The UAF’s Parliamentary Allies

The extremist group Unite Against Fascism (UAF) claims 58 Members of Parliament (or former Members) as ‘key signatories’ to its hate mongering activities. This analysis therefore examines the conduct of those particular MPs, in terms of their support for two vitally important contemporary issues – namely:

• (a) for an inquiry into how, in 2003, a lying Government took us into an illegal war; and
• (b) the vital need for a transparent (open and accountable) Parliament.

2 In 2003 the Labour Government unlawfully took us to war against a sovereign country a – a country that was neither a threat to the people of the UK, nor to our national interest. Up to the beginning of 2009 there have been 178 British servicemen and servicewomen killed in the Iraq War, and (it is reliably estimated) more than 9,000 casualties.
