protestors gathered all afternoon and evening to bring attention to this assault on freedom.
sambaistas provided a lively soundtrack to the evening's protest, and succesfully took over the space on the pavement right outside parliament for some time, catching police unprepared and forcing the closure of the gates to parliament before stopping traffic on their return to the main protest in the square itself.
here are some pics from this evening.

Connect with Brian and the injustice of war
AS LONG AS IT TAKES
In June 2001 Clint Eastwood lookalike Brian Haw pledged to remain on the pavement of Parliament Square, outside Westminster until there was an end to the 12 years of sanctions and bombing which doubled the infant mortality in Iraq.
This film completed just before the US led invasion of Iraq offers a fascinating perspective on subsequent events.
