Networking Newsletter (Issue 46): Anti-war March

Thousands March Against War

At 5pm on Thursday 20 March, a few thousand people gathered at Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester, for a peace rally. Speakers called on the Government to stop any military involvement in Iraq. After an hour of speeches, the crowd, swelling in numbers by the minute, marched around the city's main streets. They were applauded by most shoppers and brought many main streets to a complete standstill.

The heavily policed march lasted two hours, culminating in another gathering at Piccadilly Gardens. This rally is still going on.

Photos to follow shortly.
