Stop War demonstration on Syria – TOMORROW

Simon Gibbs

Pavel, a regular from the meetup, will be attending a Stop War demonstration this Saturday 31st. Still you ask? I did to, Pavel writes:

Yes, still – 272 MPs voted for the operation

Quite. Buried in the polling news is the fact that 47% of the people agree with a pro-inteventionist agenda. The number of people with no opinion exceeds the margin of victory. Events may still force a further vote.

It cannot hurt to show your face and demonstrate that you are not a “war mongering republican”, but you may prefer (as I do) to simply write a letter to the people that matter:

It’s not over.

Make sure your opinion is heard. Conservative MPs are more likely to respect your opinion than the reams of predictable letters they receive from “the left”. Your unique stance may sway them.

    I hate to rain on anyone’s parade (or demo), but I suspect this might be as much a socialist political rally as it is an anti-war one. Stop the War Coalition’s President is Tony Benn, and their vice-presidents include Tariq Ali, Louise Christian, Tam Dalyell, George Galloway(!), and Caroline Lucas. Not the libertarian movement’s best buddies. Good luck if you’re going though – maybe you can convert a few away from the dark side.

      George Galloway? That’s doing peace a disservice. I’ve moved the action box up the billing.
