| On Thursday October 9th, a public meeting was held in the Central Library Newcastle, with a good attendance, to oppose the bombing of Iraq and the extension of the war into Syria. The meeting was addressed by the Rev Andii Bowsher, co-Chair of Martin Luther King Peace Committee and chaplain at Northumbria University and Andrew Murray, Vice President Stop the War Coalition. The meeting was chaired by Tony Dowling of Newcastle Stop the War. After the speeches there followed a question and answer session. Prominent in that discussion was the question of rebuilding the anti-war movement and taking the anti-war stand into the General election next year to encourage people to vote for candidates that would end Britain's bombing of Iraq and military interventions in the Middle East and elsewhere. flyer .
