Few changes in ownership could help Blair more. Organizers of this weekend's anti-war march in London claim they expect as many as a million demonstrators in Hyde Park, which would be the biggest demo in British history. If so, then the Daily Mirror will take much of the credit. As well as printing hundreds of thousands of "Stop The War" leaflets, the Mirror also paid the $15,000 to hire the big screen that will carry giant images of the anti-war speakers -- and their attacks on the Bush-Blair war -- across Hyde Park.

Tony Blair has another problem, which may be resolved by a takeover. His main tormentor, the traditionally pro-Labor Daily Mirror, which first dubbed him Bush's poodle and which ran a front page splash last week showing Blair's hand dripping with blood, is losing 120,000 readers. Circulation, which in the Mirror's glory days was more than 4 million, is now just a hair above 2 million. Its owners, the Trinity Mirror Group (which also owns 240 profitable local papers) has received a $2 billion buyout offer from a venture capital group. The very pro-Blair Richard Desmond (who owns the Daily and Sunday Express, and made his money with soft-porn mags) is also making inquiries. Few changes in ownership could help Blair more.
