The Stop The War Coalition held a Zoom meeting from 6.30pm London time, June 20 on the ongoing madness in Ukraine.

Whatever one thinks about Vladimir Putin or Ukrainian leader Zelensky, most rational people would agree this madness has to stop, but American so-called progressive leaders appear to have either drunk the Kool-Aid or taken backhanders from the sort of people who bankrolled Hunter Biden, because to a man and woman they are supporting this American […]

Say what you like about the British left but they have been passionately opposed to “Imperialist” wars since the reaction to the 9/11 attacks. The Stop The War Coalition was founded in response to the war on terror. In fact, the anti-war movement goes back a long way before that; they were opposed to the […]
The Stop The War Coalition was founded in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. If you are old enough to remember that terrible day first hand, you will probably remember also the commitments that were made on both sides of the Atlantic when the world had recovered from the shock.

In July, the Stop The War Coalition held a Zoom meeting in which its invited speakers blamed war on “Imperialism”. Topically but not surprisingly the British role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade had more than a little to do with it, and listeners were treated to a clown from the African Diaspora explaining how if it hadn’t been for the slave trade, Africa would be leading the world in technology, art, and everything else.
Quigley might have added the British stamped out thugee and suttee in India the same way they stamped out not only slavery but ritual murder in Africa, the latter being a practice that was still being carried out in the second half of the Twentieth Century.
To this we might add that India has also retained English as an official language, the country has a wonderful English language press, and many educated Indians speak it better than many of us natives.
On July 15, the Stop-The-War Coalition held a live hangout with three speakers: Emy Onoura, Salma Yaqoob, and Chris Nineham. The theme of the hangout was British Imperialism from the international slave trade to the special relationship, and as might be expected, not one of the speakers had a good word to say about Imperialism, even American opposition to the 1956 Suez fiasco was interpreted by Nineham as an attempt to boost the US at the expense of the UK. The first speaker though was Onoura.
