens when we get there, and try to have as lively and militant a protest as possible.
