END THIS SENSELESS WAR!

HONOUR OUT TROOPS – BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!

The majority of the UK citizens wish the safe return of our soldiers, and an end to the futile never ending war in Afghanistan. Too many soldiers and innocent civilians have been maimed and killed in order to protect the corporate financial interest and assets of the global business empire. The rich have got richer while the poor have got poorer, paying for wars we do not believe in. This has got to stop!

These opinion polls support this view.

Petition into Downing Street 11th August 2011

With a notice of 24 hours, the authorities in the UK can now authorise the use of water cannon and plastic bullets, should there be a threat of the violence and looting that has been witnessed in so many  of our cities country-wide.

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2087759,00.html

To date, the evidence against the use of such drastic measures speak for themselves.

It must never be acceptable that we, the British people, will allow our civil liberties to be pushed beyond what is reasonable. Water canon and rubber bullets have been used in Northern Ireland. Sadly this has generally been accepted across the UK. Now for the first time, they could be used in mainland Britain. Also, worryingly, they could be used against protesters and to stop blockades.

We need to rally now in defence of what Britain stands for, and It does not accept that we turn on our own people with force that could lead to serious injury or death. It is used in other countries, however, the British nation will not accept its use here. We say to the British Government:

” DON’T CROSS THE LINE”

If we do, the use of water cannon and plastic bullets  would lead to more potential violence and resentment.

The warning signs of civil unrest has been spoken about for years, coming from teachers, police, social workers, community workers etc. The issue is that consecutive governments have chosen to ignore these concerns.  With the recent austerity cuts that have affected people on low income especially, there has been an outcry, by the people, that has gone unheeded.

Ultimately, if we insist on waging wars, that the people do not want to  support, morally or financially, then something has got to give…..
