I went on an anti-Iraq war demonstration in February 1998 and as I recall Tony Benn was the only politician who turned up. I may just not have recognised other politicians who may have been there, though. He stood on something, possibly a soapbox, and spoke to a small crowd. It was already perfectly clear even then that they were going to attack Iraq at some point.

I was mistaken. Thought that clip was 1991, but if 1998 it must have been before the Desert Fox bombing. There's been a lot of bombing over the years (and it's still a fucking mess, although the oil price has been largely protected).
