Freedom to Protest

Any oppressive laws can be rendered unworkable
through protest, non-co-operation and defiance

Wherever there is injustice or oppression,
there is protest and resistance

unfortunately there's a problem with the small quicktime film (audio only), but the larger mp4 film seems ok for the broadband blessed. will try to repost a smaller version later.

Quote: "you have millions behind you".

I very much doubt that considering that the last anti-Iraq war march in London attracted only about 8,000 people. Even the so called 2million strong march on February the 15 2003 was far smaller than the organisers stated. More like 400,000 the same size as the Countryside Alliance march the week before. Both marches had similar length routes and consisted of two routes for most of their length. So how on earth the anti-Iraq war march could have been bigger than the countryside march is beyond me. Especially as central London was packed out to capacity by the 400,000 strong countryside march. Then there are the logistics of transporting so many people into and out of central London. London transport could not have coped with two million demonstrators, it barely copes with half a million commuters entering and leaving central London everyday.

You are also trying to make out that you are martyrs for demonstrating against the Iraq war, yet you can still legally demonstrate if you get prior permission. In other parts of the country most local councils require that organisers of demonstrations apply for permission and inform the police weeks in advance. You are proving nothing by holding unanounced demonstrations and getting yourselves arrested!

These anti-war protesters always claim to have huge protests in this alleged city of 'London'.

But really, think about it - a city with a population of millions, supposedly more people in it than in the whole of Scotland, which is like a proper country with space and mountains?

Yeah right.

And these alleged millions are all from different ethnic and religious groups yet live and work together in peace? I mean, it stands to reason that can't possibly work expect in deranged left-liberal cloud-cuckoo land!

And let's not forget it's part of this alleged city that are supposed to have elected George Galloway, which obviously no real people would ever do.

Don't be sheeple - open your eyes, 'London' is a pc myth!

I attended both the CA and the anti-war march the following week as an audio journalist. The CA had people stationed at gates counting the crowd so we know that 400,000 is fairly accurate. The anti-war march took around twice as long to complete the route, so from that we can calculate that there were at least 800,000. And given that the CA marchers were brisk walkers whilst the anti-war crowd were, let's say, a little more laid back, I can see every reason to add another 200,000 and round it up to a million. The other million, BTW, comes from the combined total of marches throughout the land. It is estimated that some 10,000,000 marched worldwide on the same day.

If the Anti-war march was moving *more slowly* than the Countryside Alliance one, then the number of people passing any particular point on the route in say an hour, must have *fewer*, so how can you add another 200,000 to your estimate ?

Fancy ringing a bell and reading out names across from Downing Street.......and being a force of two,too.

BADDIES!

Support the courageous and remember those lost to wars, agression, conflict and capitalism.
Sadly, still ringing daily in Iraq.
