And talking of planes being blown out of the sky, the list of musicians adding their names to the anti-war movement continues to grow. Travis, Craig David, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Damon Albarn, Jarvis Cocker, Bob Geldof, Annie Lennox and Sting have all put their names to an anti-war petition published in the Guardian (preaching to the converted perhaps!).
The advert reads: "We add our voices to the growing and broad range of domestic and international opinion opposed to the United States proposed military action on Iraq. We believe that such a war would be both immoral and contrary to international law. It would inevitably further destabalise the situation in the Middle East. We urge the British government to withhold support for a war on Iraq and call on all who support peace and respect international law to take a similar stand."
Many of those on the petition are expected to join the half million plus protesters who will march against the war in London tomorrow, where both Damon Albarn and Ms Dynamite will speak and perform. More info about the march at www.stopthewar.org.uk.
