The CD includes a eulogy by Craig Brierley whose brother was killed in Iraq in 2003. Their father, Peter Brierley, confronted Tony Blair, refusing to shake his hand, and is a staunch anti-war campaigner and seeker of answers to the "weapons of mass destruction" question.[3] He was one of the driving influences in creating the CD.

Peter Brierley was interviewed about the CD on Good Morning on ITV on 30 October 2015.
