BORING!!

I’ve been to several demonstrations in my life, but never participated in, or seen one as big as today’s Anti-War protest in London. Again, every race, creed, colour, culture, religion, age-group and class were represented.
All the peoples of the World were united in their condemnation of the Imperialist war machine and the butchers, Blair, Bush and Sharon, but while our future king courts these war criminals and their special-oil-rich-relationship, his ‘subjects’ want them tried for war crimes and flagrant violations of International War.
However, by gathering in Hyde Park, we did the government a huge favour, we kept this voluminous body of people off the streets, safely contained in an open parkland and causing the minimum disruption to the City. If we had converged at Parliament, they may have taken more notice of the overwhelming voice of the majority of the British public.
We achieved little, other than demonstrating the extent of dissent in this country, unless this type of action involves stopping the cogs of Capitalism, for even one day, we are only exercising our rights, not our power to change the course of action, from genocide, to peace.
