The following images were shot at a range of anti war rallies in London, over the five weeks I was there. From the protest Wednesday March 19 at Westminster Square, the night war kicked off, to the huge rally the Saturday after at Hyde Park, they were amazing events to see.
Whilst not wishing to enter the debate over whether the war should have happened at all, there is an interesting point to note. My time in London saw me meet a vast array of people, in all manner of circumstance. From concise business meetings at the London Book Fair to drinking myself cross-eyed in the bars of Soho and Camden Town or loading up on lard at one of the workers café's, there was but one common thread. I never met a soul who supported the war.
'This war is bullshit'.
I must have heard that expression a hundred times. Yet I also kept hearing public opinion polls, that at worst got down to 50/50 regarding the war.
Maybe I was just meeting the wrong public.
