Panic attack. posted by Richard Seymour
The anti-war movement is on the move with a march yesterday reported as numbering 100,000 to demand the end of the occupation. Maxine and Rose Gentle attended, as did Reginald Keys, as supporters of UK Veterans and Families for Peace. It also received the support of Paul Bigley.Attendance by delegates to the European Social Forum added an international flavour. The ESF, by the way, looks to have been an outstanding success .
Respect held a very large rally at the event, which apparently went down very well. Must be frustrating for an ex-Stalinist who's gone liberal and pro-war.
