If you are planning to be at the march you may want to know that the two routes will be passing the doorsteps of some of the major corporate beneficiaries in this likely war on Iraq.

WARMONGERS OF LONDON WALK
ANTI-WAR MARCH, FEBRUARY 15 2003, CENTRAL LONDON

Arms and oil corporations are well placed to make fat profits from the impending war with Iraq. Arms companies make their living from selling arms across the world, regardless of the use to which they are put, and stand to make millions from the massive military offensive now threatening the Iraqi people. Global oil corporations meanwhile, are on stand by, hoping to capitalise on the huge oil spoils to be had from regime change in Iraq. Arms companies, oil corporations and the Bush and Blair governments form a truly unholy alliance in this threatened aggression, aiding and abetting each other in their hunger to extract profits from war.

On Saturday 15 February up to a million people will gather in central London to demonstrate against the bloodthirsty cabal in whose name this war is being fought, and to insist that there can be no blood for arms and oil.
