====================
News in brief:
The anti-war movement is growing stronger than ever in Britain. Everyone is ready to demonstrate at the 15th... even the mainstream newspapers like "Guardian" advertises the protests. The ban of the London march had no impact on the protestors, as no one is afraid to go on with the demonstration. The ridiculous excuse that they invented for banning the march was:
"The fact is no rallies of any size are allowed in the royal parks this time of year, as anybody with a garden knows, the grass is completely waterlogged and if you 100,000 people milling about it will become a swamp.”
…so the royal gardens will be in danger! yeah whatever… and goes on:
“It is not just about the cost of repair, but also the health and safety of the people who are there, especially as the rally is likely to finish after dark."
Furthermore the British government deployed special police and army units and even tanks in and around Heathrow airport!!! The excuse was “a fear of terrorist attack”, a usual excuse nowadays so as to cancel human rights and liberties and go ahead with a police state. That’s their parliamentary democracy… So what’s coming next?!?!

In Glasgow the march will head towards the Labour Party spring conference where Tony Blair is due to speak.

for other good links - they will also run a newswire for Feb 15th protests around the world.
February 15: An Anarchist Call for Global Action against Capitalism and War
The ongoing war between the United States, the United Kingdom and Iraq is only one component of a global struggle between the rich and powerful and the billions who are oppressed for their benefit. Blair and Bush, like bin Laden and Hussein, use the politics of international war as a diversion from their wars against the poor, the excluded, and the Earth.
From the West Bank to the West Side, and from the rainforests of Colombia to the farmlands of Great Britain, the ruling class maneuvers to extract the maximum profits from the Earth and its people. International war is one more tactic in this class war, for the acquisition of natural resources, the elimination of surplus populations, and the consolidation of patriotic unity between the oppressors and the oppressed.
On February 15, 2003, millions around the globe will march in opposition to the escalation of this war. We call on all who seek a world free of the oppression of authoritarianism, capitalism, ethnic hatred and religious fundamentalism to participate in this unprecedented mobilization, through convergences in Amsterdam, Antwerp, Aotearoa, Athens, Bangkok, Barcelona, Belfast, Berlin, Berne, Brussels, Budapest, Cairo, Cape Town, Copenhagen, Dublin, Edmonton, Glasgow, Helsinki, Istanbul, Jakarta, Johannesburg, London, Lisbon, Madrid, Manila, Montreal, New York, Oslo, Paris, Prague, Ramallah, Rome, San Francisco, San Juan, Sao Paulo, Skopje, Stockholm, Sydney, Tallinn, Tokyo, Toronto, Vienna, Warsaw, and anywhere else, and to escalate this component of the struggle against the ruling class through direct action, including strikes, sabotage, sickouts, occupations, civil disobedience, and the mass reclamation of public space. Let's make our resistance to war visible in as many ways as possible!
From London and New York to Cairo and Ramallah, our resistance will be as global as their oppression. On February 15, to the streets! And to the barricades!
No war between states! No peace between classes!
