Another Boring March In Leeds

Today we saw another of the regular demonstarions against the war here in Leeds. They happen every Thursday eve and saterday - and seem to increasingly be mere recruitment/paper sales exercises for a moribund left.
If we are to 'stop the war' or at least make it less of an attractive option for Blair/Bush in the future - then we need to bring the war home...not the words of an 'Agent Provocatuer' as some have said in other palces when someone has suggested taking more militant action against the war, but common sense. Why would any government listen to a protest movement happy to march along routes proscribed by the cops/march stewars (soft cops)?
Im sick of listening to speeches calling for ridiculous things like 'boycott america', sick of hearing wankers from the SWP and other authoritarian left organisations go on and on about 'building for the ('official') london demo' - IT AINT WHAT YOU GOT ITS WHAT YOU DO WITH IT!
