From The Independent:

Thousands to march in support of immediate ceasefire
By Terri Judd and Colin Brown
Published: 05 August 2006

The largest peace march since before the Iraq invasion is expected to descend upon Downing Street today demanding that Tony Blair calls for an unconditional ceasefire in the Middle East.

In a powerful demonstration of the groundswell of opinion across Britain, as many as 100,000 people are predicted to take to the streets around Parliament Square.

As Mr Blair was this week forced to concede that even members of his cabinet had "doubts" over his handling of the situation, protesters will deliver children's shoes to his London home to represent those whose lives have been lost in the 24-day conflict.

One at Penn Station. We need to watch Britain and also Mexico. We are in serious need of lessons.
Those people there are really something. I have been posting pictures from Mexico all week and those people are NOT taking no for an answer as far as a recount. This country needs to stand up for our so called Democracy
We need to watch the voting very carefully on Tuesday
I don't trust them one bit.
