Scotland gears up for 200,000 poverty campaigners

Scotland is gearing up for up to 200,000 protestors, including many 
Christians, as the G8 summit at Gleneagles draws closer.

Campaigners, many of whom are part of the drive to Make Poverty History, 
are even being offered specially tailored short-break packages by a 
Scottish tourist board.

The Make Poverty History coalition sees the G8 meeting as a unique 
opportunity for the UK to influence industrialised countries through 
trade justice, debt cancellation and more and better aid.
