Speaker: Jonathon Shafi. The war against Iran is the latest horror unleashed by a system in crisis. What is the alternative?
About this Event

Why are we seeing war after war. Why is fascism on the rise again. Why is profit for the wealthy few prioritised above the needs of 99% of the world’s population.

Jonathon Shafi from Glasgow Counterfire will introduce the topic then it will be over to everyone for questions and discussion. Join us for a crucial discussion about how we halt the madness.
