One overheard police estimate was up to 2000 protesters in Oxford demanding an end to this illegal and immoral war in Iraq (article 1)

2000?

I doubt it was 2000...wish it had been! This isn't to
denigrate the protest, however, which had a really good
turnout even if it wasn't in multiple thousands.

OK, maybe 'just' hundreds...

OK, maybe 'just' hundreds...

...though I did actually overhear the '2000' figure by a worried-looking policeman somewhere just past the Plain. Guess they overestimated for a change - not used to this... It was a good crowd though.
Also, forgot to post this pic: this banner was further up the High Street, but unfortunately the police diverted us before anyone on the march could see it. Still, nice to have the support.

saturday's demo

er, local bbc radio oxford on saturday afternoon was quoting the ubiquotous police sources who said the figure was 1500. given that they always *under* estimate, maybe the real figure was a bit higher! but that's semantic, rally, because it was a great day out, very good natured and a very effective demo
