- It has been some time since the Parliament Square Peace Campaign last sent out a message to Brian’s supporters. Brian is still in Parliament Square, the Campaign is still here, but we very stretched in our resources.
Eight years ago yesterday on 2 June 2001, Brian came to Parliament Square to protest against the injustice and suffering caused to the people of Iraq by the UN economic sanctions and the bombing of the country by the US and UK.
Eight years later, after invasion and occupation, Iraqis have lived through another terrible period and western troops have pulled out to continue their war in Afghanistan with the US and NATO bombing claiming many civilian casualties.
Despite hassle from the police and others, Brian and supporters remain lawfully opposite Parliament reminding those in power of the costs of their wars. Do come down to show support if you can……
