Anti Bush march to Shannon airport

.

One hundred protestors left the Peace camp at 6pm to march to Shannon Town Centre. There the buoyant and animated group of protestors joined with 800 anti war protestors and attempted to march to Shannon Airport.
People were there for a variety of reasons. One man said he was there to show his opposition to Bush and his cowboy administration and to those states that limp wristedly support him in the attrocities that they commit. Some were there for environmental reasons as Bush has pulled out and therefore nullified the Kyoto agreement; while others were there with Palestinian flags in solidarity with the occupied territory.
The debarcle of Bush's visit, hid behind lines of police, fences, and the military. The protestors, unpreturbed by rain and over policing, made themselves heard and many returned to the peace camp where at present their numbers swell despite the fact that they are camping under a Gardai spotlight and subject to regular patroling.
