Well it was a nice sunny day which may explain why more people went to the pub or to see Arsenal or mowed the lawn instead of turning out for this rally. Numbers well down on last year as far as I could see. No idea how many and I can't see one single news item (so far) anywhere with any estimates. My unofficial estimate - er, not many. A few thousand maybe? It looked better once it got to Downing Street anyway.

Sophie Hurndall's speech was excellent. So were *some* of the others. Anyway, it's late, I'm tired (and a bit pissed) so here's some pictures.

Looks like the Israelis turned out in far greater numbers in support of withdrawal from Gaza but then they haven't exactly been very active the last few years have they? :-)

Well done to everyone who put the effort in, the people that catered for the kids and those who made really cool stuff and banners.

If you really want to make a difference then come to an ISM London orientation day and join ISM in Palestine for Freedom Summer 2004.
