Respect MP George Galloway will be in Preston to speak at a Public Meeting at Preston Muslim Girls School.

The crisis meeting has been organised by Preston Stop the War Coalition to discuss the effects of Britain's foreign policies on countries such as Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon.

Also attending will be Barry Levine from Jews for Justice in Palestine.

He said, "It would be easy to think that Israel's murderous campaign had the full support of Jewish people both here and abroad but this is not the case.

"Until a just solution is achieved for the Palestinian people, there is no prospect for peace in the Middle East".

George Galloway spoke of the current debate on Tony Blair stepping down as leader of the Labour Party saying, "Getting rid of Blair is a precondition for any change on policy.

"That's the case I will be making at this meeting in Preston and it is why everyone should be in Manchester for the mass protest on the 23rd."

The Meeting is to be held on Tuesday 19th September at 7.45pm at Deepdale Mill Street. Other speakers will include Rose Gentle from Military Families against the War, Abdul Qureishi from Lancashire Council of Mosques and Molana Ahmed, Imam of Jamia Mosque, Preston.
