The day of action is set to be massive in London: just in the universities, SOAS, UCL, Kings, Middlesex and the Wimbledon School of Art (quite famous, apparently) are seriously discussing occupations and teach-ins, to say nothing of the rest of the country.

Parliament Square mass gathering on 31st

14.10.2002 17:48

There is a planned mass gathering in Parliament Square on Thursday the 31st at 6pm on the day of action. This will be after dozens of local actions across London during the day.

So far there is a planned mass cycle ride through central London starting at the Imperial War Museum at 1pm and an anti-war march and rally in Brixton at 1pm as well.

By the way the peace camp at the Imperial War Museum is still going aswell so get down there to help out if you can.

Rest assured the people of Iraq can now sleep soundly in their beds knowing the war will not go ahead as a few newly recruited students will be having a sit in/piss up in the student union.

Forget the calls for direct action against all warmongering states. Oh no all you need to do is listen to Ariq Tali wittering on in between the paper sales.

^^^^^^

Have you heard the one about…

"Ariq Tali", very funny. Do you do other 'darky' jokes as well?

I'm not a student (but my kids are), anyone doing stuff against the war is good by me.

I think the point is DOING stuff not asking the government to do something (you may have to wait). Hell how many airforce bases do there have to be in Britain?

Direct action against all wars

Twiddling with politicians names has a long history. It wasn't meant as a racist joke.

Now let's think about direct action instead of trying to deflect. There are airfields, army compounds, navy bases, armament producers and procurers, power stations, distribution networks, politicians, and the list goes on....

Be creative, be inventive and if you really want to stop war then think about how you can sabotage the war effort rather than marching from A to B. Every direct action be it big or small can make the difference. Even a banner drop over a bridge on a busy road can have a tangible effect, people passing will see it with their own eyes, it can't be censored by the media.

Only direct action will stop war.

The critical mass is starting at 2pm at the Imperial War Museum, not 1pm as Harlequin said. Though if you show up early I'm sure the peace campers will make you very welcome.
