Pictures of Edinburgh "Unwelcome Bush" Demothe Herald: Thousands march in protest at visit THOUSANDS of people took to the streets in Scotland's two biggest cities yesterday to protest against George W Bush's visit to Britain...
At St Enoch Square, the crowd shouted and whistled in approval as Tommy Sheridan, leader of the Scottish Socialists, told them it was an insult to UK citizens that the country's leaders had "rolled out the red carpet" to welcome the US president.
Referring to the ancient US Navy ships that are currently in the north-east of England waiting to be dismantled, Mr Sheridan said: "I would like to invite Mr Bush to come as far north as Hartlepool and then we could put him on one of his toxic ships and send him back."
Scots from every walk of life joined the protests yesterday, ranging from babies in prams to pensioners.
