London 24th February 2007 Demonstration

On 24th February 2007 60,000 people marched through the streets of London in protest at the UK Governments policies on Iraq, Iran and nuclear weapons.

The country wants Troops out of Iraq, no attack on Iran and no new nuclear weapons in the UK. We want our taxes spent on education and health care not supporting in the US in empire building and using the UK as a nuclear missile silo.

We do not want a replacement for Trident nuclear weapons which the UK hasn't even got control over.

We do not want to support George Bush's plan to invade Iran.

All audio and video was recorded during the demonstration in London. 'War' was performed live by Ugly Rumours. Speeches by Mark Thomas and George Galloway. The protest was organised by the Stop The War Coalition, CND and the BMI.

They are sick all the people that died my family people kill in the us and uk my cousin died in my arms trying to save me from the 911 attack I was only two year old and my cousin died in my hands my uncle jumped out the building

But what did invading Iraq have to do with 911? Nothing. Invading Iraq actually caused the 7/7 bombings in the UK that killed a load of people. All thanks to Colin Powell, Bush and that other liar Blair. I'm sorry for the affect 911 had on your family but that was never a reason to slaughter anyone else.

You british fill your mouth whining about Iraq, while you still occupy the argentinean Malvinas islands (but you name it Fuck...sorry, "Falklands" islands...right?)you british righties are really hypocrite... u_u

[NeoCon Hitman]

but occupying the Falkland Islands didn't result in the death of over half a million people.

We occupy the Falklands because it (somehow) gives us a claim on Antartica ... and all the natural resources which the west intends to plunder once they have melted the ice.

[missarabia]

thats very true. its quite a worrying thing.

[Pedram Delalat]

okay nice of pple demonstrating but i cannot belive, how many have died on. Iran-iraq war, usa-iraq war, usa/iran-afghanistan war, usa-vietnam war, palestine-israel war, and all have occured in the recent 50-60 years - thats nearly 1 war every 10 years. isnt it astonishing?

[ajjhelum]

HAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOO! what is it good for,da dada deee dooo

[ReTsU19]

Doesn't matter whatever reasons you may put: occupying another country's land is called "imperialism". Much more if it is to ransack their natural resources. Before Iraq, you pull out of Malvinas!

And, mind you, Iraq's war ended looong ago. Around 2 or 3 years. The butchery you can appreciate since then, and the one that produces 150 deaths per day more or less, was an inner conflict between Chiis and Sunis. That sounds more as a Civil War rather than an international war, doesn't it?

1st.

An unjust war has got nothing to do with 'left' or 'right'. In your eyes it was left-wing-liberal-hippies who complained about the gassing of the Jews. It is the only argument you can construct to justify your own hypocrisy.

If the US and UK are liberating Afghans from the Taliban why didn't they do it instead of selling the Taliban weapons during the 1980s?

The answer is that they don't give a stuff about Afghans. Neither do you. You pick and choose when to support the Taliban.

[NeoCon Hitman]

Saddam was not a fascist.

Also if you have got a problem with dictators why is it that the US Government is so quick to support them?

The military dictatorship in Pakistan for example. It has been receiving billions of dollars in military aid ... despite locking up anyone who speaks out against their dictator.
