In London the stage is set for a series of protests making the links between Arms and Oil as well as other issues (see ourmayday http://diy.spc.org/ourmayday/index03.html / police advice http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=65715&group=webcast / City Police timeline http://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/incident-room/latest-details/details1.htm, with further protests set for Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Leicester and Bradford and beyond. In the last few days there has also been a series of supporting actions and protests by Campaign Against The Arms Trade (http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=63105&group=webcast).  Mayday is also the 3rd birthday of Indymedia UK, and three years since Mayday was reclaimed in 2000.
