http://www.bloggerheads.com/can_weblogs/bush_bum.aspUPDATE (Sep 25th)- Press Release: The President of the United States has accepted an invitation from The Queen to pay a State Visit to the United Kingdom from Wednesday 19th November to Friday 21st November 2003. The President will be accompanied by Mrs Bush and will stay at Buckingham Palace.
So, we could be mooning the palace en masse. Or not. A mass-mooning may very well clash with the fine (and rather more restrained) actions of the Stop the War Coalition. I'd like to avoid that, if at all possible.
A vast amount of money is bound to be spent protecting our illustrious visitor from embarrassment. The Met did a very good job of ensuring, during the most recent worldwide peace marches, that London was the only city not to host a protest outside the U.S. Embassy. We should expect a similar level of police involvement (and harassment) this time around.
We should also expect less than fair treatment at the hands of certain media owners, most notably Rupert 'The Evil One' Murdoch.
Still, even if the threatened action leads to massive protective cordons and we don't get anywhere near The Unworthy One, this will be a victory in itself. There will be no happy crowds to greet George W. Bush.
Also, rather than staging a mass-mooning, we may very well get by with rolling guerrilla action if awareness continues to spread at the rate it has been. Right now I'm quietly thinking up plans along these lines.
Many people have signed up for the alert list, ready and willing to bare their bums for the nation. Please feel free to join us.
