Kara,
Blair may have triumphed in the House of Commons yesterday, but he's loosing the battle for hearts and minds on the streets. (With children anyway)
from the BBC
Around the country, children were abandoning lessons to campaign against military action, with 20 pupils facing suspension from Cape Cornwall School in St Just, Cornwall, for walking to Penzance on Tuesday.
Ella Jones, Oliver Savidge and Charles Sime, all aged 14, said they had asked for their parents' permission to join around 100 pupils from Pimlico School.
"It is just Tony Blair and George Bush against the rest of the world. None of the public want this, Mr Blair is acting against our will.
"We are a peaceful movement. We are not here to cause a riot, but we don't think children are listened to."
Oliver said: "We got our parents permission to be here, but some people have walked out.
"We think it is right we have our say. Kids have rights as much as adults."
Police in Leicester have suggested they will set up extra patrols outside schools to stop pupils playing truant.
I'm sure I can't be the only one who finds this very funny.
