Sack Parliament * Stop their wars
9th October - 1pm - Houses of Parliament
print ready flier - application/pdf 720K






Over the past few years the UK parliament and government have led this country into war upon war, torn up age-old rights and made the division between rich and poor to grow ever wider. Despite only 22% of the electorate voting for them the Labour party has suppressed any opposition to its legislation, whilst opposition parties have continued to offer them a veil of legitimacy by engaging in weak debate rather than denouncing this one-party state.

Despite repeated mass protests parliament has ignored those it is supposed to represent and consistently sided with continuing wars and further authoritarian legislation.

We have only one option left: Sack parliament
We must sack parliament because:
* It has been complicit in the war of terror and the continued destruction of Iraq and Afghanistan
* It has failed to condemn and challenge acts of state terror and collective punishment from Lebanon and Palestine to all those illegally interned in Guantanamo Bay and Belmarsh
* It has helped erode our civil rights: the right to free movement, free assembly and free speech have been undermined with curfews, ‘no protest’ zones, ASBOs and increased police power

MPs and Lords return from their summer recess on October 9th. We need to ensure they can’t get back inside Parliament to stop them spreading their culture of fear.

Take part! Stop them continuing their wars.

Please visit the website -  http://www.sackparliament.org.uk - for updates, and details of past actions.

This action came out of the emergency assembly called to discuss a direct action response to the Lebanon/ Israel war, Iraq, Afghanistan and the continuing insecurity around the globe. In the past three weeks the assembly has facilitated six actions, including the blockade of Brize Norton and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

We meet every Tuesday at 7pm at LARC -  http://www.londonarc.org/ - on 52 Fieldgate Street.

this looks amazing

There seems to be a bunch of negativity abounding at the moment, so I'm pre-empting it, and saying this looks awesome. Lets make it clear to the politicians that we're their bosses, and they're in a shedload of trouble!!

I would never have thought I would be on a site like this or that I would take part in a protest but the time has come even for middle aged middle England to act
Myself and quite a few of my friends who like me have never taken part in anything like this have decided we will come to London on the 9thOct to show our disgust at Tony Blair and his government

We are also mostly middle aged and not from middle England but from middle Dorset and we would have never dreamt we would be joining a street protest but we will be there to take part.
Tony Blair misled us all and he has got away with it for too long

We need YOU!

This is going to be fantastic. It doesn't matter if you have never been to anything like this in your life, come on down. It doesn't matter if you are coming on your own, come on down. It doesn't matter if you are scared shitless, come on down, you will be alright. Without you, there will be no demonstration. You ARE needed, you WILL make a difference. Without you, we will fail.
