A Thousand Words | Chris Coverdale (Part 1 of 3) ► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► / @ukcolumnofficial In this conversation with artist Jake Fern, lifelong peace activist Chris Coverdale opens up about the experiences that shaped him — a strict boarding school that left him wary of blind obedience, the anti-Vietnam War protests that first pulled him into activism, and the family business he unexpectedly inherited that taught him how people really work together (and why that matters for changing the world). He discusses the legal side of his work: how Britain has broken its own promises to renounce war since 1928, how few people actually hold the power to send the country into conflict, and how the UK's own laws define genocide — laid out plainly, using the Iraq War as an example. But mostly this is a personal story about why he's spent 60 years refusing to look away from war, why he believes protest alone doesn't change anything, and why he's chosen to fight through the courts and his own tax refusal instead.
