Sure, the weeks of covert meetings came up with nothing designed to bait the police and British police don't know their friends. You are the most disgusting type of individual there is, who feels better for spreading hate, danger and high tempers. Your appeasement kills people for worse reasons than you could throw at Bush. I'm glad he's here and if you scared him off I would literally take it as a sign to get out of the country because eveyone's gone crazy. You are more offensive than the average copper any day.

You could emigrate to USA.

Well it would be nice if "protestor"'s first line made any sense. Are 'covert meetings' a reason to attack someone for playing music? And yes, we do know who the police's friends are. I did once believe that they were there to help us all, but that's a belief that's hard to sustain, especially if you tot up deaths in custody.

If you want to leave the country may I suggest living in Turkey as a Kurd or Colombia as an indigenous person? You'll experience that lovely firm hand of authority you seem to love, and you can rest assured it'll all be approved by Bush and Blair.

As for the appeasement crack, we were the people condemning the US, UK et al for supporting Saddam during the worst of his crimes. Where were you?

Alas. So he has come to see you now.

Brutal attacks by the police state on unarmed citizens is the pattern for bush everywhere he goes. Even here, in his own country, he is not courageous enough to actually face The People. He is so despised he must hide and sneak about like the criminal that he is. And everywhere he goes, people pay an enormous price for his presence.

In August of 2002, he came to Portland. Police in our city armed themselves with high tech weaponry, padded themselves with riot gear, and then opened fire with rubber bullets and chemical weapons on thousands of unarmed civilians who stood in the streets to register their dissent against this terrible little man.

During that visit, people who had believed in the US Constitution learned that freedom of speech is a lie in America. School teachers and social workers and little old ladies were beaten and gassed in the streets. A ten month old baby was sent to the hospital after being fired upon, point blank in the face, with pepper spray.

He actually came back again this August, only this time he hid out in a fortified bunker on the outskirts of town while he begged the rich and famous for money. Even at that, he had to be sneaked into the city in a bizarre plot involving decoy limos and subterfuge. It is believed that he was spirited to his expensive speaking engagement crouched in the back of an ambulance as two black limos threw off the crowd. Just like last time, he was never even seen by the thousands of people who turned out to tell him what they really think about him. And just like last time, thousands of armed storm troopers met the people in the streets. Snipers perched on top of buildings, armed gunships hovered in the skies, armed tanks patrolled the streets, and the police once again unleashed pepper spray and clubs on unarmed civilians.

(There were some victories, though. The bus carrying delegates who had come to bring him money was detained by protesters.)

Now, he has come to your country. Once again, the people will be left with scars, chemical burns, and an enormous bill to cover the high tech security required to host this man who would be king. Why does he even come out, if it's not to see the people? Why does he foist these ridiculous, expensive, violent "visits" on cities around the world, only to be hidden from view, only to ignore the people he pretends he came to see? Why do we allow this?

I can only say we, the working people of the United States, stand with you in solidarity. Thanks for standing up against this monster and everything he represents. Don't believe the lie being told by the corporate media -- we do NOT support this man, he was NOT elected, he does NOT represent the people of the United States.

What a stupid comment to make - to tell anti-Bush protesters to leave the country if you're not happy there!

As an American living abroad, it is heartening to see the degree of good-natured and witty satire the Brits are using at this critical state visit. Keep it up and think of some more!

Bush has been protected by his corporate media connections for far too long, as well as his army of security detail who clear out any dissenting views or images. This visit to an ally nation helps to illustrate what a destructive, aggressive and violent role Mr. Bush has played in both domestic and foreign affairs. The British right now are helping bring light to how much this man and his misadministration's agenda is loathed and mistrusted throughout the world.

At least you CAN do satirical protesting in the UK. During the inauguration in Washington, DC in 2000, satirical puppets were banned from the presidential cavalcade down Pennsylvania.

More up-to-the-minute info please on what is happening outside Buckingham Palace. Heard that aggro had started, police had made some arrests, what is happening? Please post some info asap... Thanks.

Thanks from Argentina!!!
Keep up! The civilized world expects a lot from London anti Bush movements.
We, the people of the world, are thousands of millions, they, the stablishment, are a few corporations supported on force and death. We shall win, sooner or later.
Regards to you all!!!

The city I live in was the one that was attacked,
and I still think that George is the Anti-Christ.

I don't believe a word he says; I don't think that
he has the best interests of Americans, let alone
human beings in general, in mind; I think he is a
pernicious influence on the world and must be stopped
immediately.

Most of the average people that I know likewise despise
George Bush. I wish I were there humiliating him with you;
lieu of that, please accept my little note of
encouragement written in the spirit of solidarity.

Maybe one day soon we, the average people of the world, can make
it so that not one square foot will be left on the planet
where the Anti-christ can have peace of mind. I think we are
very, very close to that goal.

Friends, you are doing a good job! My heart and mind is with you these days.

Be proud of what you are doing. Stand up against the real terrorists. You are not alone, you have the support of millions around the globe!

Nothing ever burns down by itself...

Thank you for the protests.

Today I can be proud of being a Londonner. It's nice, as yesterday I was ashamed of living in a country that is sending troops to Iraq!

Good on ya!
Aussies are with ya, POWER to the peaceful!

Pity we'll have to see you on Saturday night's final, but that's another story... ;^)

Somebody Has got to do the Job and the Britons has choosen to lead Keep it pumping the Heathens can't be on top forever

Nice to see the people on the streets. Chase that f*cker back to his white house. And send the bill for closing down London with him.
