D'oh! Factual Inaccuracies In Issue 59

Issue 59 of the Earth First! Action Update contained three factual inaccuracies:

• We claimed that the road protest at Valley D'Aspe in France had been successful and the scheme was scrapped. It appears that this was an invention which we copied out of the Guardian in blatant contravention of our own guidelines!

• We advertised the Big Day Out against Tarmac as being planned for the 17th of August. It is in fact to take place on the 17th of July.

• In News In Brief we reported that a Fascist march in Halifax had been cancelled due to militant local opposition when in fact no such march was ever planned. What did happen was that a British National Party candidate stood in the council elections and there was a largish anti-fascist presence at the count. The fascists had to leave from the back door under police protection!

We are sorry - and we do welcome your corrections and your comments.
