A timeline of recent events

December 2011 – the new restrictions on protest come into force under the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act (PRASRA). Maria applies for an injunction to stop Westminster Council removing her peace boxes and other items. This is granted. see http://repeal-socpa.info/

January 2012 – at a high court hearing Maria is granted a judicial review of the legislation in March. see http://repeal-socpa.info/press_release_15Jan12.htm

March 2012 – Maria’s case against the enforcement of PRASRA is heard in the high court with Westminster Council as defendent and the Home Office and the Metropolitan Police as ‘interested parties’. The outcome of the case is of national significance: not only will the restrictions apply to a large area around the centre of decision-making at Parliament, but local authorities have been given powers to adopt similar legislation. see http://repeal-socpa.info/press_release_5Mar12.htm

April 2012 – one of the peace boxes is shipped to the US to be part of an art exhbition in Los Angeles. see http://www.artbelow.org.uk/ab/Artist.action?artistId=730

April 2012 – The judgement is given from the high court. It denies that there is any incompatibility with human rights and that Peacestrike has no right to stay in Parliament Square. see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17867852

3 May 2012 – after a further court hearing the injunction protecting Maria’s protest from the new law is lifted. Maria will apply to the Court of Appeal and, if necessary, to Strasburg to contest the new restrictions on protest. At around 6pm the police turn up and start to remove the Peacestrike protest.

See this article from Peace News about the new law and the recent legal proceedings.

Bring Banners, whistles enthusiasm and energy!

This is the start of the BIG PEACE OFFENSIVE to prevent a war with Iran.

"LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE"

From this date, we will be organising protests to highlight the great concerns held internationally, that a war on Iran will affect everyone. We will not be party to the intended destruction of any nation. We are peaceful people and have a duty to promote peace for everyone, everywhere. Bombing countries is not a solution to anything, it will only escalate retaliation. We will not standby and see a repeat of what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan. Too many people have died and been seriously injured due to lies and deceit.

We call on world leaders to revalue the situation and listen to the people they represent, and…

WORK FOR PEACE!

MURDER IN THE CONGO

BRUTAL PRESIDENT KABILA MUST GO! THE KILLING AND RAPPING MUST STOP!

Support is needed for the Congolese Community worldwide, to cry out against the ongoing genocide of the Congolese people. For too long the International Community has ignored their cries for help and support. The Congolese have had enough. Following a resent election in the congo, finally the people had a real chance for change with their chosen Leader Mr Tsnisekedi Wa Mulumba. Alas, as suspected the Presidential election has been rigged and the winner has been declared in the western backed Kabila and his brutal regime. This means the KILLING, RAPPING, TORTURE AND MUTILATION WILL CONTINUE…….

All this in the name of greed and profit for the few, the same old story of rape and plunder and theft!

8 Million brutally murdered, 2 and a half million raped, tortured, and horrifically mutilated.

An account of a 3 month old baby rapped…….

Support in Whitehhall London SW1A 2AA  needed for the foreseeable future…….

“PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKES FOR PEACE”- “DON’T ATTACK IRAN”

Organise now for "Pre-emptive Strikes for Peace""

USA / ISRAEL / UK

NATO FORCES

# WAR PLAN IRAN #

We MUST forward plan now for an emergency NOW!. If they attack Iran, war will last for decades to come. We will become a militarised world. Reprisals will follow reprisals, not just in other countries but also Homeland UK.
Prepare now, to at some point, go on Pre-emptive “STRIKE FOR PEACE”
We will have nothing to loose.
Our Governments will always ignore the people, because we let them!

This time we will be ready with effective, peaceful action!…..

PRE-EMPTIVE PEACE STRIKE “DON’T ATTACK IRAN”

PRE-EMPTIVE INTERNATIONAL STRIKE “DON’T ATTACK IRAN!”

3 DAY CONTINUOUS STRIKE

Starting midnight 29th, 30th November and 1st and 2nd December ending noon, 3rd December 2011

We cannot afford to think this might not happen!

We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past and leave it until an attack on Iran is imminent or has already been pre-empt. Even if an attack were to be officially declared by  then, marches, rallies, sit-ins and protests would not be effective and would be too little, to late.

# JOIN THE INTERNATIONAL STRIKE #

“TO END WAR – THE PEOPLE MUST GO ON STRIKE”

The governments of the world will always ignore the peoples natural opposition to war simply because they can. The only real power the people have is to refuse to comply. While we keep working, they launch ships, submarines, fighter jets, missiles, rockets, drones, deploy soldiers,…..and ignore our wishes….

We are the ones who fund the war effort, fund the repatriations, fund the funerals, fund the rehabilitations, fund the post traumatic distress disorders, and then, also pay voluntary contributions to the many charities that support our war wounded. All this, and then if we disagree with the justification and morality of the war, we live in fear of being labelled ‘ unpatriotic’ It is a clever control method that always works!

We need to know that we can stop another war if we believe we can!  We need to  build up the confidence within each and everyone of us.  INDIVIDUALLY WE ARE POWERFUL!. Collectively we can achieve our objective in stopping war.

We must act now, while we still can, in order to prevent a future world based on military order and compliance.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A WORKER TO GO ON STRIKE FOR PEACE!

Anyone who does any activity within the system is actually supporting it. Therefore we need 3days of:

NO SHOPPING – BUY NOTHING!

NO LABOUR – Only emergency workers and essential workers carry on, the rest of us shut down.

