yesterday in whitehall the camp was established opposite downing street in direct protest against the continuing afghan war.

last month more than a thousand bombs were dropped by allies over afghanistan, with huge loss of civilian life.

this massacre must end, and the 'white flag revolution' intends to remain opposite downing street until it does.

after a peaceful night, the protest and vigil continued today. numbers fluctuated as visitors came and went. there were also three separate remembrance services in whitehall today, and the camp attracted some support from those attending.

there has not yet been any visit from westminster officials, so for tonight the tents remain - a much needed shelter from the cold air. however, peace camp organisers have pledged they will remain even if the tents are taken.

today, police have been helpful and the ministry of defence police have had friendly interaction with the demonstrators.

once again, having done the hard work of organising and establishing the protest, the 'white flag revolution' is calling out for support.

food, provisions, donations are all welcome, but above all, people.
