Several hundred people answer CNDs call for a rally outside Parliament. Meanwhile inside Mr Blair has to rely yet again on the Tories for support in getting the bill passed. This will no doubt please his idol Margaret Thatcher who was previously responsible for wasting billions on WMD.

Another rally with speeches ect.

The arrival of critical mass livened things up and gave the legions of bored cops something to do, albeit for a short time. At least two cyclists were told that if they peddled round the square again they would be arrested. Sadly the sight of David Cameron being nicked on his bike as he cycled home was not to materialise. He was far too busy showing off his green credentials by helping the government make enough weapons to kill the entire planet twice over.

Over 80% of Britains think that Trident is a waste of money. A similar percentage thought the war in Iraq was a crap idea.

Democracy? Yeah right....
