That's when I gave up watching telly.
From memory, Bush and Powell ordered the initial attacks on 19 March 2003 on specific targets where they understood that Saddam and his loons were holed up. The following evening on Union Street, there was mayhem on the Stop The War protest. Dozens occupying the crossroads at Market St/Union St (toonser drivers dinna give a fuuck about box junctions in any case), feds panicking, one of my pals flung into the back of a black maria, from which he escaped because the thin blue line forgot to lock the door or put a copper on it. ��

The STW protest in Glasgow in February remains the biggest demo I’ve ever been on.

And we were right.

I was thinking of the UK Subs when I saw the headline too.
