LONDON (Reuters) - Anti-war protesters plan to topple and dance on a mock statue of President Bush (news - web sites) in the center of London as part of demonstrations to "blight" his visit to Britain next month.

Their re-working in Trafalgar Square of the famous humiliation of a Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) statue in Baghdad six months' ago will be among running protests including marches and a mock trial of Bush planned around his November 19-21 state visit.

"People are excited about the prospect of opposing George Bush because they feel this visit adds insult to the injury already caused by the Iraq (news - web sites) war," said Lindsey German, of Stop the War Coalition, one of various groups planning the events.

"Wherever he is, from the moment he arrives to the moment he goes, there will be protests of one sort or another," she added at a news conference on Thursday.

A petition has been launched to ask the British government to cancel his visit, and, assuming that will not be heeded, a mock state procession will be staged and a ''Goodbye George'' concert held the day he leaves.

I think Bush should be tried in a not-so-mock trial, but I can't get enough people to agree...OH well :shrug:

I hope the turnout this weekend is just as huge as February 15th!
