UK - Anti-war protest fails

Yesterday I posted about the failure of the anti-war protests in Australia. Only about 500 protesters showed up.

In that post, I speculated that it would be interesting to see if the same thing happened in London. And it did.

Here's how the BBC describe the protest.

But thousands chose to leave those comforts behind to vent their frustration at the continuing British military involvement in Iraq.


In the past the BBC were quite happy to quote us a figure. Not so for this march.

What's even more revealing is the lack of pictures. In the past the BBC would show us a picture of the "thousands" that gathered. Not so for this march.

Not only that, but a quick check of the online edition of the papers, shows no mention of the march. Neither the Times or the Guardian report on the march, at least I couldn't find any.

Here's how CNN described the world wide failure of the anti-war movement.

Protests were also held in Australia, Asia and Europe, but many events were far smaller than organizers had hoped. [Note the "far smaller" ]

In London, police said about 15,000 people joined a march from Parliament and Big Ben to a rally in Trafalgar Square. Planners had expected 100,000.


Now you know why the left wing BBC and Guardian didn't want to report on the failed march.

Maybe people are becoming more aware that the leaders of the anti-war movement are communists. If they are, it's thanks to us bloggers because the BBC fail to inform the public that yesterdays London march was organized by communists.

Gateway Pundit has a breakdown of protest numbers by country. It shows a dramatic drop in support for these moonbats. And that's a good thing.

UPDATE

I found this BBC webpage with some pictures. Notice how most of them are close up shots or of just a single individual, except for the London shot. And get this caption for the last photo.

"But the message across the globe was the same - to end the war in Iraq."


Well, that's the message the BBC wants to send anyway. But as you can see, almost nobody was listening to the moonbats.
