Sack Parliament

9th October 2006 - 1pm - Houses of Parliament

Over the past few years the UK parliament and government have led this country into war upon war, torn up age-old rights and made the division between rich and poor to grow ever wider.

MPs and Lords return from their summer recess on October 9th. We need to ensure they can’t get back inside Parliament to stop them spreading their culture of fear.

Emerging as a response to the renewed state terror attacks in the Middle East, STATE OF EMERGENCY was formed. STATE OF EMERGENCY is a call to action, a common banner to organise our resistance to the aggressive military actions carried out in the guise of the "war on terror". The "war on terror" is nothing more than the latest campaign in the continuous war of the powerful states and Capital on the interests of people. It has meant accelerated militarisation of society (pervasive surveillance, biometric ID cards, increased police power, repression of dissent, "anti-terror" raids) with the same government imposing tyranny on Iraq & Afghanistan imposing it here too.

Sack Parliament * Stop their wars

9th October - 1pm - Houses of Parliament

Over the past few years the UK parliament and government have led this country into war upon war, torn up age-old rights and made the division between rich and poor to grow ever wider. Despite only 22% of the electorate voting for them the Labour party has suppressed any opposition to its legislation, whilst opposition parties have continued to offer them a veil of legitimacy by engaging in weak debate rather than denouncing this one-party state.

Despite repeated mass protests parliament has ignored those it is supposed to represent and consistently sided with continuing wars and further authoritarian legislation.

We have only one option left: Sack parliament

We must sack parliament because:

  • It has been complicit in the war of terror and the continued destruction of Iraq and Afghanistan
  • It has failed to condemn and challenge acts of state terror and collective punishment from Lebanon and Palestine to all those illegally interned in Guantanamo Bay and Belmarsh
  • It has helped erode our civil rights: the right to free movement, free assembly and free speech have been undermined with curfews, ‘no protest’ zones, ASBOs and increased police powers

MPs and Lords return from their summer recess on October 9th. We need to ensure they can’t get back inside Parliament to stop them spreading their culture of fear.

Take part! Stop them continuing their wars.
