relevant brief excerpt
Veteran anti-war campaigner Tony Benn called for non-violent resistance against the government in the wake of action against Iraq.
"The moment that bombing begins, we go to where we are and we stop for an hour.
"Stop the buses, stop the trains. It's got to be something we take up in every town and village.
"Go home today, talk to your schools, raise it in the churches, the temples, the mosques, the synagogues and at work, because we could well be heading for a Third World War because of stupid men who are in government and are governing in our name."
