So there i was in the city of Edinburgh as my trip was drawing too a close with hardly a care in the world. When as I turned up the coobled street to my Uncles house I was met by a tall apperition in Black.

So i stumbled on the demonstration and lots of tiny american flags, wich on a second look turned out to be a reresentation of the future and present. I find the slogan Fuck Bush not ofensive or even rascist but just the way I feel about the neocon american president.

Thanks to the person that gave me a flag and some cards i will spread them far and wide.
