100,000 set to protest Bush visit to Britain

SUPPORT for a huge demonstration against US President George W Bush’s visit to Britain was growing last night on the eve of last ditch talks aimed at agreeing a route for the march.

Officials said attendance at the protest could be more than 100,000. Organisers of the demo, due to be held in central London on Thursday, will meet Scotland Yard officers today to try to end deadlock over which roads can be included on the march.

The Stop The War Coalition said it remained hopeful of reaching an agreement.
