The demonstrators marched from Embankment to the Houses of Parliament, up Whitehall and along Piccadilly to protest against possible strikes on Iraq. Organisers said around 400,000 protesters made the journey to the capital, but police put the official figure at 150,000. Oil charge They said the campaign to order Iraq to relinquish weapons of mass destruction was an excuse to fight a war for a better deal on oil prices. Organised by the Stop the War coalition, the marchers included pacifists, socialists and pro-Palestinian groups. The marchers chanted: "No blood for oil" and "Sharon is a killer", referring to the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Labour opposition They were opposing proposed military action against Iraq by US President George Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair. The demonstrators were addressed by speakers including veteran left-winger Tony Benn and London Mayor Ken Livingstone, who warned that the Government could not go on ignoring the protests. "It's one of the most powerful demonstrations there's ever been for peace," he said. "One day people are going to have to have a peaceful revolution to make sure Parliament answers to them and not just the government of the day." The organisers said they would be calling a Don't Attack Iraq Day of Action on Thursday October 31 involving college occupations and teach-ins, workplace meetings and protests and peaceful "direct action".
