 Anne Windsor (Princess Anne for royalists) On the Run in Derry Anne Windsor, daughter of the Queen of England, was forced to go on the run in Derry this morning. In the city to open the new library at the University of Ulster the Royal entourage were shocked to find themselves confronted with anti-war protesters carrying a large banner stating, “Save the Children of Iraq”. Anne Windsor is patron of the Save the Children fund and Colonel –in-Chief of a number of British Army regiments. Protesters chanted ‘England take your princess back-save the children of Iraq’. Heavy security surrounded the event with sharp-shooters on the roof of the new building. The security was not heavy enough however to stop a second banner getting smuggled into the Humanities and Social Science building which faces the new library. As the convoy arrived the second banner snaked its way out of a third floor window proclaiming “ Books for Derry- Bombs for Baghdad.” Security staff later kicked in the door of the third floor office breaking the door frame in the process. The PhD student who works in the office was then ordered to leave but refused. As the VIP convoy left the University protesters raced to the front entrance and chased the convoy down the Rock Rd despite the best efforts of riot police who were caught off guard. The departure was less than gracious.

Anne saxe coburg goethe /mark philips "windsor" is not the bonny prince stewarde, even though she has had the same haircut for forty years, and is pushed to the fore as the scottish member of the "not Stuart" saxecoburggoethewindosr clan she is n't the historical character and so will pass her long days safe from Swimmie skirmishes.

Great action! very worthwhile as many campaigners/groups are blowing in with the 'save the children' mantra - whereas they maintain their silence when we are killing the children. Similarily Bono and his ilk are now jumping on the Send rations, food etc. to Iraq whilst ignoring the fact that our 'leaders' are blowing the population to bits. Interestingly, the U.S army now appears to be acting as an aid agency on the ground.
