Excerpt:
Anti-war protesters plan to topple and dance on a mock statue of Bush 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 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.

Excerpt:
Plans for the Queen and George W Bush to make a triumphant procession along the Mall during
the president's state visit next month have been abandoned because of fears of anti-war protests.

The decision, taken by Downing Street after consultations with Buckingham Palace, the White House
and Scotland Yard, has disappointed the president and his senior aides.

The procession is traditionally the public high point of a state visit. A senior Palace official said that
detailed plans had been made. "But Downing Street, anxious about possible anti-war protests from
the start, has now decided to pull the plug on it," said the official.

1. As they should...
Yes that's how educated people would naturally respond to Bush imperialism.

Unforunately, America is filled with dumbf*cks.

10. Too bad for Bush...
...I know England was on his short-list of places he could live after being unSelected by a landslide. He felt he's be free from prosecution in the UK, and they speal American there, too, so he wouldn't have had to pick up a foreign language.

This is great news. That asshole needs to know how much he's hated by the world and he IS hated.
