Two urban walks and a debate invite you to reflect on the impact of Cabot Circus on Bristol and its local communities. The three events are organized by The Architecture Centre, and examine issues such as the role of retail in urban regeneration, the interface between private developments and the local community, the change from the public realm to privately managed streets, and the role of art and artists within the whole process. read full story / add a comment

This post is designed to be a place where site users can engage in a discussion of the merits and flaws of the current Bristol Indymedia editorial guidelines and their practical implementation. Feel free to leave your comments! The guidelines are always up for negotiation, however volunteers who moderate the site have to try and walk the line between users who complain that hiding anything means that they have become a reincarnation of the East German secret police and others who complain that they would like to see any posts which contradict their opinions hidden.

As always, if people feel strongly about an issue regarding the site the advised course of action is to attend one of the public meetings we hold, however hopefully we can have a productive and well mannered discussion about some potentially contentious issues here on the site too. We want to make the site a place that people want to use, and that means getting feedback from users so we can build the environment you want, as well as encouraging more people to participate in the project by volunteering. read full story / add a comment

'But at least do something, give me something to watch on the news....'

This was a message sent to the Comutiny email account from Lucy (who has commented in a previous article that CoMutiny are showing themselves for the selfish and self centered lot that they are....) When asked to come and see what was going on, the reply was: 'You don't need me, I'm a happy nobody just watching the world go by, satisfied with my capitalist lot.

I think this sums up to a degree the passive state into which many of us have been dulled into by the state by which I mean, the government, the mass media, and ourselves.

If we are happy with our capitalist lot, then we perhaps should think about how these comforts come about. I believe our luxuries derive from the suffering of others around the world. By this I mean that the exploitation of natural resources (such as coal, oil, gold, water etc.) and of human beings (through their labour, invasions of their territories and the imposition of our (Western) ways of living) in the the so-called 'developing' countries, funds our comfortable existence. read full story / add a comment
