1) AFTER BLAIR: WILL HIS WARS GO ON?
Tony Blair showed this week why from every corner of Britain tens of
thousands of people are planning to be in Manchester on 23 September for the
TIME TO GO demonstration. Our message will be clear: Whoever leads the Labour
party, the Bush/Blair wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have to end.
Tony Blair showed this week why this demonstration is so important. "We
should be proud of what we are doing there," he said of his wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, while also confirming his support for Israel's barbaric attacks
on Lebanon and Gaza.
Blair is "proud" of slaughtering over 100,000 civilians in Iraq and turning
the country into one of the most violent places on Earth. He is "proud" of
the carnage and destruction in Afghanistan, where 20 British soldiers have
been killed this month in what a British army officer, who quit the army in
protest, calls a "pointless war". (SEE http://tinyurl.com/jp4da)
Blair is "proud to be there", despite the latest opinion polls, which show
his support for George Bush's wars has made him the most unpopular British
prime minister since polls began, with a worse rating than Margaret Thatcher
at her lowest ebb (SEE http://tinyurl.com/jwu55).
Everyone who has seethed with anger, as Blair has committed war crimes with
impunity over the past three years, will want to be in Manchester on the eve
of the Labour conference. There are coaches booked in most major towns and
cities. There is a special London to Manchester train. People are flying in
from Northern Ireland and Europe. People are even cycling and walking to the
demonstration. (SEE : http://tinyurl.com/jeqpv)
The signs are this will be the biggest demonstration Manchester has ever
seen. And it needs to be. The Labour Party may be about to ditch Blair as its
leader to save its own skin but none of his potential replacements, least of
all Gordon Brown, has given any indication that, once in power, they plan to
end the Blair wars. That's why this is one of Stop the War's most important
demonstrations since the beginning of the Iraq war.
The TIME TO GO demonstration is organised in conjunction with CND, BMI and
MAB. It is supported by six trade unions -- CWU, PCS, NUJ, TGWU, RMT and
BECTU -- and by the Islam Channel and Friends of Al Aqsa.

*************************************
2) PEACE CAMP GOES AHEAD DESPITE LABOUR BAN
Manchester City Council, wanting to prevent any embarrassment for Tony Blair,
has voted to ban a Military Families Against the War peace camp during the
Labour conference, which will also coincide with the TIME TO GO
demonstration. (See Daily Mail front page: http://tinyurl.com/gomva)
This is an outrageous decision, particularly since in the last two months
over 30 British soldiers have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rose
Gentle, whose 19 year old son Gordon was killed in Iraq, says, "They don't
want us voicing our opinions because Tony Blair will be there. But we're
going ahead with our peace camp anyway." (See BBC report:
http://tinyurl.com/z4wnq)
Rose will be joined by other military families who have lost loved ones or
have relatives serving in the Bush/Blair wars.

*************************************
3) TAKE THE PEACE TRAIN TO MANCHESTER
The national and international media will be travelling on the special
charter train taking protestors from London to Manchester on 23 September.
Al-Jazeera television, watched by tens of millions of people in the Arab
world, is doing a special feature on the whole demonstration and will have a
camera crew and reporters travelling on the train.
There are still some tickets available but they are going fast. Many of the
political and campaigning organisations affiliated to Stop the War will be
represented on the train. A number of trade unions have made block bookings.
They will be joined by some of the most prominent voices in the anti-war
movement, travelling to Manchester to speak on the TIME TO GO rally.
TICKETS ARE £35 RETURN (Sorry, no concessions, as this only just covers the
cost of hiring the train)
THREE WAYS TO BOOK YOUR TICKET:
*Book online at: http://tinyurl.com/onofl
*Send a cheque made out to 'Stop the War Coalition' to Stop the War
Coalition, 27 Britannia Street, London WC1X 9JP
*Phone 020 7278 6694 to make a credit/debit card payment
*************************************
4) A VERY DIFFERENT CONFERENCE
Stop the war is organising an alternative conference on the theme AFTER
BLAIR: TIME FOR CHANGE in Manchester on Sunday 24 September, the day after
the TIME TO GO demonstration. Speakers include Tariq Ali, George Galloway MP,
Guantanamo detainee Moazzam Begg, former UK ambassador Craig Murray and many
other prominent anti-war voices. Unlike the Labour conference, where all
signs of dissent or real debate are stifled, -- as the ejection of Walter
Wolfgang at last years conference showed -- the Stop the War TIME FOR CHANGE
conference will encourage free discussion and includes a range of workshop
sessions. Full details of the conference are here: http://tinyurl.com/hl66p
STAYING IN MANCHESTER FOR THE CONFERENCE?
Stop the War is considering organising a return coach from Manchester for
people from London staying for the weekend of 23/24 September to attend both
the demonstration and the alternative conference. The coach will leave
Manchester at 7pm. Please contact the Stop the War office immediately is you
would like to book a ticket for this coach: email office@stopwar.org.uk or
tel 020 7278 6694.

