sheffield samba band with some rhythms of resistancers were waiting at aldermarston today for the arrival of the 2004 march from london. as they arrived everyone was dancing, and a great atmosphere was created.

tired marchers were greeted with food, water and music as the perimeter fence was adorned with peace slogans, flags and flowers. police surveillance was quite intense although in general the policing was reasonably low-key as the demo seemed mostly very fluffy.

sound systems and samba combined to give a carnival atmosphere to the afternoon.

the aldermarston march has been running yearly since 1958, and this year focussed attention on the new breed of battlefield nukes, bunker busters, and other newly developed weapons of mass destruction that our government is hypocritically creating.

For 'worker', read 'wanker'!

Props to everyone who did this journey and reminded us of the utterly murderous hypocrisy of this government.
A government that prefers to spend money on killing civilians rather than educating them.
