~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Undercurrents.org would like to invite anyone with a camcorder to cover the
following events.

We would then encourage you to edit a 2-3 minute news report and either
encode it to internet format and post it yourself to the Indymedia.org web
site - or pass it on to us and we can perform that service for you.

Fuel convoy: 

Rather than just looking at the immediate symptoms of the Fuel Crisis. It
would be refreshing if a more overall look at the problem of this Nation's
accute Fuel addiction were addressed. If you have an opportunity to do so,
get some footage up on the Web or sent to us.

We are keen to get accross the message that Motorists do not pay for the
real cost of their Motoring  and would encourage the networking of the the
web site www.realfuelcrisis.co.uk. We are keen to link to others if you
could let us know.

here is the information on the front page of the realfuelcrisis web site

Wednesday 8th:  
THE CHANCELLOR'S PRE-BUDGET STATEMENT  
 
The Chancellor's pre-Budget Statement: see the T2000 message to Gordon Brown 

Local activists are encouraged to organise local photo-opportunities/press
events either the day before, or the morning of the Chancellor's pre-budget
statement (8th November). It would help if local groups of all
organisations could inform Steve Hounsham, Transport 2000 press officer
(020 7613 0743), about any local press events that you are planning, so
that NGOs can build up a picture.
