Bristol-Stop-The-War | 10.12.2002 04:16
A little late in the day, but the Fairford Demo now has the full backing of the National Coalition. NVDA (non-violent direct action) is welcome & recognised at this Demo as a legitimate method of Demonstration. We only ask that individuals take full responsibility for their own actions, & arrange their own legal defence if required.
