Join us outside the constituency office of Business Secretary Vince Cable MP, who is responsible for licensing arms exports. We will be reminding him that it is wrong for our government to promote and subsidise arms sales to repressive regimes and wrong to positively encourage poorer countries to divert scarce resources from health and education to weapons.
Please come and support these vigils.
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.
