''Monday 17th Feb 2003 - Peace activists have added another dimension in the "Don't Attack Iraq" campaign by setting up a peace camp at USAF Fairford airbase in Gloucestershire.
Situated in the village of Kempsford, just south of Fairford airbase, the peace camp organiser Jill Chadwick asks other peace campaigners to come and join the camp. "We
welcome everyone who wants to maintain peace and find better ways of resolving problems" she said.

The camp will run for 28 days and seeks to draw attention to the B-2 Stealth Bomber base at Fairford and its key role in the planned war on Iraq. The camp will monitor aircraft
during the build up to war and provide news for other peace campaigners on activity at the base.''

Not like the so caled peace camp at Shannon that ended up as a haven for law breaking vandals.

Calling all law breakers

The more non-violent law breaking vandals the better.
