A few points in this report need correcting:

"Anti-war protesters scale the roof of St Margaret's Church, near the Houses of Parliament, to make their point about British troop presence in Afghanistan."

"Three climbers scaled the walls and rooftop of St. Margaret's Church opposite the Village and the Houses of Parliament, where they unfurled a banner and sounded a horn."

Incorrect. They climbed Westminster Abbey, not St Margaret's Church. The banner read: "SOLDIERS HOME, PLEASE".

"Theirs is the third such protest since the village began to take root after the results of the UK's recent general election."

Incorrect. There have been at least NINE banner actions in recent weeks - College Green (at least twice), Downing Street (at least twice), old War Office, Cabinet Office, St Margaret's Church, Treasury and Westminster Abbey. Also, the village was set up on 1 May, i.e. five days BEFORE the general election.

"Brian Haw... remains there in protest at the Iraq government"

Incorrect. Brian's protest, which began 9 years ago next month, was initially against the sanctions against the Iraqi people, but later expanded to encompass the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and, in particular, the use of depleted uranium munitions in those conflicts.
