I uploaded this video as a test to see whether IMC-UK video uploads were working, but it's a great clip that maybe not too many people have seen so it seems worth it to leave it up.

November 20th 2003, and massive demonstrations erupt in London against the visit of President George Bush. Simultaneously, demonstrations in Miami Florida target the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) trade agreement negotiations.

In a gesture of contempt for the sort of "freedom" that the US and UK have brought to Iraq with their invasion of that tortured country, demonstrators pulled down a large statue of George Bush in Trafalgar Square.
