ANTI-WAR PROTEST AT DOWNING STREET

Whitehall, London, 28 July 2006

Stop The War Coalition handed over a petition to Tony Blair, signed by 8,000 people, calling for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon -- and calling for Tony to stop listening to George Bush. The protest numbered a few hundred, and was restricted by the police to the opposite end of Whitehall, facing Downing Street. A small party then went on to hand over the petition across the road.

Video clips of the protest chanting:

A policeman explains to Andrew Murray (light blue shirt, right) that they are not allowed to use the megaphone in the protest. They did, however, permit Andrew to briefly state the aims of the protest -- as can be seen in this video clip:

The protesting tradition is cultivated from a tender age.
