20.3, 7am: Protesters blocked the main Bradford road for 1,5 hours. Police watched without arresting anyone. Meanwhile, we spoke to car drivers and locals in order to inform them of our concerns about the war on Iraq.

In order to protest against the outbreak of the war, we decided to block the busiest road between Leeds and Bradford during the rush hour. People chained themselves to the railings while the rest of us tried to communicate with the car drivers and locals. Surprisingly, the police were cooperating and so we could get our message across and hopefully inspire some people to protest !
