Peaceful pink protestor or golden global gangster?

Kids soooo want peace not war

What's on the end of the stick, Vic? PEACE, n'yer can keep ya Lord Nelson n'all!

Some people just don't seem satisfied with Police-sanctioned A-B marches

A panorama of peaceniks

The plain and simple truth in black and white, by reds

Consistent, congruent and creative

Sisterly shadowplay

Picasso contra la guerra

Geurnica - never again!

Hey, who shredded the Geneva Conventions? Yes siree, Dubya 'n' Tonee!

Iranians and Tibetans make common cause

And what if there is no justice, just us?

Public sector unions were very much in evidence

Variety is the spice of protest

Kudos to the Bury Coalition for the full colour banner artwork

On a beautifully sunny spring day, and the second anniversary of the UK/US invasion of Iraq, around 100,000 people demonstrated against the continuing imperialist military occupation. To an ever-increasing degree, people are expressing their individual/collective outrage and disgust at the barbarity of the transatlantic ruling class through the blossoming their creative spirit -- in costume, banners, placards and mode of locomotion. I hope I've captured and distributed a flavour of their creativity, and encouraged you to ponder your own means of self-expression.

Unfortunately, my camera battery was exhausted by the time I reached the rally in Trafalgar Square, so I had to resort to my PDA's camera - hence the drop in resolution and clarity.

Demonstration called by the Stop The War Coalition , CND and the Muslim Association of Britain .

For the most politically astute coverage and analysis of the ongoing UK/US barbarism in Iraq (42 stories and counting), I recommend the International Communist Current's 'War in Iraq' portal page:
