I think I agree in principle that a YouTube embed is better, as I'd
rather people watched the video on our site than got taken away to
YouTube.<br>
<br>
But the preview image they've now chosen for the YouTube one makes
it look like coming to Climate Camp involves fighting with the
police:<br>
<br>
<img alt="" src="cid:part1.04010400.00040401@fastmail.fm"
width="570" height="383"><br>
<br>
So on balance I think we should stick with what we've got<br>
<br>

<br>
PS. I think at this stage (ie. home straight!) it's reasonable to
make changes and then ask the list to review and if necessary amend
them.<br>

This is just plain pedantic. Linking to YouTube on the front page
advertises YouTube just as much as having the logo on the front page.
The non functioning play arrow in the centre of the image looks
terrible. In my opinion it is more aesthetic to play the video on our
site.
What advantage is it in addition to?
What happened to putting things to this list for approval before making
major changes?
In peace Neil
