People were out across the country campaigning against an attack on Iran on
Saturday. Here are a few reports:

mainly from the website - we were filming vox pops, petitioning, talking to
loads of people. People are very, very concerned.

sheets. We filmed loads of interviews with people who were
raging against another war.’
BARNSTAPLE, DEVON: ’We issued leaflets in the High Street with 10 reasons why
we should say no to an attack on Iran... About 400 leaflets were given out and
over 50 people signed the petition. At some points there was a queue to sign
up’
BRISTOL: Fifteen students set up a sound system in the centre of town. Loads of
people signed a big Don’t Attack Iran banner.... We had to go and photocopy
more leaflets.

were queueing to sign up.
