Jesse Jackson to Attend Anti-War Rally in London

London (CNSNews.com) - The Rev. Jessie Jackson will be one of the headlined speakers at a planned anti-war rally in London this weekend, organizers said Wednesday.

A spokeswoman for the Stop the War Coalition said that Jackson decided to come to England because war protests in the British capital are "more important at the moment" than similar protests in the United States.

Several members of Parliament from the ruling Labor Party will be marching in opposition to their party's official line, and the leader of Parliament's third-largest bloc, Liberal Democrat Charles Kennedy, has said he would speak at the rally.

Organizers estimate that up to 500,000 people will attend Saturday's march.

"...war protests in the British capital are "more important at the moment" than similar protests in the United States."

Translation: People here are onto The Rev. Jackson.

I thought Jessie Jackson had been banned from entering the U.K.

If he hasn't, he should be.

My Question is, Why isn't he on the double Decker heading to Iraq aiding in the Human shield quest?

When he leaves for London, CLOSE THE BORDER.

Message to England: Send him to France and don't forget to close your border after he leaves.

Message to France: Two words. I can't type the actual message, but it has something to do regarding exercise with female sheep.

Where does this freeloader get all this money to travel around the world. The last I heard was that he has no real job, cheats on his wife, lies and extorts money from people.
