    ...reporter said it seemed more than the police estimates.

    "Organisers claim more than 150,000 have joined the march in central London, although police put the figure closer to 70,000."

    Meanwhile the police seem to be clairvoyant in regards to foreign terroris....*cough* sorry anarchists causing violence...Geneva/Dublin/Spain anyone?

    "They are particularly concerned that as many as 1,000 European anarchists have targeted the event for their own purpose.

    Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens said they were "absolutely intent on not carrying out peaceful protests and mischief-making". "
