are you London? - Artemisback - 12-01-2015
1st December 2015
Opposition to war grows - join the protests.
Opposition to bombing Syria is growing. There have been protests up and down the country. Britain's biggest trade unions Unite and Unison have come out against it as have a long list of student leaders and a whole range of high profile figures from former UN Assistant Secretary General Hans Von Sponeck to former NATO General Sir Richard Shirreff.
Despite the fact that his case for war is starting to unravel, David Cameron has decided to push ahead with the vote, emboldened by support from some senior Labour figures.
Almost all the main proponents of a new war supported the catastrophic invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the disastrous bombing of Libya in 2011.
Tonight
Once again people will be protesting tonight against the plans to drag us into a fourth war in 14 years. Hundreds are set to gather in Parliament Square in London at 6pm and elsewhere around the country.
Tomorrow
In London during the day of the vote tomorrow, activists will be present with banners outside parliament from 12 midday and we have called a further protest and a die - in at Parliament Square at 6.00pm.
As well as taking to the streets we are urging everyone to lobby their MPs one more time.
We have 24 hours to limit the vote for war - make your voice heard.

The question is will the pols even listen.
There's a growing backlash to mass immigration as well, and they seem completely deaf to that phenomenon, or content to dismiss it as "racism" and "xenophobia". The politicians are failing their citizens on multiple fronts right now, over this issue.

It's true because bombing Syria won't solve anything, probably just make things worse.
The region is set for chaos for the next 50 years probably, there's no short-term solution because it's too late.
