A Reminder... Bush Demonstration Details

Ash | 28.10.2003 18:15 | Bush 2003 | Anti-militarism | London | World

Just a remender of the Anti-Bush Demonstrations...

Bush State Visit Demonstration

President Bush of America is to visit the United Kingdom of Great Britain between the 19th to 21st of November on his first ever State Visit.

It is also announced that there will be a Chris Eubank style demonstration on all of these 3 days. We ask people to drive around the centre of London and horn as loudly as they can from early morning till late evening. All cars should carry anti-war messages.

Chris Eubank drove around Parliament Square, up Parliament Street, into Whitehall, to Trafalgar Square and back down into Whitehall, Parliament Street and around Parliament Square.

Our demonstration will also take in Birdcage Walk, the front of Buckingham Palace (Queen Victoria Memorial), The Mall and Horseguards Road.

Please remember the police have no right to detain you. You will not be breaking any laws!!! The police tried to stop Eubank but unsuccessfully. Now it's our turn to let Bush know what we think of him.

I also suggest we continue until Blair resigns from his role as PM.

Safe driving and successful demonstrating my friends!!

Clearing up the details

This, I take it, is the idea:

There will be a set route, which people will drive around endlessly, from dawn to dusk, adding to the traffic of rush hour times, and they will all carry banners and flags with slogans against Bush/Blair/War.

Cool idea, but if there is a set route, it would help if you had given better details of this. Great idea, should give a lot of advertising to others, but I'd certainly recommend one addition: Person in Passenger Seat with Megaphone.

Hi there!! Thank you for your comment and excellent idea of the passenger hurling abuse at Bush and Co. with the megaphone!!

As for the route itself, there won't be a "set-route" as such. This is because this way we reackon it'll cause much more embarrassment to the governments of bush and blair.

Please do let as many people know as possible because the more people there the better. If you don't have a car, hire one or borrow one. We want total gridlock in that place and with car horns ablaze and megaphones on the noise will be enough to deafen the idiots bush and blair. I think the Queen also has legitimate grounds to be targeted. Why? Well, she did, after all, give the Royal Assent to such an illegal war.

When there is gridlock, please switch car engines off. We don't want anyone dying of pollution.

If bush and blair don't get this message that they're not welcome and wish to attack Syria, Iran and others then we must come back but this time storm Downing Street. Anyone with any spare JCVs? Anyway, that's only if they go ahead to illegally occupy other countries.

Please, I urge everyone to join in. Tell as many people as you can. These idiots at top need to be taught a lesson.

Thank you,

Ash

stop Bush, stop the cars

As well as driving round and round Parliament Square to protest at Bush, why don't some people simply drive in, stop their cars, take outthe keys and walk away? All it needs is 20 or 30 or so volunteers to stop on Whitehall and the Square and within minutes the whole place will clog up. Maybe a second phalanx could arrive 15 minutes later to block in everyone else. The unmentionable meets an immovable object! Better still and to keep it legal, how about a friendly haulage company vounteering two aging juggernauts to tip into each other, not very hard of course, at the corner of Whitehall and the Square, and letting the fun take its course from there?
