Up to 20 million Britons are expected to protest against world poverty as part of the biggest mobilisation against global inequality ever seen.
In addition, 250,000 campaigners are planning to attend a rally in Edinburgh to coincide with July's G8 summit at Gleneagles where key talks among world leaders could witness Tony Blair securing a historic deal to help Africa's poor.
Oxfam yesterday ordered five million more white Make Poverty History wristbands. The charity has already sold three million.
Adrian Lovett, a campaign spokesman, said: 'At this rate we would expect between 10 million and 20 million will join the campaign.'
