Vigil for peace held in Manchester

Tonight (20 sept) a vigill for peace was held in Manchester.

A group of more than 50 people gathered for a silent vigil on the steps of the Friends Meeting House for a silent vigil between 17.00 and 18.00. A couple of hundred leaflets were given out to a generally receptive public. Even a TV camera turned up (possibly Granada Tonight). Banners included 'peace is the way' and 'war means infinate injustice'.

It seems that most people eitheer don't want war or ambivalent. I didn't hear one criticism of the vigil from the public. We really can make a difference.

There were several polls in yesterday's papers showing what people wanted - why didn't you quote from them? Is it because they contradicted your views and the few people that you bothered to speak to?

Public opinion

There is no such thing as public opinion. Any person`s opinion is formed through discussion and action with other people and it is far more real and honest than the bloody statistics.
