Sort of like lemmings, with the same suicidal tendencies. The Guardian ever so kindly provides this mental image.
Last night the mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, mobilised figures from showbusiness, politics and diplomacy to highlight his opposition to the state visit and the war on Iraq.
He staged a Peace Reception on the top floor of City Hall, where a crowd of 200 heard speeches condemning Mr Bush and his administration.
The principal guest was Ron Covic, the Vietnam veteran turned anti-war activist whose experiences inspired the film Born on the Fourth of July.
Mingling with MPs such as George Galloway were outspoken figures such as Martin Bell, Beryl Bainbridge and the film director Ken Loach. Musician Damon Albarn and playwright Harold Pinter were also invited.
Covic is spelled with a "K" Einstein, it's Ron Kovic. He parties with Galloway? He of the Iraq bank accounts and funny money Galloway? And Pinter?....Drink a cup "o" blood Pinter?....... It's nice they all get along so famously. All that egotistical bile together in one room must have creaked the floorboards. Bet they even stuck their pinkies in the air when they sipped their drinks.
I wonder if they considered this. They opposed us in Kosovo too. Mean old imperialists making war on harmless people. Harmless people like Saddam, Galloway's employer. They turned a blind eye to all of that, ignored it completely. Bush is the greater evil they say.
I'm only asking myself why they haven't run out and taken up arms.
I wish they would.
