    Stop the War: The Story of Britain’s Biggest Mass Movement by Andrew Murray and Lindsey German, Bookmarks, 2005, 280 pp. Abdullah Muhsin and Gary Kent I am sorry. If you think I am going to sit back and agree with beheadings, kidnappings, torture and brutality, and outright terrorization of ordinary Iraqi and others, then you can forget it. I will not be involved whatsoever, to me it is akin to supporting the same brutality and oppression inflicted on Iraq by Saddam, and the invading and occupying forces of the USA. Mick Rix, former left-wing leader of the train drivers’ union, ASLEF, writing to Andrew Murray to resign from the Stop the War Coalition. Andrew Murray and Lindsey German are, respectively, the Chair and Convenor of the Stop the War Coalition. Their book tells a story about a ‘remarkable mass movement’ which the authors hope ‘can change the face of politics for a generation.’ It tracks the Coalition from its origins with no office, no bank account, just one full time volunteer, through the ‘chaos of its early meetings’ to the million-strong demonstration of February 2003. The book seeks to explain the Coalition’s success in bringing together the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and ‘the Muslim Community’ to create ‘the broadest basis ever seen for a left-led movement.’ The authors attack the ‘imperialist’ doctrines of George Bush and Tony Blair, criticise the arguments of the ‘pro-war left,’ and finish with a chapter opposing the occupation and demanding immediate troop withdrawal. In addition, the book includes a broad

We had a really long agenda at the General Council Meeting this morning. I do apologise for the late start. I will move to the order of business straightaway. Thank you, very much, once again, Congress. Colleagues, I am now going to explain how I will take today's business. Please listen carefully. I intend to take the remaining scheduled business for today first, as published in your Congress Guide, namely, Motion 83, Democratic renewal, to be moved by the FDA with an amendment from PCS standing against; Motion 84, Political representation of members, to be moved by the CWU; Motion 32, People's Charter, to be moved by RMT; Motion 56, Education and the economic crisis, to be moved by NUT; Motion 73, Workers in adult entertainment, to be moved by Equity, and Motion 85, Young members, to be moved by RMT.

  • The Train to Downton Abbey? Presented by Ron Johnson Free Advice and Opinions: [email protected]
    The Train to Downton Abbey? Presented by Ron Johnson Free Advice and opinions: [email protected] The recent popularity of the Downton Abbey TV program has raised interest in old British homes and British history in general. Is it possible to drop in to visit Lord and Lady Grantham and get a spot of tea from cook? Err, not quite. But Britain is thick with hundreds of old preserved homes that follow the Downton model with kitchen downstairs and library, drawing rooms and possibly a ghost or two upstairs. Even better, Britain is also stuffed with thousands of avid railfans who have done incredible work preserving and operating old trains, including many steam locomotives. It is quite possible to tour Britain combining these two interests, as I have with my wife and friends some 30 times. This presentation is designed to whet your appetite for touring Britain and enjoying these combined interests. Getting There If you have never been overseas, Britain is the easiest place to start. Many of the natives speak a form of English, although it is not so clear as the English spoken by the Swedes or Dutch. Airline tickets are readily available, although not necessarily cheap. Your most likely point of arrival is at Heathrow Airport, which is convenient for my recommended tour. Gatwick and some smaller airports also serve London, and Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, etc., also have international flights. Getting Around Most of the restored railroads and grand homes are located in the countryside and a rental car is the easiest way to reach most destinations.
