On Dec 10th there will be an international peace conference in London. The following is from the STWC website.
International Peace Conference
Saturday, 10 December 2005
Royal Horticultural Hall, Central London
With delegates from Iraq, USA & UK
The grave threat to international peace posed by the invasion and continued occupation of Iraq is now clear for all to see. The people of Iraq and the citizens of Britain and America have time and again insisted that they are opposed to war and occupation. We believe it is now time for representatives of those people to meet together face to face, to renew our bonds of solidarity and to express our joint opposition to war.
To that end a broad and representative conference attended by a delegation of Iraqis drawn from all those sections of society rejecting the US and British occupation will meet in London on 10th December 2005.
We call on all peace campaigners, trade unionists, the congregations of all faiths, non-governmental organisations, progressive campaigns, community organisations and political parties to send delegates to this conference.
We the undersigned call on the real representatives of the people of Britain, the United States and Iraq to join us in London and to issue a call for peace that will echo around the world.

Let me see, you, who laughingly call yourselves the Stop the war coalition, you, of course get to choose all of the speakers and presumably the agenda and chair.
Then, you have the temerity to do a post calling on all peace campaigners, ngo's etc, etc, etc. to send (probably fee/entrance paying?) delegates to attend, so that they can be told from the platform, what you want them to hear??
Is that somewhere near how all of this is StWP stuff works?
Notwithstanding some of the genuinely good work that the Stop the War Coalition sometimes do, do, with Respect, if you want RESPECT, you have, sometimes, to earn it.
Second class participant
I represent everyone in the world and I denounce you!

Who the hell are these people, I've never met any of them on a MayDay protest?
And like dur, how egotistical can they be to issue this call when the real representatives of All the People of the World are me and my mate Jaz cause we're proper anarchists?
Anyway why peace with Iraq when they're all Islamismmists and not proper anarchists at all?
