In addition to the various actions in protest at Bush's visit to the UK an online sit-in of Tony Blairs website will take place.

Protests in England are set to be huge after the arrival last night of Resident Bush for his State visit,with over 100,000 people expected on the streets in the next few days.

An online protest is also gathering steam. It was originally planned as an addition to the main protests, but has now evolved into a way for people outside the UK to join in.

Just go to http://downingstreet.tripod.com to download the protest tool. It's very easy to use, if you can open a webpage then you can join the protest. :D

A similar protest closed the Downing Street site at the start of the invasion of Iraq. Download the file and spread it to as many people as possible before tomorrow. With a collective effort it can happen again.

but if its doing what I think it is it will have a webpage set up with multiple windows of the downing street site. This windows will be set to refresh periodically with the intention that if enough people have the page open at the same time it will eventually overload the downing street server and crash the site. its mischevous yet harmless.
