Letter bombs are sent to various businesses and organisations in Britain, suspicion falls on animal-rights protesters; work begins on a twelve kilometer long security fence around the Baltic resort of Heiligendamm in anticipation of disruption from anti-globalisation protesters at the G8 summit in June; around 1.8 million people sign an e-mail petition to the British Prime Minister against road charging. Discontent is widespread and wide-ranging – protest is clearly alive and kicking.
