SCHNEWS IN BRIEF

* The Mainshill protest camp kept up it’s active reputation by blockading the site for seven hours on Monday night to prevent tree felling, and did it all again on Tuesday to halt further works. For more see http://coalactionscotland.noflag.org.uk

* This Saturday (5th) is The Wave - a big day of action and march against climate change, in the run-up to COP15 at Copenhagen. London: organised by the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition, meeting 12pm at Grosvenor Square going to Parliament at 3pm, then onto LSE at 4.30pm. http://the-wave.org.uk Glasgow: organised by Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, assemble at Bellahouston Park, 10.30am marching to Kelvingrove Park. www.stopclimatechaos.org/thewavescotland

* NOTT A CHANCE - After being outnumbered by antifascists at recent demos in Wales and Scotland, the Islamophobic English Defence League are turning out this Saturday (5th) in Nottingham. The EDL are meeting at 2pm at Wetherspoons, marching to Nottingham Castle. Also during the afternoon is a returned soldiers’ march. The UAF and Stop The War are marching, but again, don’t let their stewards control the demonstration. Meet 10am at Market Square. See www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/nottinghamshire
