[Cc-webedit] [mediateam] Re: "Injured" policeman peice

[letyourlifesing at riseup.net]

Hi all,

I've emailed him again but not heard back. I could give him a ring though.

I'm happy to write a blog (as the person who treted the cop, or as a
generic climate camper) if we decide to write a one.

Is there anyone who can write a 'yay, Copenhagen!' blog as well?
