Disobedience Network was set-up by a group of people
involved in various anarchists and grassroots direct
action groups from Reclaim the Streets, WOMBLES,
West London Anarchists and Radicals and AYN.

The idea was to apply creativity, confrontation and horizontal methods of organising gained from experience from J18, N30 and Mayday actions to the top-down, SWP/CND dominated anti-war movement. We have so far participated in the first [and probably last] STW coalition day of action on October 31st with a call to occupy the Houses of Parliament, an adventurist, stuntist and spectacular call of action.

So what next? The Stop the War Coalition thinks direct
action is about handing petitions in to Downing Street or organising ineffective demonstrations, the next being
planned for February 15th, 2003. What about in the meantime, there are many possibilities.

Making sure that the 'war on terrorism' becomes a part of our everyday lives, the new BAe systems advertising campaign, who also sponsored the British legion's red poppy campaign, are promoting themselves as the new 'acceptable' face of capitalism. BAe, the UK's No.1 arm manufacturer with profits of £13.1Billion, are spending millions of pounds in advertising for the UK civil market whilst making billions supplying weaponry to the UK and others.

One way of bringing the war home would be to target the industries which profit from these wars be they
arms manufacturers and there subsideries [many companies involved in car manufacture], oil companies
and the armed forces itself.

Tedious A to B marches won't stop this war, no matter
how many people turn out. It's only when we cross the
thin blue line can real impact be made.

Be realistic, think the impossible!
