    As this chart shows, left-wing terrorism dwarfs right-wing terrorism in Europe -- perhaps surprising given the attention paid to Europe's far right. Islamist and Separatist terrorism, however, remain the largest categories.

    Perhaps we should march about T&S - we could all travel to London on expenses.

    started a topic Lets have a march - what shall we march about?

    Lets have a march - what shall we march about?

    Child abuse? Inequality in society? World hunger?

    No! Lets march about the opening of a reservoir!

    Tryweryn: March to remember flooded village - BBC News

    400 people marched for that! That is equal to the biggest march f4j ever had!

    No wonder the government can do what they want if people will only march about reservoir opening.

    They should try being like the "save the pound" march in 2002 which got 60000 marchers and almost zero publicity. Or the march against the Iraq war. 2 million marchers. But of course the WMD argument won the day. That finished well...
