Question
I heard that there are more anti-blair protests rumoured to take place just wondered if you had any information on the subject.  I am a second year student at the University of Central England and the information will be used in a blog I am creating for an online journalism module.

Thankyou  

Answer
Hi Sarah

If you're talking about large-scale demos, I think it's unlikely.  The only thing that brought people out in large numbers was Iraq and it's difficult to imagine protests of a similar size again.

As someone who's stood as a Labour candidate in the past couple of elections, I'm probably not the first person to be told about anti-Blair activity!  You might do better to track down some of the pressure groups and parties that are in direct opposition to him.

Good luck with the blog.
