As socialists and activists from across the world came together in London to highlight the crimes of the G20 nations, Solidarity Co-Convenor, Tommy Sheridan, has slammed the UK press and the Police for focussing on the wrong people.

"Over the last few days we have see a relentless atempt by the media to equate democratic protest against the criminials of the G20 with terrorism and a security threat.  Meanwhile no mainstream press seem to be concerned by the fact that a man was found guilty of trying to blow up the Central Mosque in Glasgow and had threatened to behead Scottish muslims.
 
"If the press want to tell a story of terror and murder, if the police want to arrest people who are responsible for death and brutality, they should turn around and face the G20 leaders, not the protesters who are trying to stop their crimes.
 
"To the police in this country, it is OK, it seems, to collude in kidnapping, torture, and bombings, as long as you are part of the Government.  To the press, it's OK to bomb mosques and threaten muslims while they recoil in horror at muslims protesting legally against war."
