Any numbers?

Any numbers anyone from the other demos?

Good to see so many people out against the war after so much time. Young, old, so many different groups. Not so many paper sellers. There was room for everyone here. Even the usual suspects had restrained their evangelical zeal. A breath of fresh air.

anti war.

We are very sorry for any offence. Only three people did take offence on the day so we apologise to them. The whole day was a very meaningful experience and we learnt a lot.Sorry.
