Stop The War Coalition are hosting an emergency protest this weekend at the US Embassy, London UK, in an attempt to 'stop the war before it starts', against Syria and Iran.

2-4pm GMT, Grosvenor Square. Near Marble Arch tube (if someone has a photobucket etc, drop a map shot in the replies please?)

Now, public outrage isn't anywhere near as high, at least not here, as it was for the Iraq War march nearly 10 years ago, with all the bull about WMD's that came with that. Neither Bashar al-Assad, the Ayatollah nor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are any more popular here than Saddam or Gadaffi were... but, while we can factually say Iran are pursuing a 'nuclear capability', it has yet to be proven this is intended to be weaponised, and is not just for energy. The deliberate mistranslation by MEMRI is well known.

Cue debate about the IAEA report ad infinitum...

If anyone can get there, I may be going along - let me know? I work until 7am Saturday morning, so I'll be tired. Will make the effort if I know there's someone to meet, and make a day out of it. Get here on Eurostar and I'll contribute to your ticket, within reason. It won't be as big as the Iraq protest, but it will sure as shit be on the news, and I figure there will be plenty of great photo opportunities, if nothing else.

Remind me, what have Syria done to us? This is another strategic stepping-stone to the Empire's full-spectrum dominance, and control of world oil and gas. And Israel are champing at the bit. That's not an anti-Israel comment... but isn't it obvious they are the only ones really up for this fight? It's insanity. You'd have to be a fundamentalist to be in it.

We stopped SOPA. We can stop this.

Last person here to realise what these warmongering lunatics could be about to start, please turn out the light?
