Bush and Blair Toppled

The people of Cambridge gathered in the Market Square this lunch time to witness (and take part in!) the toppling of statues of two of the most dangerous political leaders in the world.
Goodbye Mr. Bush
...and you Tony!
World free from two dictators
There were about a hundred people present…similar to the ‘huge crowds’ that tore down the Saddam Hussein statue in Baghdad earlier this year. We were able to do this without the assistance of American soldiers.
Comments were read out from people in the USA who were using UK IndyMedia to send messages of support to anti-Bush activists. There was also an open forum for people to talk about their attitudes to Bush, the war in Iraq and a number of other issues.
People will be reassembling in the Market Square at 6pm tonight for further anti-Bush activities.

You need to go back to protest school. The idea is to give the illusion that you are part of a mass grass roots movement. Can't you europeans do anything correctly?

You can follow their creative activities by looking at the UK IndyMedia homepage at
"The idea is to give the illusion..." That maybe your idea of how the media should work (no great surprise if you are living in the USA or indeed in Britain) but it's not mine.
Have a nice day! :-)

Also the Iraqi people who toppled the Saddam statue may no longer be in danger from that (US and UK armed and supported) dictator any, but they are sadly liable to have the US controlled administration "send troops to their home to arrest, rape, torture, kill their families".
