Read Out The Names Of Killed UK Troops

LUTON FOR PEACE | 27.01.2010 21:42

As announced in our press release last week we plan to hold weekly one hour long vigils near the
Luton War Memorial, which means we will be there on Saturday 30th January

Dear friends,

.

NAMES OF THE FALLEN UK TROOPS

This coming Saturday we plan to read out the names of the 249 UK troops already killed in Afghanistan since operations began in 2001. Also we will remind people of the 32,000 Afghan people killed during this war.

Our first peace vigil passed off peacefully and attracted some attention from the Luton shoppers and we were joined by people from Green Party, a Luton Councillor
and anti-war activists. We left quietly and picked up any litter we made.

If you're into peace come an join us!

Yours for peace with justice

i agree with this first comment. what the fuck. these soldiers are out there killing people in an invasion and you are reading their names and being respectful?

bring the war home! there is no peace, just a fake peacefulness protected by war.

I Agree with both Comments

I agree that more needs to be done to pressure government to stop this stupid war, but in Luton opposition to the war is seen as a Muslim only activity.

There is no active Stop The War in Luton, we hold vigils to start a dialogue with Luton shoppers who mistakenly believe that soldiers are heroes.

We have caused a stir here the - Police (they pressured me to stop) and the Luton Council don't want to see us on the streets of Luton, but we're there anyway.

You never know but starting something small may lead to bigger things as time goes on.

Better to show some kind of support for Peace and Oppose the war in Afghanistan than stay at home and do nothing.

You're right about the names - but we don't have the names of Afghan civilians killed, which is a pity and our main reason for doing vigils is because we oppose the killing of civilians.

If you want to join us yoiu are welcome the more the merrier!

Peace with justice

I'm not a pacifist, but good on you anyway

I'm not a pacifist, and I know that UK soldiers are killing innocent people, but it's good to see someone doing something anyway, so good luck to you. Sounds like a good PR move, and it's not stopping your detractors from doing their own thing differently.

And lol at the fact you take your litter home with you! Although hopefully you don't drop any in the first place...
