His visit was met by hundreds of anti-war protestors in central London.
................................

The protest rally was organised by the Stop War Coalition, CND and the British Muslim Initiative.

The demonstrators had planned to march to Downing Street, but police closed down Whitehall and used heavy reinforcements to ensure the metal barrier they erected was not breached. Police brandished batons and three people were arrested.

Andrew Burgin, a spokesman for the coalition, which earlier staged a small demonstration outside Windsor Castle, said: "We think Bush is a war criminal. Both Blair and Bush are responsible by duplicity and lying for an illegal invasion of Iraq."

Good on Andrew Burgin.


London's on major lockdown tonight with swarms of cops near the amassador's residency in Regent's Park.
Maybe the Chimperor is staying there tonight, having been booted out of his Windsor Castle sleepover.

2. "We're enraged that he's here"

I'm enraged when he's in my country too lady.

He should find welcome nowhere on this planet.

3. The Idiot's probably too drunk to take note of the protesters

Kind of like Iraq huh George? You thought they'd welcome you as a liberator, freedom fighter--instead they burned your flag and denounced you as a warmonger.

5. Wonderful to see this. The thug shouldn't be able to

show up anywhere on the planet without a similar greeting committee. I just hope he'll be held accountable for his crimes before he packs up and moves to Paraguay.

8. The midsection of our country is drowning,

and that fool is out of the country. During Katrina he was playing guitar and eating cake. Go figure.

11. nothing can stop the European farewell vacation, prior to the August vacation

ending his Presidency like he started it -- as the vacation President.

9. The Chimp-in-Chief deserves to be kicked out of the UK

not just Windsor Castle.

I have visited England, and I fell in the love with the place, particularly London. I am sorry Bush is in such a grand nation.

No one wants that buffoon around. I am amazed the Queen let him stay in the castle at all this time. Did the secret service ask that part of the castle be altered for the idiot's protection, just like the last time?

Bush will be protested, and calls for his arrest and his trial for war crimes and other charges, made for the rest of his life. He will never be free of it. He will chase him forever, and he brought it on himself.
