while I rethink a bit more about the suicide issue in Mexico and try to solve Google banning the video,... I apologise with Joe for this late uploading of his report,...
My friend Joe joined the demonstration against the war, and comments on what happened there. I can only say that here in UK there is strong opposition to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and further support to PREVENT any attack and further invasion of Iran,...
here is the report and photos,.. ()comment by wet_ahuizote)

"Norwich protesters joined the march of around forty thousand that
surrounded Parliament. As the front of the march crossed Lambeth Bridge
the main body of the demonstrators could be seen crossing Westminster
Bridge to the north and along Lambeth Palace Road, so that the march
stretched some two kilometres from Parliament Square in the north to
Victoria Tower Gardens in the south. The police put the estimate at ten
thousand.
This estimate epitomises the frustration felt by many of the
demonstrators, from Quakers and pacifists to the political left and
British people of all ethnicities, faiths and non faiths who march
together. They are protesting mainly under a blanket of media silence and
are demanding an end to the slaughter caused by the US led foreign policy
followed slavishly by the government of the UK. The mood was otherwise
positive with a sea of banners and many demonstrators adopting sometimes
bizarre and eye catching tactics.
People left flowers and shoes at Parliament Square at the short closing
rally. The march also showed the determination of the anti-war movement,
which is bringing public opinion around, so that the majority calls for a
withdrawal of all British troops from the occupied countries of Iraq and
Afghanistan, no attack on Iran and an end to the Siege of Gaza."
