Thanks for that. PNW/MaQ/Womblemed.

I've put up the feature as follows:

MAYDAY : WEAPONS OF MASS CONSTRUCTION

Mayday May 1st

Around the world people are out on the streets <a
href="http://diy.spc.org/ourmayday/history.html">celebrating Mayday</a>. In London the stage is set for
a series of protests making the links between Arms and Oil as well as other
issues (see <a
href="http://diy.spc.org/ourmayday/index03.html">ourmayday</a> / <a
href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=65715&group=webcast">police advice</a> and <a href=" City Police timeline
http://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/incident-room/latest-details/details1.htm">timeline</a>), with
further protests set for Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Leicester,
Bradford and beyond. In the last few days there has also been a series of <a
href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=63105&group=webcast">supporting actions and protests</a> by Campaign Against The Arms Trade.
This Mayday is also the 3rd birthday of Indymedia UK.
<br><br>
The annual Trade Union march to Trafalger Square continues to gather
support, this year supported by 
<br>
<a href="http://www.resist.org.uk">Globalise Resistance</a>, <a
href="http://www.stopwar.org.uk">Stop the War Coalition</a>, <a
href="http://www.waronwant.org">War on Want</a>, <a href="http://www.wdm.org.uk">World Development
Movement</a>, and the <a href="http://www.glatuc.org.uk/mayday.html">TUC</a>
coming together to oppose war, racism and privatisation.
<br><br>
Press hysteria around the protests has been at a lower level than previous
years, although there have still been a flurry of articles and some terrible
journalism / propaganda (<a

It definitely needs improving, but I haven't got time right now. I see some
people are on Twiki. Could those people also try and join the IRC (channel :
#uk) so we can coordinate who's on the features.cgi?
