\nAs usual the London traffic cams were all “not available for operational reasons” so no-one could even watch it to get a good feel for the size of it.
\nThe theme was maybe more one of hate directed at Blair than anti war protest but there were a good deal of anti Israel sentiment too due to the on-going occupation of Palestine.
\nI took some photos<\/a>
\nUPDATE:
\nAccording to Sky<\/a> the organisers says 100 000 people showed up, the police says 20 000. I guess that puts it around 50 000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
