Opposition to the war in Afghanistan is growing. Opinion polls in Britain and the US show that people no longer believe the war serves any purpose. 60% of people want British troops brought home by the end of the year. Even the tabloid media is having to reflect the growing discontent.

Leading Democrats in the United States are trying to stop Obama sending more troops, while his Afghanistan commander General McChrystal rumoured to be asking for an increase of 45,000.

Last month's election in Afghanistan was obviously rigged even if the US and British governments are reluctant to say so. The idea that British soldiers have been dying in large numbers to enable there to be a 'free and fair' election is laughable. Politicians and military commanders are beginning to openly admit that they are not "winning" the war.

With a general election here in only a few months Stop the War's intensified campaign to bring the troops home is getting a tremendous response both in Bristol and across the country. Everywhere we leaflet and collect signatures on petitions the response to the anti-war message is overwhelmingly positive.

Help build this campaign. Join us on the 'Troops Out Of Afghanistan Now' national demonstration in London on Saturday 24th October . There will be coaches from Bristol leaving at 8.15am from Anchor Rd (opposite @Bristol).
