(If this went ahead; I couldn’t find it. I rode my motorcycle from Covent Gardens through the City and all the way to the jaded modernist dream of the Docklands to the University of East London (via getting lost around the mammoth Excel Centre). But when I finally found the campus, nestled between a ‘freeway’ and City Airport, I couldn’t find any one except a few bored security guards. Oh well; if anyone made it; please tell me how it went).
Article in the Guardian from Professor Chris Knight; University of East London:
Despite last minute efforts by the management of the University of East
London to shut down the alternative G20 summit this evening, we are committed to making sure the event goes ahead at the University of East London as planned, between 4pm and 9pm.

Shit really? I was there… just outside Cyprus station, in the main courtyard area of the campus, they held it outside… I got some footage of some of the speakers, will upload it somewhere and send it to the organisers as they requested a copy of footage for their website.
Will post a link when I get it uploaded somewhere, prob Youtube.
It was really good- but not as big a turnout as I hoped to see… i guess alot of ppl thought it had been cancelled. I left just after 8, wanted to get back to Climate Camp.
Sorry to hear you missed it.
