Just to remind people there is a demo against bombing Iraq every saturday opposite Downing Street: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: hugh <justice@easynet.co.uk> Demonstrate in London Saturday 21st February: No Bombing of Iraq! Place: Whitehall, opposite Downing Street. Time: Saturday 21st February 1998 12.00 mid-day to 1.30 p.m. Blair's government is defying international law and morality, as well as the wishes of the people and governments of Britain and the world, in supporting Clinton's war threats in the Gulf. Even the US and British military, media and political establishments are divided as never before on the wisdom of the proposed attack. The Clinton-Blair war move faces increasing opposition in both the US and Britain. This shows the enormous responsibility of the media to act now to inform the public of the growing anti-war sentiment in Britain, and to show those who doubt the wisdom of this war that they are not alone. The media are invited to our demonstration, which will include an impromptu press conference with families from Iraq and other countries of the Middle East. MPs opposed to the war threats have been invited to address the demonstrators.
