PEACE activists held an Alternative Remembrance Sunday ceremony yesterday afternoon in Tavistock Square, a short walk from the official central London ceremony.
A wreath of white poppies was laid on the conscientious objectors’ memorial stone to remember all the people harmed or killed in war, including conscientious objectors and other civilians, as well as members of the armed forces.
A total of 100 people attended the Peace Pledge Union (PPU) event, including former members of the British armed forces.
WILL DRY speaks to three former members of the armed forces about the political hypocrisy surrounding Armistice Day, how war is a function of class society, and the far right’s use of militarism and nationalism to divide working people
LYNNE WALSH reports from last weekend’s moving remembrance of the International Brigades in London’s Jubilee Gardens where anti-fascists gathered to hear how even in the darkest of times we can build a vision of a better tomorrow, as the Brigaders fought to do 89 years ago
