Taking up Chris=92s idea of sharing information we could use in anti-war
leaflets, I wonder if any of you have information on the history of
political demonstrations in the US and UK in terms of sheer numbers. Am
I right in thinking that if Saturday=92s London rally reaches 0.75
million, that it will be the largest ever political demonstration in the
UK? Does anyone have comparable measures for the US? Chomsky was
interviewed the other week saying that the anti-war movement in the US
at the moment is considerably larger than at a comparable time during
the Vietnam War.
