What happened today??

Given that today was supposed to be an international day of action for asylum seekers does anyone know why the demo in Albert Square basically did n0t take place because almost no-one turned up? I have heard that Manchester against Racism pulled out of supporting the event and also that Refugee action also refused to support it. Given that Manchester against Racism/Respect is the new SWP bandwagon, has a decision been taken to pour energy into this and to pull out elsewhere? Is the 'no borders' slogan becoming a bit fudgy now Respect contains many old and new labourites?
