Mayor of London to Bush: Stay Away From U.K. or Face Possible Arrest

And the mayor of London has sent a message to former President George W. Bush

to stay away from Britain and other European countries during his book tour because he could face arrest as a war criminal for authorizing the use of torture. Mayor Boris Johnson wrote about the possible arrest of Bush in the Daily Telegraph. He wrote, "Of course, we are told this scenario is unlikely. Dubya is the former leader of a friendly power, with whom this country is determined to have good relations. But that is what torture-authorising Augusto Pinochet thought. And unlike Pinochet, Mr. Bush is making no bones about what he has done." The former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was arrested in London in 1998.

I'd be quite happy to see the crook here trying to sign copies of "his" book for a while, the protests would be on a colossal scale. Massive protests about the Bush administration are invariably worthwhile.

Some Canadians have tried that.

the organization mentioned, Lawyers Against the War, were formed quite a while ago. Their site is down, though a cached version exists. Not sure if it's temporary downage or if they have given up the cause.
