The rally included speakers from the Keele Stop The War group, the local branch of the Socialist Party, and local anti-war activists from the Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme areas, including representives from the Human Shields project. There will be a die-in outside the Civic Centre in Glebe Street, Stoke-on-Trent at 8am tomorrow.

The website specifies student activists from Keele....don't forget there were also students from Staffordshire University!!!I was one of them,one of a number of students and staff from Staffs Uni who turned out.Keele and Staffs are traditionally in competition with each other and are rivals,but for this we must be,and be seen to be,working together fo9r a bigger cause!!Keep at it everyone-it's easy to feel downhearted watching the news,but we must keep optimistic that democracy is right and our voices will be heard.

I only knew about the Keele presence

I solely acknowleged the prescence of Keele Uni students at the demo cause I was only aware of the presence of Keele students (being one of the Keele students there myself). I have no intention of playing down the presence of Staffs students though, and to all students who turned up that night, both from Keele and Staffs, a big well done to you all!!!
