I was staffing the Stop the War Coalition stall at the Green Party conference last Saturday but there were no motions or fringes at this conference about the wars which Britain is currently involved in, unlike the spring conference in Cardiff. However, as this brilliant film points out, it is essential to view these costs in the light of the massive cuts being experienced by some of the most vulnerable people in the UK and the destruction of the public services and growing unemployment.
I hope that as many people as possible will turn out to protest against this war and call for its end on October 8th in London.

I'm sure everyone wants the war to end; but, the withdrawl of western troops is not the same as ending the war. The war will carry on, it won't be on our television screens any more "a far away country and people of whom we know nothing". Would you have advocated non-intervention in Spain in the thirties?
