I am not sure that is really true. That said we seem to be moving more and 
more towards totalitarianism and that wont be good for those of us who 
value freedom in it's many forms.

I propose the cafe in Borders, Oxford Circus. Anywhere near the start 
point for the march will be too crowded as I discovered last time.

I suspect tonight will mark the start of 4 or 5 days of sustained 
bombardment and the ground forces will not have launched the major ground 
attack until that is done so I think we'll still have plenty of murder to 
protest come the weekend.
