I have not done this before so my apologies if its in the wrong place. I want evreyone to know how the bbc and the long arm ofd the law are lying to us. It was stated on the BBC and Manchester evening news web sites that no arrests occurred on the demo. i was there and i saw arrests taking place.

I observed as poeple were thrown into the back of meat wagons and visited the main police station where someone was being held, a yyoung wooman, for breach of the peace. If i understand correctly she was subsequently released without charge.

Another classic example of media lies and censorship of the strength of the protest movement.

It is striking to read that the BBC is lousing things up as, from this side, they seem to be less of a propaganda machine. I knew I was dreaming to think that they were less biased/have a cleaner agenda. The mainstream coverage in the U.S. of all aspects of this war are atrocious.

The BBC's quality of news coverage has gone downhill rapidly since the war started, so much that I have now switched to using the Guardian and Independent websites instead, at least there you get some anti-war coverage and opinions, unlike the BBC.

I think the next anti-war protest should be directed at Broadcasting House, to show the Beeb that they cannot get away with disinforming the public. Failing that, we could always protest outside our local studios.
