I'd love to know the numbers.

In 2002 they got about 30,000 out in support of the war then

In 2006 they got 15,000 out.

Now? My guess is that they'll be lucky to get 5,000.

Well done David. I've just got home from there. It kicked off at eleven and I didn't get there until 1.00 pm. There was no one there at all who looked like they had attended a demonstration. A hot dog seller told me it was "nothing like" last week's demo (which was for Palestine) and the Beeb reported 4,000 which, given the only report I have seen on the Beeb about it, describing it as a "peace" rally, is probably an overstatement. It's fair to say that the rally flopped but I'm guessing that is partly due to lack of time to organise it.
