More peace rallies are planned all over the country

More anti-war are expected to take place this weekend, as turn their attention to Labour MPs who decided not to oppose the war with Iraq. The Stop The War Coalition, which is co-ordinating against the war, said on Tuesday will take to the streets once again.

The group's chairman Andrew Murray said: "There will be all over the country this weekend against the war, particularly Labour MPs who broke their word to constituents never to support a war without UN authority." Peace rallies are being planned in cities and towns all over the UK, including Southampton, Kettering, Bedford and parts of London.

As the US-led attack on Iraq runs into increasing , anti-war movements in both the US and the UK have kept up on US President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Turnout

But the turnout of recent rallies has not been as large as before the war broke out. A peace rally in London last week drew roughly a quarter of the one million protestors who marched in capital in mid-February.

Meanwhile, anti-war protestors using themselves as road blocks have failed to stop a of bombs on their way to reach B-52 bombers at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. The convoy, which reportedly was made up of five articulated lorries each carrying two containers, was by a large police escort.

According to eye witness reports, the peace protestors stopped the convoy by parking a car on the road, before chaining themselves to it. The protestors said they managed to stop the convoy for about five minutes.

No were made.
