TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ NOW! END THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ!

This is where most of the Reservists and Territorials are mustered before they are sent to Iraq and Afghanistan. Nottingham Stop the War Coalition are demonstrating both against more British military personnel being sent to Iraq (and Afghanistan) to oppress and kill more Iraqis (and Afghanis) and against the lives of more British servicepeople being sacrificed in this imperialist adventure.

Anti-war protestors gathered in Nottingham, holding up the names of all 100 dead British soldiers.

Some pictures of Tony Blairs Visit in Nottingham

On his whistle stop visit to Nottingham today, Blair is moving forward in paving the way for new nuclear power station in the UK. He is acutely aware that the UK is in a dire position with it's coal industry dismantled and it's north sea oil and gas reserves in decline having been exported for a quick buck around the world. Now, the choice is to either invest big time in tried and tested renewables such as wind and solar, along with developing tidal and energy conservation technologies... or just bung up another few dozen nuclear power stations and leave the problems to future generations.

Meanwhile, Iran is seeking to establish it's own nuclear power plants and Blair is joining Bush in nashing their teeth and threatening some kind of action to stop them obtaining the technology.

Blair would like us to think it's about stopping Iran getting the technology that could led them to obtain nuclear weapons. Perhaps that is Irans goal, although today the Irans president yesterday stated that they don't need nuclear weapons, he said only countries that see force as an answer to any problem require such weapons, I wonder who he might be talking about...
