Speaking on the Iraq war

With Tony Benn at protest against Iraq warDid the first session of the Stop the War Coalition’s Peoples’ Assembly marking four years since the day we visited the illegal war on Iraq.

Many speakers in first session and chaired by Tony Benn. We are all on the same side here today.

My speech was really about how we need to build, or rather help Iraqis rebuild, the infrastructure of Iraq. And of course, to mention, that Tony Blair’s war to save Iraq from Saddam has precipitated a humanitarian disaster.
