Gordon Brown At Iraq Inquiry This Friday, March 5th

GORDON BROWN AT IRAQ INQUIRY THIS FRIDAY

Gordon Brown has as much blood on his hands as Tony Blair for the illegal war in Iraq. As chancellor of the exchequer from 2003 to 2009, he was paymaster for the war, the cost of which was approximately £6.5bn -- roughly £1bn each year -- which equates to about £100 spent for every man, woman and child in Britain.

On Friday 5 March Brown will be giving evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry and Stop the War will be there to protest against both his culpability for the Iraq disaster and for his escalation of the war in Afghanistan.

Some analysts say the Afghan war has already cost twice as much as spending on Iraq and the bill of £12bn works out at £190 for every man, woman and child, which would pay for 23 new hospitals, 60,000 new teachers or 77,000 new nurses.

Join Stop the War's protest when Brown appears at the Iraq Inquiry on Friday. We want to ensure that he cannot present himself as an innocent bystander when Blair took Britain into a war that slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.

PROTEST AT THE IRAQ INQUIRY FRIDAY 5 MARCH BLOOD ON GORDON BROWN'S HANDS 8.30 AM - 10.30 AM, QUEEN ELIZABETH CONFERENCE CENTRE BROAD SANCTUARY, WESTMINSTER SW1 - (Nearest tubes St James's Park or Westminster).
