Don't mention the war!

Seamus Milne sums it up well. The Greens are one of the few parties which have a realistic policy on this war - that it is a disaster. At every hustings I attend, I will be reminding them that the wars abroad and the UK's imperial adventures are costing them local hospitals, cuts in social care, education and everything else. Not to mention the thousands of lives both here and in Afghanistan blighted forever by it. The madness has to stop but the three main neo-liberal parties have joined the party at Bedlam. As I said to someone recently, you will know when British withdrawal is imminent - when the Lib Dems come out against the war.
