Stop the Stop the War march

This late on Sunday, the day after the 200,000-plus Make Poverty History march, the far lower turnout for the Stop the War Coalition’s demo is perhaps a reflection of fatigue more than anything else. We’re not sure of the numbers yet, but, if you want an idea, the length and breadth looked a little like a 50m Olympic-size swimming pool had been drained of its water and filled with people standing in reasonable proximity to each other.
