THE KYOTO RALLY, May 5 2001.
The Kyoto Rally was the biggest demo in Britain directly responding to the dumping of the Kyoto treaty by American President, George. W. Bush. It was mentioned in Parliament and footage was used on US 'CBS' TV news.

ELECTION PROTEST, June 2001

We demonstrate against climate-unfriendly aspects of both major parties' manifestos but our gatecrashing of a press-call at Tory Party HQ, Smith Square, is particularly satisfying. While Tory worthies are trying to give interviews our 'Lady Planet-in-distress' is shrieking at our 'William Desperate-for-a-vote Hague' who is running her over in his 'Fuel-Tax-Cut Bandwagon' (tricycle). We make it into Channel 4 news.

BUSH "UNWELCOMING" PARTY, July 19th 2001

When Bush visits the UK we are ready to greet him! Here we are with our giant 'Bush Wanted' poster (which could'nt fail to make it onto TV) in Trafagar Square. The Bush motorcade swept past but we followed him in a march down the Mall to Buckingham Palace - with another demo at the US embassy that evening.

THE MARCH AGAINST BUSH,

July 28th 2001

On the Saturday after the Bonn Climate Talks (at which the whole world except the US agreed on the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol) we march from Lincoln Inn's Fields via the central London offices of Exxon Mobil, Aldwych, through central London to the US embassy.

LONG MARCH FOR THE CLIMATE :
ONE YEAR AFTER BUSH DUMPED KYOTO
March 23rd 2002

We march 20 miles from the ExxonMobil ('Esso') UK HQ in Leatherhead to the US embassy, central London, to mark the first anniversary of Bush dumping Kyoto. Larger numbers gather at the Mary Harmsworth Park (outside the Imperial War Museum, Lambeth) for the final 'leg' through central London to the US embassy. For lots more pics click here

'REDCOAT DEMO', July 4th 2002

"Ye Revoltinge Coloniales don't deserve independence while they're wrecking ye planete" We march down to the US embassy in full 18th century 'redcoat' uniforms to reverse the outcome of the War of Independence until Uncle Sam learns to behave like a decent global citizen.....and cooperate with the rest of the world in dealing with the climate change threat.

'BUSH/RAYMOND WEDDING MARCH',
November 16th 2002

Yes, its the long-awaited wedding between George Bush, President of the USA and Lee Raymond, Chief Executive Officer, ExxonMobil ! The wedding march goes from Lincoln's Inn Fields, via the Exxon offices, Aldwych through central London to the US embassy. For more pictures click here .

'KYOTO MARCH'
TWO YEARS AFTER BUSH DUMPED KYOTO
March 29th 2003

This year's Kyoto March is a "March to the End of the World". The message is clear: its global apocalypse from the USA ! For more pictures of this 'Kyoto March' click here . For personal accounts of the march by two people who marched the whole way click here .

"BURNING PLANET MARCH"
Tuesday November 18th 2003

This protest march, superbly timed, for the moment Bush arrived in the UK for his 'State Visit' put climate and the environment on the media agenda. Throngs of media-people gathered at our starting point in Lincoln's Inn Fields and later at the US embassy to hear speeches from Michael Meacher MP and the chief honchos of both Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth.

"KYOTO MARCH 2004"
Saturday, February 12th 2003

The theme this year was "Bush taking us the way the Dinosaurs went". Hence the triceratops and polar bear (in danger of extinction through climate change) behind Michael Meacher, MP as he speaks to the assembled demonstrators at the US embassy. For more pics click here

"GLOBAL FUNERAL MARCH"
Thursday, November 4th 2003

We staged a 'Global Funeral March' to mark the re-election of George W Bush, on the evening of Thursday November 4th (2 days after the election on Tuesday 2nd). For report & pics click here .
