Anti-war protesters from London to Liverpool have taken to the streets, lampooning Prime Minister Tony Blair in their efforts to rally opposition to a military strike on Iraq.
In a burgeoning local peace movement, several thousand people from a wide variety of political and religious groups joined the demonstrations on Saturday when similar protests were springing up around the world.
At the Northwood military headquarters near London, two people dressed up as a pantomime horse with a mask of U.S. leader George W. Bush on the head and Blair at the rear.
