Justice and peace pilgrims spark debate
A debate has been sparked after the Pilgrimage passed through York
A British Legion chairman has described recent actions of the Peace and Economic Justice pilgrims as ‘a total insult and a total lack of respect’. His remarks followed the arrival of the pilgrimage at York on Armed Forces Day, 29 June. The pilgrims walked through the city handing out anti-war literature to soldiers and veterans who were manning stalls.
