Support for demonstration grows

One week to go

Just 7 days to build the Peace and Liberty march

The situation in Iraq goes from bad to worse, with the US bombing of Tal Afar, more than 150 killed in suicide bombs this week and growing opposition to the occupation. Britain and the US claim that troop withdrawal would result in civil war - a claim they have been making for 2 years. In reality the troops’ presence is doing terrible damage to Iraq: killing civilians, destroying whole towns, propping up a government which has little legitimacy, backing a constitution which threatens to break up the country.

Coaches are being booked from around the country and in London there is daily leafleting and postering to mobilise for the march.

On Thursday, the actor Julie Christie and singer Brian Eno joined campaigners to hand a letter in to Downing St supporting the demo and calling the troops to pull out. Over 100 people signed the letter, including Billy Bragg, Tony Woodley, professor Richard Dawkins and Anita Roddick. See report in the Independent.
