SCHOOL’S OUT Pupils' anti-war protest Tony Blair can easily ignore a llt}'.'.'f; reporter sayrng 'people all over the '.'.'or!d protested today but he cannot ignore tens of thousands of children walking straight out of school past pleading teachers x'ritliout permission and marching to a protest.

Anti-war protesters in France .2; one thing. but angry teenagers all over the UK clashing wrth police. smashing through barricades and blocking off all the roads cannot be ignored. For us, it's ‘.’l(2I()l‘,/ or death.

Tony Blair thinks that teenagers are not Interested in politics and accused Tommy Sheridan of manipulating school children who are not interested in politics to miss school. Being 1:3 ny'selt I would disagree with Tony Blair as it appears he has never been 1:3 in his lite tor is most likely too old to rememberi.

The day of the protest at the

Mound in Edinburgh the police.

unable to stop children. decided to block everyone off and began getting yrolent. Two 't‘ll‘tlIOS later we had smashed through their 30-ll‘8lt-SIFOIIQ barricade and my iFIC‘IIfI had to punch one who had raised his police baton.

Does rt get up anyone's nose that we have all the ‘eat healthy etc ads from the Scottish EXOCLrtrye? What a waste of honey. particularly wrth n‘y grievance: where can you buy trurt on the streets of City centre Glasgow?

People Wlih limited income are not going to go to M88 to buy 12 grapes for 50p Or a peeled apple and all that nonsense. Rather than spending money wrth SMG. can we have barra boys in the pedestrian preCrncts to sell are a granny Smith?
