Parliament Sq protest

18-11-2003 13:48

Most of you here will probably know about Brian from Redditch. He's been camping out on a tiny patch of grass between the pavement and the green at Parliament Sq for nearly 3 years now, in all weathers, in protest against this appalling war against the people of Iraq. He was on hunger strike during the bombing earlier in the year, and has been subject to all kinds of abuse from passers by and tourists.

Bush's visit to Britain exposes deep division

18-11-2003 09:56

The state visit to Britain this week by President George W. Bush has already done more harm than good to relations between the United States and its closest ally. Although this visit is a ceremonial rather than overtly political occasion, with the focus on the president and the Queen rather than on Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair, in practice it is a reminder of two divisions

GO GRANNY, GO GRANNY, GO GRANNY GO!

The little old lady named Lindis Percy
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
But parked high up on a Buckingham gate
Is an upside down symbol against occupier hate

CHORUS:
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner
Than the little old lady named Lindis Percy
(She climbs real fast and she jumps real hard)
She's the terror of the Palace Guard

Is this in good taste? (Mc.Ranch comes to Palace...)

17-11-2003 22:48

oh no sorry, apparently according to Reuters it's a Jousting Tent! :-)
- a sort of "medieval marquee" that's been built to welcome Bush!

Reuters: "The two-domed tent, made of wood, poles and canvas, took three days to erect, said a policeman outside the palace.

"I wouldn't have it in my front room," said the policeman, understandably wishing to remain anonymous."

Letter from America - THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROTESTS!

Seattle Police Attacking Americans at LEIU Protests, June 2, 2003
I am an American activist who is appalled by our President Bush, and am writing to support your Bush protests from America. I saw Bush on American TV last night. An announcer from the UK said he had never seen this much vehemence towards a U.S. president in the UK EVER. Bush's response was that he was HAPPY to go to a country where protest/free speech was openly embraced and allowed. The hypocrisy here is unbelievable.
