Recent events in Basra have highlighted the need to bring to an end the occupation of Iraq. Today we hear that the Mayor/Governor of Basra has said that he will no longer cooperate with UK forces. British troops must be withdrawn immediately. It is time for loss of face to replace loss of life. Iraq has been laid waste amidst an obscenity of violence.

“The Lib Dems have this week called for our withdrawal. Anglican bishops have added their voice to this demand and the Stop the War Coalition have received support for this demonstration from musicians, artists, academics, theatre and film personalities, business, religious and trade union leaders. Enough is enough. It is now time, once again, for the British people to step forward into the streets and insist that this time we will not be ignored. “ Lindsey German, Convenor, Stop the War Coalition

“I do not want to be associated with a bunch of medieval rednecks with big guns and small minds. “ Brian Eno
