It makes me sad when I read comments made by Mr Keith Marchant. Firstly he asks if we believe our demonstrations will make a difference. Yes, I do believe we are of the people and for the people and we have the courage to speak our minds. We do not use public money. On the contrary, Nato and our government use his and our money and therefore reduce money for health and education.

Our government has probably spent in excess £50 million on this operation, and will spend billions as a member of Nato. Whether we were here or not, NATO would have caused all the disturbance we have suffered due to their paranoia. So, please Mr Marchant, I assure you we are on your side. We believe in peace and justice in this world and will continue to for as long as it takes.
