American expatriates to lead the protests against Bush
By Marie Woolf, Chief Political Correspondent
15 November 2003
Americans marching beneath a banner proclaiming "Proud of My Country,
Shamed by My President" will lead a demonstration against George Bush
during his state visit next week. The Stop the War Coalition, which is
organising the rally, expects up to 100,000 people to take to the
streets of London and express their hostility to the American
President.
Trade union members, Muslim groups, environmentalists and peace
activists will join forces for the march, with about a hundred US
expats, who are adamant the event should be perceived as an indictment
of their President, not a snub to their country.
Luke Robinson, 29, a website developer from the United States who has
lived in Britain for four years, is among those who will attend the
protest. He will be joined by American academics and City
workers."Most of us love our country and won't take any anti-American
sentiment but we feel this guy is leading us down a bad path," he
said. "Allowing a fully fledged state visit is [sending] a bad message
that Britain is really backing Bush. The pictures from this visit will
definitely be used in his election campaign."
Demonstrators carrying placards reading "Bush - Blair Dumb and
Dumber", "Bush Eco-terrorist" and "George W.ar Criminal", as well as
blood-splattered anti-Bush banners, will gather in Trafalgar Square
where a mock statue of the US President will be symbolically toppled.
Coachloads of demonstrators who oppose the war in Iraq and Mr Bush's
environmental and economic policies are to be bused in from Wales,
Scotland and the West Country among other points. Michael Moore, the
American film maker and comedian who is known for his outspoken views
on the US leader, is donating $1,000 to transport demonstrators in
from Manchester. Pupils missing school, worshippers from mosques
around Britain and a busload of pensioners from an old people's home
in Hounslow, west London, will also join the march to express their
anger at the visit. Alongside them will be members of the far-left
Socialist Workers' Party, the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats, and
peace demonstrators from CND and other anti-war groups. A large
contingent of Greens will make their feelings known on President
Bush's environmental policies. They plan to express their opposition
with a week of events including a street party and an anti-Bush
home-made T-shirt competition outside Buckingham Palace on Wednesday
evening.
"Bush would be better off staying at home to sign the Kyoto Protocol
on global warming than coming to Britain," said Spencer Fitzgibbon, a
former army officer and member of the Green Party executive.
The exact route of the march is still being negotiated with the
Metropolitan Police, who will have 5,000 officers on duty. The
protesters want to parade past the Houses of Parliament and Downing
Street but police have suggested a shorter route, which would keep
them away from Whitehall.
There will be 500 stewards to try to ensure the march does not
deteriorate into the sort of violent attacks on American businesses,
such as McDonald's restaurants, that have marred anti-capitalism
demonstrations in recent years.
The march organisers insist they have not had any trouble during seven
previous events and insist Thursday's protest will not be hijacked by
anarchist groups. Meetings with the police yesterday were said to have
been constructive. They will meet again on Monday to discuss the
route.
A spokesman for the Stop the War Coalition said: "We are not anti the
American people - in fact many share our reservations about President
Bush. This is about the President. There are 500 local Stop the War
groups who are bringing people from around the country and the phones
are ringing non-stop. We are making 6,000 placards."
The march represents the main event in four days of anti-Bush events,
for which the President has drafted in an entourage of more than 500
people, including up to 200 secret service and security personnel. On
Tuesday activists are organising a public rally in London with
high-profile speakers including the acclaimed playwright and actor
Harold Pinter, and the Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic, whose story inspired
the Tom Cruise film Born on the Fourth of July. The former Labour
cabinet minister Tony Benn and George Galloway MP, who was recently
thrown out of the Labour Party for his public comments about the war,
will also speak.
There will be a march to the American consulate in Edinburgh on
Wednesday and a petition from people throughout Britain will be
presented to Downing Street on Monday.
