London demo in solidarity with Lebanese and Palestinians.

Considering the short notice (less than one week) the demo was impressively large. Thousands came from all over the country to enjoy the heat-wave in Britain’s most polluted city and protest about the slaughter in Lebanon. Fortunately for everyone the weatherman had lied and it rained from early on in the demo till just before the end. Having been cooked here for over a week it has to be said that the rain was lovely.

Difficult to say how many came there were other regional mobilizations around the country. Definitely over ten thousand. Read more >>

The ever popular US Embassy.

The demo was unsurprisingly at its most loud and angry when passing the US Embassy. The blatant way in which Bush and his chums are siding with Israel at present demonstrates yet more hypocrisy and double standards in the so called ‘war on terror’. Read more >>

Lebonese demo Tuesday night. The blockading of Parliament.

The road outside Parliament was blocked for around 20 minutes by around 500 mostly Lebanese demonstrators. The action forced the main gates to be locked by Police so MPs wishing to drive home at the end of the session found themselves locked in.

The Police were hopelessly outnumbered so could do little except stand and watch. They called in reinforcements from just about everywhere including City of London, British Transport Police and local Westminster duty plods. Having no option but to adopt a softly, softly approach they kept well back letting the stewards gently move the protesters back into the square. They then formed a line of vans and officers across the front of the demo and remained until the protest finished. There was no violence, the protest remained loud and angry until the end.

Expect greater numbers on Saturday.

Tuesday Night Lebonese Protest. Vigil for Peace in Parliament Square.

The candlelit vigil called by the Palistinian Solidarity Campaign in Parliament Square was a lot bigger than expected. Since the demo was booked events in Lebanon have spiraled with hundreds of civilians killed in airstrikes and Israel increasing its military operation with every passing day. So the half a dozen or so cops deployed found themselves policing a protest of around 2000 angry people. Direct action was inevitable.... Read more >>
