Stop The War Protest at Warwick

Last Sunday, 70 Stop The War protesters attended the Labour Party hustings for Gordon Brown and the six dwarves, I mean, six deputy leadership candidates.

I hear that there were lots of "Gordon Brown's been sent to Coventry" chants.

40 of the hustings delegates signed their petition calling for Brown to set an early date for troop withdrawal.

As the national news picked up, one protester managed to get past the security and into the hall, where she was able to interrupt Brown's speech with a call for troops out.

To give you an idea of the critical roasting that Brown received from Labour attendees, party members gave him a standing ovation at the start and finish of his one-hour Q&A session.

Not enough, they should throw rose petals at his feet!
