There were few political activists in Rugby in 2003, no organised left groups, and we had only just set up the Rugby Stop The War Coalition in the town. Despite this, we mobilised over 50 people to come down to London and join the demonstration. It was one of the proudest moments of my...
Took our International Peace Bureau placards with us to Berne demo...
I travelled down from Manchester in one of the innumerable coaches going down for the London demo. I knew no-one on the coach there were so many first time demonstrators there and when I got to the demonstration I was amazed that instead of taking up half the road we took up the...
I went up to the London march from my Cotswold village, plunk in the middle of David Cameron’s constituency. One friend from the village came too, and I’m sure there were other sympathisers. But not many. The march was wonderful. We were in the front third or so, so couldn’t tell how big it...

My youth was spent as a member of CND and did the Aldermaston march then got married and started a family, never dreamt that in my seventies I would march again, but my anger against the man bLIAR motivated me and I was so proud to once again carry a banner, people don't...
The February 15th March was incredible - the power of people, all united as one. The police and news tried to tell us we were only 100,000, maybe 150,000 tops. But we knew they were lying, as we could feel the extent of our unity, flowing along both north and south embankments, around...
