Description: Stop the war coallition
War criminal George Bush will visit London during his European tour this month. He is expected on 15 June.
Stop the War is planning a protest in London on that day against Bush and his war policies, and against the British government’s continuing support for his wars. Watch this space for more details.
Anti-Bush demonstration banned from Whitehall.
The Stop the War Coalition has been informed by the Metropolitan Police that a proposed march, co-organised with CND and the British Muslim Initiative, to protest George Bush’s visit will not be allowed. The Coalition has organised scores of marches on this route, including during Bush’s last visit in 2003.
It seems that when George W Bush visits this country traditional rights of assembly are to be removed from the people. This would be unacceptable for the visit of any foreign leader, but for George Bush, a man many regard as a war criminal, it is particularly deplorable.
We are calling on those who care for our democratic rights to come to Parliament Square at 5.0 pm on Sunday 15 June. Some of those who signed statements accusing Bush of war crimes will be leading this protest, and delivering them to no.10 Downing Street as the march progresses up Whitehall”
George Bush has been dictating British foreign policy for many years. Now it appears his security services are determining our rights of protest. This is a disgrace and we will challenge the ban” Lindsey German, Convenor Stop the War Coalition
“The ban on the Stop The War Coalition march in protest at the visit of President Bush to this country is a totalitarian act. In what is supposed to be a free country the Coalition has every right to express its views peacefully and openly. This ban is outrageous and makes the term ‘democracy’ laughable”.

Windsor Protest!
George Bush has been invited to tea with the Queen. This war criminal should not be feted by royalty, he should be explaining his actions to an international criminal court. Protest his visit at 1.30pm at Windsor and Eton Riverside Rail station for a march to Windsor Castle.
