***********************************
1) BRING CHILDREN'S SHOES TO THE DEMONSTRATION
Children are the main victims of the Bush and Blair wars. Almost half of
those killed so far in Lebanon are children. They make up one third of
the 3,225 injured, and about 45 per cent of the nearly one million
Lebanese refugees are under the age of 18. (SEE

Bring children's shoes to the national demonstration on Saturday 5
August. We will leave them at 10 Downing Street. We want a mountain of
children's shoes outside Tony Blair's home to symbolise the horror at
his complicity in war crimes.

And where will Tony Blair be on Saturday, when tens of thousands will
march past his home calling for an immediate ceasefire, when the
majority of people in Britain support that call, when many in Blair's
party are calling for a recall of Parliament, when almost all of his
ministers say Israel's onslaught must stop now? He'll be sunning himself
on holiday in Barbados.

Please bring children's shoes on Saturday to leave on Tony Blair's
doorstep. Bring them in memory of the hundreds killed in Lebanon. Bring
them in memory of the hundreds killed in Palestine. Bring them in memory
of the tens of thousands killed in Bush and Blair's illegal wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan.

But bring them most of all in the knowledge that if we raise our voices
loud enough and if we mobilise overwhelming support for the cause of
peace, we can stop Tony Blair's serial warmongering and help prevent any
more deaths of children caused by his slavish support for George Bush.
