On a beautifully sunny spring day, and the second anniversary of the UK/US invasion of Iraq, around 100,000 people demonstrated against the continuing imperialist military occupation. To an ever-increasing degree, people are expressing their individual/collective outrage and disgust at the barbarity of the transatlantic ruling class through the blossoming their creative spirit -- in costume, banners, placards and mode of locomotion. I hope I've captured and distributed a flavour of their creativity, and encouraged you to ponder your own means of self-expression.

Unfortunately, my camera battery was exhausted by the time I reached the rally in Trafalgar Square, so I had to resort to my PDA's camera - hence the drop in resolution and clarity.

Demonstration called by the Stop The War Coalition , CND and the Muslim Association of Britain .

For the most politically astute coverage and analysis of the ongoing UK/US barbarism in Iraq (42 stories and counting), I recommend the International Communist Current's 'War in Iraq' portal page:  http://en.internationalism.org/taxonomy/term/70
