Transcript of (British hostage) Bigley Statement -- in full
Give peace a chance, says the Liverpuddlian.

<snip>
Please, please lobby Mr Blair. Please lobby all of the political parties that you are involved with and ask them to stop and have a look at the Iraqis plight.

Iraq is suffering and has been suffering too long and it needs its country like you. Would you like the Germans or any other country walking down the street with a gun, in England, in Scotland, I don’t think so. And the Iraqis don’t like foreign troops on their soil walking down the street with guns, it’s not right and it’s not fair. We need to pull the troops out and let the Iraqis run their own country, their own destiny.

And I ask you all, of course I need help, of course I do, that goes without saying but the Iraqis also need help, they need to be left alone to rebuild their country and their own futures at the speed they want to do it and not be pushed and shoved.

People of Britain and people of Liverpool particularly, you are very special people, you are people who can open your mouths and speak and say enough is enough. Enough is enough of playing with Iraq like a toy. Pack your bags and get out and let’s hope we can come back and visit the country as a guest, as a guest of the Iraqis
