At the anti-war march in London:
The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, launched a scathing attack on the US president, George Bush, during his address to crowds in London's Hyde Park.
"This is a president who uses the death penalty with complete abandon and disregard for any respect for life. This is no example," Mr Livingstone said.
"So let everyone recognise what has happened here today: that Britain does not support this war for oil. The British people will not tolerate being used to prop up the most corrupt and racist American administration in over 80 years.
"If you listened to Tony Blair today ... he talked about giving more time to the inspectors, he talked about the need for a new UN resolution, and there's the weakness.
"There are nations on the security council that are for sale. Nations who will be offered the liquidation of their debts and offered major grants. Let's watch the security council like hawks.
"Let's not, having won the moral case and demonstrated the opposition of the world, lose this fight because of corruption and vote-buying on the security council."

Isn't he also--like Barney Frank--an avowed Homosexual? I am not trying to start a witch-hunt, but isn't he one of those who wear his deviancy as a badge of honor?
If I have him mixed up with a predecessor, then I am sorry. I do not smear people with whom I disagree. I have no problem dealing with any Leftist argument. (The last one who gave me any problem was decades ago.) But there was quite a stir about someone favored to win the post of Lord Mayor of London, a couple of years ago, and believe that this is the one.

Maybe he should go take up residence in Cuba and leave London alone
"The British and American governments are about to destroy all hopes for peace anywhere in our world for ever. This war has already begun."
Forever? Isn't that crediting the British and American governments with some pretty impressive, one might even say "divine" powers? Also, since the war has already begun, and peace has therefore already been "destroyed forever", isn't it a bit late to be protesting, Vanessa?
It's in the menu on the right hand side.
(I found this in a post on FR last night -- can't remember who posted it.)
