Actress Vanessa Redgrave and her brother Corin, also an acclaimed stage actor, are starting a new political party in the UK. “Its manifesto calls for the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq; the cancellation of third world debt; the return of Britons held at Guantanamo Bay and the release of all foreign nationals held without trial in the UK.” The party is not expected to have any actual influence on the British political system, and seems to have been conceived largely as an attempt to draw attention to the issues of human rights which have long been championed by the Redgraves.
