Syria: Thousands will ‘beat the government’ over air strikes
THE thousands expected to march against war will overcome the government, according to leading anti-war campaigner Lindsey German.
In the wake of Wednesday’s Commons vote for air strikes on Syria, the Stop the War convener said campaigners would “beat the government over this.”
Her words were followed by protests, rallies and vigils all across Britain, from Falmouth to Inverness. She added that Labour MPs who voted for air strikes were “acting against the interests of their constituents, against the interests of Labour members, against the interests of everybody in the country that wants peace.”
