Britain is on the brink of war with Iraq. Tony Blair and George W Bush say this is the only way to stop terrorism and attacks on the UK and US. It now appears that Blair and Bush are in the minority. Such is the strength of opposition, the Scottish Coalition of Justice Not War has moved its demonstration meeting point from George Square to Glasgow Green to accommodate the 20,000 expected. The protesters are coming from far and wide, transport having been organised from Arran and the Isle of Bute. These are not your usual political protesters: this time they include church and elderly groups, students and trades unions - a cross section of the population of Scotland.
After meeting at the green and marching to the SECC, where Tony Blair will be attending the Labour Party Conference, there will be a rally with a prestigious group of Speakers urging Blair to rethink his plans. Tony Benn, fresh from his talks with Saddam Hussein, will speak as will Tommy Sheridan MSP, Lord Provost Alex Mosson, Arthur Scargill, the Green Party and Globalise Resistance. Religious organisations are also involved with speeches from representatives of the Muslim Association of Britain, the Church of Scotland
and the Roman Catholic Church.
According to John Ainslie. co-ordinator of Scottish CND, this is a chance for people to voice their views. ‘It reflects the real concern people have about the way the country is moving towards an unjustified war,‘ he says. 'We’ve basically tagged along on the coat tails of the Bush administration in America.’
