Forty-five people took the coach down to London from Nottingham to demonstrate against the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, against any attack on Iran and for an end to the siege of Gaza. That included a gang of 9 from Loughborough University.

I don't know how many people were there, but I do know that Trafalgar Square was packed, and I do know that as the front of the march was going over Lambeth Bridge, there were still people going over Westminster Bridge. It was measured in tens of thousands. The police may disagree, and the mainstream media may faithfully report their estimate, but then that's why Indymedia was created, wasn't it?

Ben Griffin, ex SAS trooper, spoke in Trafalgar Square despite the gagging order placed on him - stopping him speaking about his time in Iraq. He spoke about the US war in Vietnam, in some detail, and then said that it was just the same in Afghanistan and Iraq. Brave man.

When the war started, Bush and Blair didn't give a shit about whether there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq or not; whether there was a second UN resolution or not; whether the whole bloody thing was legal or not, because they were confident that we would have all forgotten about all of that by now.
