demo

there is a big demo taking place in london tomorrow (18th - coincidently the weekend that v for vendetta opens. its a good film. go and see it. tell them pat sent you).
it's a bit of a mixed demo. it's about the troops out of iraq, it's about defending the muslim community and it's about not attacking iran. who knows by tomorrow they may have also added it is about making sure that pop idol is only allowed back on out screens if george galloway gets to win it.

and talking of the gorgeous one his party, respect, will be there.
now i have to say i am tempted to go along. i am still not convinced the attack and invasion of iraq was a bad thing. what was disastrous was the obvious lack of planning as to what to do once the war had been won. hence the reason the place is going to hell in a handbasket.

so as respect are one of the key players in the whole anti-war debate i thought i would get details from their site. and it's true they have details.

"Saturday 18th March 2006
National - National demonstration
Troops home from Iraq - Don't attack Iran
assemble midday, Central London"

now i may not know london as well as emma, but i do know central london covers a lot of ground. so either they are expect an awful lot of people to arrive and fill up central london. or everyone who is associated with the demonstration knows the exact location of the centre of london (and no doubt there are a few pyschogeographers out there who can tell you where it is).

but hold on help is at hand.

"Respect will be having two stalls at the demonstration. We want to ensure that we have a vibrant presence on the demonstration and are asking as many members as possible to come and help with the stalls and the distribution of placards and the new national Respect tabloid:

Parliament Square stall: 10am – 1pm
Trafalgar Square Stall: 1.30pm onwards."

so they can't tell you where it will meet other than a general "central london" covers a lot of ground, but they can tell you where to buy their latest tract: "target iran" which is written by george galloway. 3g has been busy.

so hats off to respect. can't be arsed to tell you where to meet for the march, but can tell you where to buy stuff from.
it's almost like capitalism is right!

gotta love 3g and his boys.
