The story is simple: as has been the case frequently in the past, the anti-war movement will be holding a peaceful march on Monday 8th October to protest against Britain's continuing presence in Iraq. These marches and demonstrations are invariably peaceful with a low number of arrests (if anyone is arrested at all), and are an essential part of the democratic process given that the supine media have now forced the war off the front pages and replaced it with endless stories about Diana and Madeleine.
The March that is proposed for Monday, however, will be different, because the British Government has banned it. 'The Government has decided to ban a peaceful march called by the Stop the War Coalition on 8 October. The protest has been called to demand all the troops withdrawn from Iraq immediately. The police have said all protests within one mile of Parliament are now prohibited. This is an affront to democratic rights and contradicts the Prime Minister's commitment to liberalising protest laws. We urge the authorities to review this decision.' The Govt is using a law dating back to 1839 to protect our poor, intimidated MPs. (326 words in story) Full Story |
