Two activists have occupied the houses of Parliament with banners calling for an end to the war in Afghanistan, and also a section 6 legal warning banner. They intend to stay for as long as possible.

Skywarrior from the PetroSiege squat, in solidarity with the peace strike campaign, has today occupied the Houses of Parliament with several banners. He intends to make this his home for as long as possible. He hopes that this direct action will inspire others to rise up and challenge the current political system. This is a signal of resistance to unjust, illegal wars being carried out undemocratically, without consent of the people, in America, the UK and other global powers.

Skywarrior today said: “This afternoon at 4:30pm, I took my life in my hands for the future of my children, and the children of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. Not in my name!”

We at PetroSiege resent and reject the current austerity measures, which in fact, are nothing more than a war tax. We echo the words of the honourable Tony Benn, and call for open revolt against the attack on the welfare state to pay for these atrocities, that are being carried out without our consent, in our name.

No Pasaran!
