The following is a first hand account by 'G' a fifteen year old scottish school pupil of the protests in edbinburgh yesterday.

'Tony Blair can easily ignore a news reporter saying 'people all over the world protested today' but he CAN NOT ignore tens of thousands of children WALKING straight out of school past pleading teachers without permission and marching to a protest.

Anti-war protesters in France is one thing but angry teenagers all over the UK clashing with police, smashing through barricades and blocking off all the roads can not be ignored. For us, it's victory or death!!!!. Tony Blair thinks that teenagers are not interested in politics and accused Tommy Sheridan of manipulating school children which are not interested in Politics to

miss school. Being 15 myself I would disagree with Tony Blair as it appears he has never been 15 in his life (Or is most likely too old to remember).

The day of the protest at the mound in Edinburgh the police (unable to

stop children) decided to block everyone off and began getting violent. Two minutes later we had smashed through their 30-man-strong barricade and my friend had to punch one who had raised his police baton. Police were seen pulling girls hair and knocking people to the ground, even picking fights with journalists.



After we all broke through their barricade (I was 5th to ge through).

Everyone charged at the opening in the Police line and the authorities were forced to scatter. (Good work to all those friendly Protecter of the Law Police out there, you really did a good job of losing a fight against 9 school children).

A little message from me Tony 'Your too Old, Lets go, Its over'. This

isn't the 1800's anymore.
