Actually, considerable aid was given to the USSR by the USA and the UK during WW2. Again may I remind you of your arrogance towards the new democracies of Europe, people who suffered under Soviet influence and are now free.
Having read a lot of your posts, I see that arrogance is something you are rather good at, you also use
"supposition, innuendo, hearsay, gossip and not a *a shred of proof! So you tell me to shut up that's not very democratic is it! Rent a mob, proof of funding, as yet cannot provide proof, that's the nature of the limitations of what we know about the protesters, one assumes they have nothing else to do and they never say anything about themselves. Certainly, when K. Livingstone was GLC leader he did dish out money to all sorts of fringe groups. You don't like anyone opposing your views and you always respond with intolerance along with blah, blah, blah.
I have said elsewhere, this is a free society people who feel so concerned have a right to demonstrate, as long as they are responsible and keep within the law. I think about 25 people did so in central London today. I also think they should donate some money to the Metropolitan Police to meet with the extra expense.
In the end you and your friends do no favours to the Iraqi people who are now free of Saddam Hussein's terror regime.
Do have a nice day.
