Funny how the American Networks come up with a 35,000 figure seeing how the Blair controlled Metropolitan Police Force estimated a very conservative 75,000 figure. Don't you just love the American 'Free Press'.

I agree that there are many people there with different political backrounds from the Looney left to middle class free marketeers protesting. But it really says something when individuals from such varying beliefs can be united by their disregard for an American President. A healthy disregard and indeed utter disrespect that is mirrored throughout Europe.

Did the Networks show the American Vietnam Veterans at the head of the protest carrying the banner "Proud to be American, ashamed of our President"....?

Of course we have a free press. Yes, it’s a conspiracy silvio dante. I bet they knew you had put your foot in your mouth and created these low numbers just to make you look foolish. I bet their really were millions and millions of protesters as you claimed in your doctor evil OP.

From The Guardian:
Dear Mr President,

Today you arrive in my country for the first state visit by an American president for many decades, and I bid you welcome.


You will find yourself assailed on every hand by some pretty pretentious characters collectively known as the British left. They traditionally believe they have a monopoly on morality and that your recent actions preclude you from the club. You opposed and destroyed the world's most blood-encrusted dictator. This is quite unforgivable.

I beg you to take no notice. The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon the buttock of a rather good country. Seventy years ago it opposed mobilisation against Adolf Hitler and worshipped the other genocide, Josef Stalin.

It has marched for Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Andropov. It has slobbered over Ceausescu and Mugabe. It has demonstrated against everything and everyone American for a century. Broadly speaking, it hates your country first, mine second.

Eleven years ago something dreadful happened. Maggie was ousted, Ronald retired, the Berlin wall fell and Gorby abolished communism. All the left's idols fell and its demons retired. For a decade there was nothing really to hate. But thank the Lord for his limitless mercy. Now they can applaud Saddam, Bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il... and hate a God-fearing Texan. So hallelujah and have a good time.

Ah yes. Some good old British Bulldog stick it up them spirit from Freddy. He's the one who promotes the savage cruelty of fox and deer hunting also. Lovely civilised chap. I'm sure he never condsidered book sales in the US either :rolleyes:

I still find it amusing how the networks came up with 35,000. Considereing the size of Trafalgar Square and its surrounding streets, I'd say 250,000 would be an accurate figure. Seeing as it was a thursday it was pretty neat.

Just to clarify I am neither British or Socialist. Just a humble Irishman calling it how it as i see it....

Oh my goodness.. you think their were 250,000 people? Based on nothing but your wants and you would still look foolish, not millions of people.

You need a source for 250,000, the protesters themselves are not going to try and pass off a number greater than 50,000

Silvio Dante, you were not there. News Organizations which have been extremely critical of President Bush and Prime Minister Blair like the B.B.C or as we called it during the war 'the baghdad broadcasting center' have no reason to lie, in fact it was the B.B.C which trumped up the number or protesters who were going to arrive. MSNBC which is exteremly liberal has the same numbers. President Bush hasn't said anything, the free press around the world has reported this along with the fact that he was welcomed by most British people and you still continue to believe a lie.

Edited for update: By the end of the night the number was according to police up to 70,000.

Ah its an update is it? As I said before the Blair controlled Met are obviously going to underestimate the numbers.

It really shows up the American Networks with their 35,000 figure. How limp wristed are they????

No, those numbers were current when I reported them, they changed not for the march but for a gathering later that night. The number according to people who were their stands final at 70,000, still 130,000 less than predicted by them and well, millions less than predicted by you. Have at that crow now.

WAR IS WRONG AND HATEFUL.THOSE WHO SUFFER ARE ALWAYS THE INNOCENT. THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ SUFFERED UNDER SADDAM AND SUFFERED DURING THE WAR TO REMOVE SADDAM AND ARE STILL SUFFER NOW WITH ALL THE BOMBINGS.
WE SHOULD STOP SHIFTING BLAMES.SADDAM WAS WRONG TO TORTURE HIS PEOPLE BUSH AND CRONIES WERE WRONG TO START A WAR THAT MADE THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ SUFFER EVEN MORE.
OUR LORD TAUGHT US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH ONE ANOTHER.HOW IS THIS ACHIEVED?THROUGH FAITH AND PRAYERS.PRAYER IS A POWERFUL TOOL THAT THE LORD LEFT US AND IF WE BELIVE IN HIM AND THAT HE WILL ANSWER OUR PRAYERS, THEN NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.EVEN TYRANTS LIKE SADDAM WILL NOT SURVIVE DUE TO THE THINGS THEY HAVE DONE.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS LETS PRAY FOR WORLD PEACE AND LETS BELIVE JESUS WILL ANSWER.:prayer: :prayer: :prayer:

Yes we could pray and maybe God would come down and do it all for us. But that doesn't happen anywhere else I don't know why you think it would apply to foreign policy. American forces will saye the Iraqis bodies, but we'll leave their souls to you guys.

Up to 130,000 now. I'll have you up to 250K by the end of the day at this rate....;)
