Thepro-war Left was a grouping ofBritishleft wingjournalists andbloggers who supported for the2003 invasion of Iraq, at variance with much of the rest of the BritishLeft, which opposed it. They were centered on theEuston manifesto, which in October 2007 had 2,929 signatories.[1] The name is derived from the pro-war group the Undertakers.
They have some similarity with Americanliberal hawks andAnti-Germans.
The pro-war Left can be seen as mainly a phenomenon of theblogosphere. Most of its supporters contribute to or run blogs,Harry's Place being the most well known and influential of these.
On October 7, 2007, a counter-demonstration[2] to theAl-Quds march was organised by Harry's Place to which all of the pro-war Left were invited. The organisers estimate that 100 people turned up over the course of the day.
As well as the Euston Manifesto there are other organisations that have been associated with the pro-war Left such asLabour Friends of Iraq,Unite Against Terror,Democratiya andEngage.
