1. what time is the BIG event???

looks pretty sparse right now, considering they were talking about 100,000...

[Kolesar]

2. Yeah, when are they going to pull down the statue of bush*? eom

[RebelOne]

4. Don't know what time.

But I have a feeling it's being shut off. The picture is not changing.
Suppose to change every 5 seconds. It's been the same for 5 minutes now.

[nostamj]

5. it's moving for me! n/t

[RebelOne]

7. Now it's working for me. It just stopped dead for a while.

Looks like the crowds are growing.

[It was not a pretzel]

10. That's where the march ends

so the people there are only the ones waiting rather than marching.

Sky report 60 000 at the start so far.

[Sticky]

3. Ron Kovic is leading them...

I heard on CBC this morning that the crowd may surpass 100,000!

[OneTwentyoNine]

35. Go Kovic! 1234...We don't WANT YOUR FU**ING WAR!!

Still kicking butt after all these years eh.. Ron!!

6. Incredible security lapse at Trafalgar Square

I was looking at the Trafalgar Square web cam images when I noticed the most unbelieveable security lapse right there in the midst of the crowd. Right there in the middle of the square it's... oh dear sweet Jesus... there's a huge lion! Lions are not indigenous to England, so someone had to actually place the ferocious beast there... the CIA probably.

Thank God the animal appears to be resting right now (unless he's already eaten somebody!), but if there are any DUers in London right now, please for the love of humanity call the animal control department before someone gets mauled!!

8. I love those lions...

maybe symbolic for what's in Georgie's future?

[Bucky]

14. If by "symbolic for Georgie's future" you mean...

If by "symbolic for Georgie's future" you mean that he's going to go to the NY Public Library and read a book, then you are sadly quite wrong.

[karlschneider]

16. Well we know for sure lyin's in his past!

:D

[markses]

18. And those three lions on your shirt

They never sprang from England's dirt
Those lions are 'alf-English
And I'm 'alf-English too

23. C'mon, fess up.

Your name really isn't Bucky, is it? You're actually Roy Horn in disguise. I hear you're healing steadily.:-)

[Hieronymus]

9. Anyon know the schedule?

[RebelOne]

11. Nope.

This morning CNN said the statue was going to be toppled in the afternoon. So it's a five-hour difference. Should be soon.

[Terwilliger]

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

13. Demo begins at 3:00 approx

27. Sky News tells us unofficial police estimates at

25K, police on the ground saying 75K and protesters saying 125K

[Spentastic]

22. Update from my marching buddy

Things are backed up at the start of the route.

May take some time for all the people to get to the square.

[myrna minx]

24. Thanks-

Keep us posted. :hi: The images are wonderful.

[remfan]

26. UK Indy media report

<15.36>: Front of the march currently at Westminster Bridge. BBC say police estimate 50,000 people. Sky TV says 60,000 and still people arriving in number at Malet St.

<15.25>: Huge march going over Waterloo bridge now, having started from Malet Street around 2pm. Our reporter is near Lancaster Place. The march is cheerful, colourful, noisy and chilled. There are riot horses at all side streets to enforce the agreed route.

<14.54>: Reports of sixth form students walking out to join demo. 200 students from Shoreditch have ignored warnings of disciplinary action, including arbitrary expulsion if arrested.
