CANCELLED: 5 Aug: Israel out of Lebanon Demo - Sheffield

Leftist Veteran | 30.07.2006 14:37 | Lebanon War 2006 | Anti-militarism | Sheffield

The leaflet for the Sheffield Stop the War Coalition demo that has been called for Saturday 5th August, 12 noon, at the Town Hall steps is attached.

The flyer for this demo was posted to the Sheffield Stop the War Coalition announcements list:

The Sheffield Stop the War Coalition has been, essentially, a SWP front for several years - they drove out almost all the other activists that were originally involved by their sectarianism and their bid for total control of the group.

They have organised seperate seating for women at their rally with Tony Benn on 19th September - see the flyer on their web site:

(Did nobody ever tell them that wiki sites can have more than one page... oh well...)

The Sheffield Anti-War Coalition discussion list, which the SWP generally (there is one exception to this rule...) boycott and don't link to from the Sheffield Stop the War Coalition web site is still in existence but there has been little discussion on it for a long time:

With more war looming and the real danger that the USA might do something really crazy, like dropping nukes on Iran, isn't it about time that a non-hierarchical, direct action, anti-war group was established in Sheffield? Anyone have any suggestions about what, how, when to try to get something together etc?
