Bush in England

Andrew Sullivan has a post (and a London Times article due Sunday -- check his site) regarding the Fascist Left's mobilization to "welcome" President Bush on his upcoming trip to London. From all accounts it will greatly resemble the Seattle WTO "demonstration." Andrew quotes an email from the "front":

...The BBC is working the country into a frenzy regarding the upcoming Bush visit. Personally, I would love to go up to London and hold a placard welcoming the President but I fear for my safety. The Mall looks great with all the flags but I have no doubt it will all be trashed. We're getting reports that anarchists will storm Buckingham Palace. The papier mache effigies of W are nearly complete...
Now, I was in England last February, during the Great Demos to save Iraq (from the clutches of Cheney and Haliburton, apparently). The BBC was no better then. That time around, when the organizers (ANSWER, SPECTRE, THRUSH, etc) were trying to influence public opinion, the demos were orderly, due to the numerous "civilians" present. This time it's going to be the dead-enders in a fit of rage, and I have great hope that they will wear out their welcome.

In any event, I'm going to enjoy comparing the Lunatic Left's tantrum to the reception Bush gets next, oh, September in Basra and Baghdad.
