Not quite the same as the one proposed
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/02/285691.html
Also there is a list of resolutions passed
http://www.stopwar.org.uk/article.asp?id=280204
It is disappointing that no resolutions seem to have been passed supporting actions at the bases.On the 19th March is a blockade of Menwith Hill in Yorkshire and it is not even mentioned on the STW site.Is this because the organisers have not submitted it.
There is lots of info about Menwith Hill spy base.

Yorkshire CND site is better than the National CND site with loads of links.
Congratulations to them.
This should be a top priority for those who are able to get.

If you can get to Menwith Hill then do.If you can get to London on 20 March then do that.
It is a pity that noone brought it up at the STW conference.I am not a member like most of the million who turned out last february and who will be turning out on March 20.
No need to be arrogant or swear.
