I'm seething with anger because of this report by Charles Hanley on The Independent's website:

US troops opened fire today on anti-American demonstrators for the second time this week, during a march to protest about the previous shootings. At least one person was reported to have been killed and 16 wounded.

I finally watched this tonight and found myself getting sucked into it totally.
I vaguely remember Curtis' death but the big music death that year was later, when John Lennon was murdered. I knew Joy Division from listening to Peel and I was very distrustful when I heard a new band was coming along. But [...]
I've been a Labour voter all my life. As soon as I could vote, I voted for Labour. I swore, when Thatcher was glorying in slaughter after the Falklands, that I'd never vote for another party in my lifetime.
Very soon, Britain will have its local council elections. And I won't be voting Labour.

London, 13th April: Fewer than 50,000 runners competed in a so-called “marathon” today (organisers claimed 36,000, the police claimed only 1,000, if that. Probably less).

There were way more than 20,000 people on that anti-war march today. Way more. I'm not saying it was as big as the Feb15 one (1.5 million) or the March22 demo (around 400 - 500,000) but [...]
Those lovely people at Warp Records have managed to get hold of footage that reveals Bush’s plans for the world:
BUSHWHACKED!
WARNING: It’s a 15meg Quicktime .mov file so it’ll take a while.
No point marching on Saturday because, according to the USK propaganda, the battle for Baghdad is over and everything's peachy.
But I'm watching the news now and apparently they haven't got control of Baghdad - they're still fighting.
How many fucking times is our TV media going to LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH TO US?
Does ANYONE take [...]

I only managed to photograph half the acts playing that day - too much other mad shit going on!
Just in case anyone's thinking it'll just be ten of us in London. Nicked from the Stop The War website :
One of many international demonstrations against the War on Iraq taking place [...]
