We thought of it first! From
Middle East Online (thanks to
Counterspin for the head's up):
Bush's homemade statue to be toppled in London
CND spokeswoman says idea is to highlight how fake toppling of Saddam statue in Baghdad was on April 9.
British demonstrators angry at Anglo-American policy over Iraq said they will topple Thursday a giant homemade statue of George W. Bush in London's Trafalgar Square during a protest march against his three-day state visit.
From our
post of 10 April 2003: (actually, this is a brightened version of our original image which was rather dark)
It's not in the story (above), but we heard on the radio that the statue will be toppled (more accurately, pulled down) by a pink papier-mache tank.
All in all, it should be fun.
