sorry to be pedantic, but as the Samba band and Pink Fluffy tank got a mention, then it would be nice to acknowledge us on the list of people who came on the march. There were quite a lot of anarchist/Earth firsters as well as those mentioned above....

Saturdays march was a really good example of how a whole diverse range of groups can have a great demo together.
At the peace vigil in manchester when the bombing started it seemed like those who wanted to make long speches were battling with thosse who wanted to play samba and the people who had comew for a minutes silence may have been a bit disappointed.
butr saturdays march was fantastic! No one group dominated, the chanting and samba playing complimented each other and there was also a pause for a minutes silence in the city centre. The range of speakers at the end was almost as diverse as the march itself and for once they didnt go on for hours!
its a long way down to london for the next one, so perhaps the southerners might consider coming up north some time in the near future - menwith hill spy base is not far from manchester.......

How COULD you forget to mention the narchs! After all they were the most important people on the march (oink, oink).

Yay, go for it Fred! All these naive young things raving on about large, diverse peace marches; what they clearly need is a good dose of trot-v-anarch sectarianism to disperse their irritating enthusiasm.

The Manchester University based SAW (Students Against War) call for all individuals and groups opposed to war to take action on December the 4th.
We call on everyone who can to take action against the war, whether that be organising a sit-in, teach-in, a poster campaign, handing out leaflets on market street, or doing something we haven’t thought of yet! As anyone knows who came down to the Manchester on Saturday the anti-war movement is growing! If we all give a big push together on one day we will all become more visible, this will both give us great potential for reaching people in the street, and will make it more likely what we get column inches in the main stream media. If your not in Manchester come along and get involved with SAW activity, or if you can't make it organise a solidarity event in your local area.

Let us know what your planning to do (so we can handle the media with some sort of unified front) or if your coming to Manchester contact SAW at stopworldwar3 @ hotmail.com (this is our groups email address but we will be setting up an account specifically for this event over the next few weeks.)
