Financier [George] Soros puts millions into ousting Bush.
George Soros, one of the world's wealthiest financiers and philanthropists, has declared that getting George Bush out of the White House has become the "central focus" of his life, and he has put more than $15m (£9m) of his own money where his mouth is.
Meanwhile Bush's visit to the UK is causing more headaches for Blair, with Michael Howard able to land a few punches on Blair at Prime Minister's Question Time we will have to wait and see how much longer Blair believes he can just ignore what everyone else says just so long as he believes it's right. But the London Mayor is insisting that people who want to protest this visit have the opportunity to do so, whereas on the pretext of security the White House have, in some reports, wanted the centre of London completely cleared. Also it is being insisted that the Government pay the cost of the visit, not local ratepayers through increased taxes.