NO SCHOOL, COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY, NURSERY – To prevent death and injury to others, it is more important to register your concerns  than worry about few days off.

NO TRANSPORT Buses, underground, trains, planes.

NO TV

See FORWARD PLAN in the article below.

“TO END WAR – THE PEOPLE MUST GO ON STRIKE”

# 3 Day INTERNATIONAL STRIKE for PEACE #

30th NOVEMBER 2011…

TO END WAR – THE PEOPLE MUST GO ON STRIKE”

From Midnight Thursday 29th November – 12 Noon Saturday 3rd December 2011

Across the UK people will be striking to highlight the severe financial cuts our Government has imposed on the people of our country, as a direct result of our on-going illegal wars of aggression against the people of Afghanistan.

Education, Health Care, Civil Liberties, Pensions, Employment, Legal Aid, Libraries, Housing,

the list goes on…….

Meanwhile, we are expected to find money to pay the EU bankers for the financial crisis created by their own greed and incompetence.

WE PAY THEIR BILLS !

WILL THEY PAY OURS?……..NO!……THEY SEND THE BAILIFFS!

The on-going war in Afghanistan has cost BILLIONS. Soldiers, civilians, women and children have been killed and seriously wounded. WHAT FOR?

…..Because endless global wars are HUGLY PROFITABLE.

Why then, do we all go along with it? We know it’s wrong, yet we submit like sheep everyday !

Sorry, but by complying, we allow our Government to wage illegal, immoral wars of aggression.
If we really want to address the situation and deliver justice to the people of Afghanistan, if we really want to regain our self respect as a nation and as a people, then we must unite and stand together to DEMAND that our Government stops hostilities and orders the troops home. Some will have to stay for humanitarian reasons.

We don’t need a world full of armies opposing each other. We need to feed the hungry, tend to the sick, and clothe and shelter the poor. That is the duty of humankind, whether we like it or not.

It’s not rocket science!

Reality check– Let’s all unite and go on strike together for all the reasons mentioned, with the aim of actually achieving our objective.

10 years of protesting, marching, campaigning and lobbying has simply not been enough!

We have NOT STOPPED ANY WAR……….THEREFORE….

TO END WAR – THE PEOPLE MUST GO ON STRIKE”

We now need to SHUT DOWN for 3 Days in order for our strike to be effective.

By collectively being on “Peace Strike” together, we – the ordinary people – become the most powerful that we can be. We will send a clear message to our government that we will not support any acts of aggression towards innocent citizens of any country… we will not be deceived into waging wars for ‘Global Corporate’ greed and power.

INTERNATIONAL STRIKE FOR PEACE”

Including pensioners, housewives, students, claimants, the disabled, families, etc., joining together in solidarity for peace.

*Note This does not include emergency workers and carers, whose work and travel we support. Police, Fire Service, Nurses, Doctors, Ambulance Crews, Carers, and Emergency Utility Workers.

*WITHDRAW LABOUR* No Work

*NO SHOPPING* Boycott all shops & supermarkets

*SHUTDOWN* Nurseries, Schools, Colleges, Universities

*DON’T BUY PETROL* Boycott all petrol stations

*NO TRANSPORT* Except emergency & essential workers

*NO TV* Boycott the TV networks – they sensationalise war

Forward Plan:

Prepare for the strike days in advance so that we are organised and have enough food, drink and medical supplies to carry us over a week to facilitate any disruption our action may cause us.

Make sure we have enough provisions for children and the elderly, our families,not forgetting any pets.

Let people in your area know, including older and vulnerable people, so they have time to prepare.

Enjoy your time off to relax and reflect; spend precious time with family and friends. Treat it like you would an extended Christmas break.

* If necessary, we will continue to call follow-up strikes, in order to make our Government comply with the wishes 0f the people -who elected them- and whom they serve.

Under international law it is a criminal offence to assist in a crime against humanity, a crime against peace and a crime of genocide. Therefore to go ‘ON STRIKE FOR PEACE’ to save life can only be a moral duty and not an offence in law.

(Source: Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Article 25)

(c) For the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aid, abet or otherwise assist in its commission or its attempted commission, including providing the means for its commission

We ask all people to be united in peaceful non-violent inaction.

Pass the message on, nationally and internationally.

Peace Strike operates a 24-hour on-going ‘Peace Picket’ at Parliament Square, London, UK.

*TO END WAR – THE PEOPLE MUST GO ON STRIKE*

PEACE STRIKE - 'ON STRIKE FOR PEACE'

PEACE STRIKE is a 24 hour on-going strike picket opposite the Houses of Parliament in the UK.

It makes the declaration that the majority of the people in our country oppose the on-going corporate wars that our Government has been engaged in for the past 10 years…..

The demands of our stand  to our Government is ‘ Listen to the people, and then ACT on our demands to ‘BRING OUR TROOPS HOME !

IF NOT,

At some point……….. we will all need to join the STRIKE !

UK GOVERNMENT: LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE!

END THIS SENSELESS WAR!

HONOUR OUT TROOPS – BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!

The majority of the UK citizens wish the safe return of our soldiers, and an end to the futile never ending war in Afghanistan. Too many soldiers and innocent civilians have been maimed and killed in order to protect the corporate financial interest and assets of the global business empire. The rich have got richer while the poor have got poorer, paying for wars we do not believe in. This has got to stop!

These opinion polls support this view.
