the atmosphere was understandably angry, but i didn't see any violence, vandolism or general poor behaviour. i was also glad people were able to see beyond ending the occupation of Iraq, which would be totally irrisponsible at this stage - they've gone in and made a mess, they need to bloody well sort it out before they leave. people were chanting about quantanamo bay, the kyoto agreement, objections to the ridiculous demands made by the Bush administration for his (unwelcome) visit etc. It was very well attended: STWC estimated 150,000, the police claimed 100,000. Did you see the Bush/Blair press conference? I missed it as I was marching - apparently it was just arse-licking and evading the important issues from beginning to end..... |

Nothing wrong with protesting as long as it doesn't decend into violence. |

"Protesters say that the attacks in Turkey only serve to make their point - that the war in Iraq has increased global terror" |
