Sack Parliament: Tues 5th Sept (and every Tuesday), 7pm. Organising meeting for 9th Oct event. "Over the past few years the UK parliament and government have led this country into war upon war, torn up age-old rights and made the division between rich and poor to grow ever wider. Despite only 22% of the electorate voting for them the Labour party has suppressed any opposition to its legislation, whilst opposition parties have continued to offer them a veil of legitimacy by engaging in weak debate rather than denouncing this one-party state. Despite repeated mass protests, parliament has ignored those it is supposed to represent and consistently sided with continuing wars and further authoritarian legislation. We have only one option left - Sack parliament!" . For the latest info see: www.sackparliament.org.uk
