"The leaders of the world’s big powers will meet at the G20 summit in London on 2 April.
It is Barack Obama’s first visit to Britain. It is our chance to demand a change from Bush’s war policies."

Hence a lame picket of the US Embassy in Grosvenor Sq on April 1st. Talk about not really taking the opportunity for something better.

They are also planning a demo on April 2nd - 'We will also be protesting on Thursday 2 April at the G20 summit, 11am at the Excel Centre'. Further details to be announced one presumes.

Most of the g20 focus so far has been on April 1st with the g20 Meltdown actions and the Climate Camp protests, both in The City. It will be interesting to see what Stop The War comes up with for April 2nd at Excel. They will also be under pressure from the police not to go too near the Excel Centre.

Another long demo is organised by the Socialist Party on April 2nd that's scheduled to arrive at Excel at 5pm.

As for the more radical plans, it seems the actual April 2nd Excel focus is somewhat chaotic. Maybe that's for the best.
