Slamming the planned visit, Darren said President Bush is totally deserving of his predicted un-welcome to London because of his point-blank refusal to tackle climate change.
“Bush is clearly not welcome in Britain. The President should stay home instead and get the United States to play its part in tacking global warming and take its fair share of responsibility for cutting carbon dioxide emissions”, declared Darren.
Greens are saying that Bush is contributing to the instability of the global climate, which is a threat to the whole planet. Protestors plan to ‘un-welcome’ Bush as soon as he arrives, to make sure that he knows that they are still angry about his refusal to do anything about climate change. They are assembling at 6pm at Lincoln’s Inn Fields to march via the Exxon Mobil offices in Aldwych through central London to the US Embassy.
“Bush is bad for Iraq, bad for the US and bad for the global climate”, concluded Darren.
