Dave and others  (including my future wife Pinki) had been given the house by the GLC  so they could  organise an anti-nuclear march from Faslane in Scotland to Greenham in Wiltshire.<\/p>\n<p>About 16 years later, a conversation between Dave and Reclaim the Streets ( who emerged out of anti M11 campaign of 1993\/4)  inspired a similar protest \u2013 \u2018Reclaim the City \u2018 1st May 1999 [actually think it was 18 June \u2013 J18, Ist may was 2000 one], which was one of the first \u2018anti-globalisation\u2019 protests.<\/p>\n<p>There was a webpage with  this info on it, but last time I looked it had vanished into cyberspace. I think found the link from John Eden\u2019s web site.
