On 30 July, WWII merchant navy veteran and 1991 Gulf Peace Team camper Richard Crump, 87, marked 16 years of his weekly Whitehall vigil for Iraq. Originally a demonstration against the economic sanctions on Iraq, the vigil has continued as a protest against the US/UK occupation - and against the entire “war on terror”. Most Mondays, Richard can be found at the corner of Whitehall and Parliament Square between 12noon and 2pm.
