Hundreds of protestors were turned away from the public rally ar Westminster tonight.

Alice Mahon MP had booked the Grand Committee room for an anti-war 'public rally' tonight with various speakers including Jeremy Corbin, Harold Pinter, Tariq Ali, and Tony Benn among others.

This was the last part of the "Mass Lobby of Parliament" planned today.

So many people turned up, that a second committee room had to be used, with speakers running between, and still, hundreds of people were turned away as there was no more room.

As well as constant localised direct actions, it's got to be all about Feb 15th. Critical mass, anti-capitalists, wombles, disobedients, grannies, liberals, families, students, fire-fighters, greens, muslims, christians, all cultures, classes, creeds, beliefs - all gather together and protest in many ways, be one more standing up, be creative, be positive, be loving, be peaceful, be challenging, be devious, mis-be-have, be clever, be happy, BE-LIEVE!

Feb 15th Central London
