    I believe, though I was young at the time, that the petition to not go to Iraq was the largest of it’s time. I believe that the peaceful protest against going to Iraq was also the largest of it’s time.

    I should probably confirm those beliefs as they’re the foundation of my belief that petitions and peaceful protests are useless against the forces of capital. Capital was going to make big money going to Iraq, New Labour are a party of capital, we went to Iraq.