5) NEW STOP THE WAR PAMPHLET
Stop the War has published a new pamphlet titled STOP THE BUSH/BLAIR WARS,

world. The pamphlet cost £1 and will be on sale at the TIME TO GO
demonstration on 23 September, or you can get your copy now by phoning 020
7278 or by sending a cheque made payable to "Stop the War Coalition" and sent

How does a police search go like? If a cop searches you on the street, does he just check your pockets and shoes etc. Or do they go more in depth? I'm asking because I currently hide my weed in the pocket of my shorts that I wear underneath my jeans to hide it a little better. What are the chances of them searching that far and finding it?12
RAVE NEW WORLD? RAVE NEW WORLD?
TECHNO PRISONERS AS RIOT COPS GATECRASH FREE PARTY
Taken from: SchNEWS
Uninvited guests in the shape of the riot squad crashed a free party in Chesterford, Essex over the bank holiday weekend.
All was going well for the 1,000 or so twinkle-eyed party-goers until the Saturday, when hundreds of cops from five different forces surrounded a sound system and waded into the crowd with truncheons swinging. Some indignant punters defended themselves with sticks and, showing their commitment to preventing climate change, burnt out a cop car. Police claim the revellers acted “disgracefully”, going so far as to “attack police dogs”. Any one who’s been faced with a police dog will doubt the likelihood of anyone being daft enough to attack one, no matter how many drugs they’ve taken (not that the pills are any good any more!).
Contrary to reports in the tabloid rags it was heavy handed police that kicked off all the violence and eyewitnesses report seeing police beating and injuring dangerous threats such as young girls and people chilling on the floor. Out came the CS gas and many revellers’ Saturday night out ended with bruises after a battering, and a few severe bites from police dogs which had been let off their leads into the chaos.
A number of police and ravers were hospitalised and 34 arrests were made, but this was just the most brutal in a series of busts over the weekend. In Gloucester, cops used batons and CS gas to attack and shut down another small party in a business park. Farmland in Cornwall was sealed off as cops heard wild rumours that a vicious and deadly party was to be held there.
All this repression harks back to the (not so rose-tinted) cat-and-mouse days of the early 90s, when tens of thousands of ravers engaged in a weekly battle of wits with the authorities. The Criminal Justice Act was meant to be the final nail in the coffin of the rave culture but as last weekend’s events prove, outdoor partying ain’t going nowhere - despite the pub and clubs getting ever later licences. Free parties with loud music and ever-willing dancers are going on up and down the country every weekend. The mainstream media imagines, because the Old Bill have stepped up the baton practice and got more busts in lately (overtime drive anyone?), that this indicates some kind of ‘resurgence of rave’ – ‘rave’ meaning that tabloid catch-all middle England-threatening brainwashing-cult-stealing-our-kids invention all of its own.
In fact, shortly after the smiley-faced* Acid House craze, (way back in the last century) ‘rave’ mutated and eventually splintered in to many sub-genres, all with their own dress codes, drug choices and attitudes. The truly large scale parties of the early 90s might not have been repeated. However, large numbers of people who like a bit of uncomplicated partying to their preferred choice of repetitive beats have helped build up a regular rota of successful events all over the country, all year round. What has changed is the numbers of people these ‘raves’ now attract – smaller groups of mates with their own sound systems, sometimes teaming up with others here and there to provide their own entertainment outside of the corporate sector. As usual, it’s just taken a while for the media big boys to catch on.
Cue a headrush of editorials and feature pieces, as tired hacks (like us) attempt to reclaim their youth and analyse the current ‘scene’. The London Evening Standard even points the finger at your dear old SchNEWS, as one of the ‘radical orchestrators’ of the new rave movement – just ‘cos we had a listing for the Chesterford bash on our website (Cheers for the pukka plug, though).
Recent events would seem to suggest that the police may now be turning their attention back to the dangerous subversives who see dancing in a field as having a good time, rather than the dangerous, illegal and possibly terrorist activity it really is. And in keeping with their general ‘crackdown’ remit the cops are prepared to use whatever force they fancy to remain the country’s top party poopers (handy training for the riot boys dont’cha’know). It’s handy then, for the media to be full of the frightening rave resurgence stuff, helping build up another straw man which may legitimise an even heavier clampdown by police – well they’ve got to protect the terrified vulnerable public from this evil drug-fueled, rioting menace, haven’t they?

* Sign of the times: appropriating ol’ Smiley for surveillance-Britain’s ‘You are on CCTV’ signs – oh how they must’ve all had a such a laugh at that one.12
