The Socialists claim they had 50,000, organizers say it was 40,000, but police put the figure at 10,000 people.

That being the case, it sure seems like the antiwar movement is petering out.

Thousands of anti-war protesters joined marches in Britain on Saturday to mark the fifth anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq.

They took to the streets in London and the Scottish city of Glasgow demanding that British troops pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

A spokesman for the Stop The War coalition, which organised the marches, said that five years after the invasion of Iraq, the world had become "a much more dangerous place."

Like with tallying up the numbers of protestors, some are prone to wild exaggeration.

"Estimates suggest as many as one million people have died violent deaths as a result of the occupation of Iraq," spokesman Paul Collins said.

Wow, even the editors of the Lancet laugh at this guy.

Organisers estimated that the London march had attracted up to 40,000 protesters. Police put the figure at 10,000. In Glasgow the demonstration attracted several hundred protesters.

More from the BBC.

Peace campaigner Bianca Jagger said it was "astonishing" that former prime minister Tony Blair and US President George Bush had not been called to account for the Iraq war, which she called an "unmitigated disaster".

Meanwhile in Glasgow hundreds of protestors also marched through the city, waving placards saying "Troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan" and "Don't attack Iran" and "Freedom for Palestine".

What does this alleged state of Palestine have to do with anything?

As with any of these silly protests, the weirdos were out in force.

The Fall-Out Fairy may not be as alluring, but she is certainly as striking.

Also Known as Peter Lux, the Fall-Out Fairy has slipped into the spangly lace and sequins number to protest against the war and Britain's nuclear weapons programme at Aldermaston near Reading.

The 45-year-old web designer from Suffolk looks distraught through her thick make up as she explains that radiation sickness has made her wings fall off.

She perks up a bit though as she explains why she chose to dress up. "It's kind of fun, it adds colour to the protest."

Behold the Fallout Fairy:



Update: The moonbats on this side of the pond also marched today. These folks also have problems counting.

Police said at least 2,000 people marched down Hollywood Boulevard in the tourist district of the US city, carrying banners denouncing President George W. Bush and calling for an end to the conflict. Organizers put the figure at 10,000.

The protest came ahead of the fifth anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq on March 20. A similar demonstration also took place on Saturday in London, where organizers said tens of thousands of people gathered.

Jennifer Caldwell, spokeswoman for organizers the A.N.S.W.E.R Coalition, told AFP "up to 10,000 persons marched today in Hollywood." Police Sergeant Mike Arminio said there were "more than last year, but never more than 2,000."

Of course there were cries for change.

Amy Carter, a medical student wearing stickers in support of Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama, told AFP: "It's time to change."
