Further to my post #6 on the terrorist threat alert thread ( http://www.deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=15699&postcount=6 )
Here is the latest from the 'Stop the War Coalition' on the demo planned for Blairs appearance tomorrow. Not sure how the attempted police ban on assembly within sight of Blair (if he enters through the main entrance) is going but there does seem to be a head of steam building on this. Stay tuned for tomorrows fireworks - they might just be worth witnessing.

UPDATE: BLAIR INQUIRY PROTEST
People are coming from across Britain for the protest outside
the Iraq inquiry when Blair gives evidence on 29 January.
Colin Redpath, whose son Kirk died in Iraq in 2007, sums up
why we'll be there: "If you are found to be lying and have
misled the British public, and we were taken into an illegal
war, what I want to know is, will he be tried for this crime?
If not, why have this inquiry?"
Stop the War has had wide media coverage this week (see video
here: http://bit.ly/bqjeHN ), and is urging everyone who can
to join the all-day protest, which begins at 8.00am and
culminates around 4.00pm as Blair leaves the building, when we
aim to ensure that he knows there can be no hiding place for
war criminals.
The full timetable is as follows:
TIMETABLE OF PROTEST
8.00: PROTEST STARTS AS BLAIR ARRIVES
Press Conference with military families.
A delegation including Iraqi citizens and grieving military
families will deliver a statement and the People's Dossier of
questions for Tony Blair to Sir John Chilcot.
9.00-10.00: NAMING OF THE DEAD CEREMONY
When Blair's testimony begins, names of Iraqis killed in the
war will be read by novelist A.L Kennedy, Musician Brian Eno,
actor and director Sam West, actor and director Simon
McBurney, playwright David Edgar, Lancet editor Richard
Horton, former UK ambassador Craig Murray, Iraqi author Haifa
Zangana, comedian and author Alexei Sayle, actor Miriam
Margolyes, and more.

Dead ceremony.

war will read the names of all 179 British soldiers who died.

mass-murderers.
