What a brilliant idea, would have loved to see the look on those yankee faces! Like the combination of humour with a very serious subject - true subversiveness. Have a look at their site for some more good pics. Look forward to seeing what else they get up to.
Fabulous!

There's more truth in that one photo of a small group of people than in endless hours of BBC (no relation) reportage on international affairs.
I've always thought "weapons of mass destruction" was a misnomer for "weapons like ours", a term which clearly has less propaganda value for our militaristic rulers.
Just like "the war on terrorism" the term WMD has been uncritically adopted by the corporate media.
But not everyone wants to acquiesce in this charade, and here's the proof.
Respect most certainly due and gladly given.
