Ian will examine the effectiveness (or otherwise) of protest marches. As he says in the introduction to his book: "In writing The March That Shook Blair my intention is to address and refute these two popular arguments: - that the march was an unimportant and inconsequential historical event and that it achieved "absolutely nothing". My aim is to document, celebrate, investigate and critically analyse the largest political march in British history and the wider anti-war movement." The talk is at 1pm and will last about 30 minutes followed by questions.
