...you know, where people are so considerate that they don't protest in the street (a la Wilbur Ross).

he has a very long (i.e. eternal) wait. He's a coward. Even Bush braved the British protests (which can be as loud and in-your-face as ours).

They had to cancel the Mall procession, so we had our own with a horse-drawn carriage carrying characters in Shrub and QEII masks, followed by the Pink Tank of Love.

We protested outside the Palace, where his helicopter demolished a garden going back to Victoria's day. We protested the American Embassy, where he had to sneak in a side entrance.

Then there was the main event, where a giant plaster of Paris statue of Shrub was pulled down in Trafalgar Square, ala Sadam Hussein. I still have a piece of the statue.

Little did we know what was in store for us a dozen or so years later.

Ugh.
