Catch up: Faringdon Peace Group webinar with Lindsay German

Posted: 8th March 2022

Lindsey German is a socialist writer and campaigner. She is convenor of the Stop the War Coalition which she helped establish in 2001 following the events of 9/11. The organisation built the largest demo in British history on February 15th 2003 against the Iraq war. It has thousands of members, groups around the UK, and many trade union and other affiliates. It continues to campaign against British government policies on war, militarism, civil liberties and against Islamophobia.

Lindsey covers very briefly why there is conflict, then goes on to looking at Nato expansion and the nature of Nato, the role of US imperialism (she also thinks Russia has imperialist role but thinks as campaigners in Britain we have to concentrate our main effort on our own government and its allies). She also looks at the British government and the main opposition, which as Keir Starmer has made clear this week is completely committed to a belligerent agenda.
