Commuters at the Cambridge station were in for a surprise this morning when they were greeted by a large banner spelling STOP BUSH and a voice of a protester announcing the arrival of the American president rather than the next train.
Perfect colour coordination!
Hero in orange
Wide public support for the action.
Welcome to Cambridge, City of Peace!
A large banner was hung from the cycle bridge this morning and one protester is still there now calling on people to join the protests against the Bush visit next week in Cambridge (19th, 1 and 6 pm) and London (20th, 2 pm). People passing by have been very supportive of the action, clapping and cheering on the activist. The only two people that have allegedly complained to the Police were American servicemen. The activist clearly stated in his message that he is not opposed to the American people, but to the American administration and the warmongering.
Police have been ensuring that the activist was not above the railway lines where he could be hurt and have been actively informing people around the station what the protest is about. The activist is secured by a rope.
