On the way to the palace but totally ringed in by cops
Noise protest outside the palace.
These were very fine singers
Indymedia gets everywhere
This American corp media journo just couldn't make himself heard.
Indymedia left its mark on the mainstream journo in the black coat.
The silver haired suit was just so mainstream corporate American media and repeatedly kept trying to make a report in front of his TV camera crew but every time was completely drowned out by deafening shouts of "American media lies", "Bush murders children" and "Bush go home". Such a shame.

Face to Face
It looks like more than 150 people to me. You are viewing what Arundhati Roy called "The Other Superpower." You can try to play down the numbers if you like. I've heard that argument before. It is the same old song and dance.
Dear fellow members of the Other Superpower,
This is inspiring. I cannot wait to hear today's report. All eyes on London and take notes.
Noise is effective. I am sure it is rattling the shrub's already short attention span.
I have found that whistles work well to alter the reports of corporate journo-spokesmodels.
A couple of months ago, I flashed this message at the shrub as he left a "faith-based" fundraiser. He sat up in his limo and pressed his face to the glass and mouthed the words. It was like watching a live Steve Bell cartoon.
It doesn't matter where he goes. Even at "home", the Other Superpower will find him.
Cheers,
Keith,

Clever signs
20.11.2003 17:10
The other sign, Bush Lies, People Died is better, but coudl easily have been improved by changing Lies to Lied so that it rythmed. Lied, died. Certainly its past tense but it works far better.
If the protesters aren't going to give a few minutes worth of thought to their signs why should anyone really pay attention? Are the protests intended to change peoples opinions or simply to make the protestors feel superior?
