Anyone marchin' on Saturday?

Will anyone else be going to the Stop the War march on Staurday?

Can anyone think of any good slogans?

The best suggestions so far is:

'Oil get you Bush if it's the last thing I do...'

How about -

"I'm against war on general principals, but on reflection it may be the only option at this stage"?

Wils · 14 February, 2003, 04:36:46 AM

or...

"War is pointless. War is evil. War is hell."

And that's on-topic as well!

Wils · 14 February, 2003, 04:37:58 AM

or even

"George and Tony, sitting in a tree..."

dya know theyre even having a march at stornaway Isle of lewis & portree isle of skye, whay to go guys !

"oy Blair do you think we're stupid ?"

sadly i shall be letting the anarcho' side down by whizzing around the countryside in a rally car burning up precious oil in the name of self indulgence. tragically i bet we get more press coverage. tell you what if i get an interview i shall atone for my sins, " yes its a standard 205 with no modifications...death to Blair & Bush....but i felt we held the first stage well...etc"

"War is peace. Freedom is Strength. Ignorance is Slavery."

"Patria o Muerte"

"Dulce est Decorum est Pro Patria Mori"

DavidXBrunt · 14 February, 2003, 06:33:56 AM

That should be Dulce ET decorum...' It's a latin phrase meaning (roughly) 'It is sweet and meet to die for ones country'. An odd choice for an anti-war banner, but fitting in the context of it being the title of one of the World War 1 poet Wilfred Owens most famous poems, as it now sums up all that is wrong about war.

To attone for my earlier silliness may I suggest another Latin Phrase. It means 'Peace always' and was the collegiate motto of Blairs house at University. It might have a sobering effect on him, remind him of earlier idealism. It's worth a try at least. The phrase is 'La Placa Rifa'.

"Allll we are sayyying is give war a chance!"

petemaskreplica · 14 February, 2003, 06:50:33 AM

I'll be marching. First time I've got off my arse and done something since the Poll tax...

Andy Diggle · 14 February, 2003, 03:13:03 PM

Can anyone think of any good slogans?

How about, "Who Watches The Watchmen?"

Yeah, I'll be marching. Well, ambling...

"Who Watches The Watchmen?"

Queen Firey-Bou · 14 February, 2003, 03:53:57 PM

Tex Hex · 14 February, 2003, 04:04:07 PM

Too right. If only 'cos the other half is making me ... Oh, and George square is near some good-ish pubs.

Not that Im against demonstrating, its more that Im a bone idle bugger. If my girlfriend dosnt make me or theres no beer involved, chances are it wont get done.
