| Description |
Two of the protesters who came to London today for the "Don't Bomb Syria" demo had traveled a long distance. I think the woman on the right said she had come all the way from Scarborough. She's chatting with another activist close to Downing Street. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Whitehall to protest the government's determination to press ahead with air strikes on Syria. Some protesters told me they feared that bombing Syria would only create more casualties which in turn would only help IS gain more local and international recruits to its' cause. There was also anger that at a time of unprecedented welfare cuts, Cameron was embarking the U.K. on action that would be highly costly to taxpayers even if also highly profitable to Britain's arms industry. A poll in this morning's Daily Mirror suggested the U.K's population is divided and without a convincing popular mandate for David' Cameron's plan to bomb IS positions in Syria. According to the paper: "48% back British air raids on the extremists, contrasted with 30% who want the RAF to stay out of the fight, and 21% who don’t know. But an overwhelming majority - 59% believe sending Tornado warplanes into action over Syria will increase the risk of terrorists inflicting carnage in the UK."
