Stop bombing Syria
Revelations that British fighter pilots have been secretly bombing Syria under US command reveal both the government's contempt for democracy and its subservience to Washington foreign policy. The news makes a mockery of Michael Fallon's promise of a full debate and vote in parliament on the issue.

Since the start of the "war on terror", Jihadi organisation has spread from small pockets of Central Asia across whole swathes of the globe. Western bombing in Syria will do nothing to halt Isis. On the contrary it will add fuel to the flames of war engulfing the whole region, and it will lead to an increase in terrorist attacks.

Stop the War demands the government publicly commits to an immediate end to British bombing of Syria. More widely we call for an end to military and diplomatic support for Saudi Arabia in its war on Yemen and for a stop to the bombing campaign in Iraq. 

The anti-war movement needs to maximise pressure against our government's foreign wars.
