Afghanistan petition on No.10 website

The media has recently claimed that support for the conflict in Afghanistan has begun to grown.

I find it difficult to believe that more people are swallowing the lies coming out of Downing Street. The claims that staying in Afghanistan will make the UK safer and less likely to be a terrorist target are spurious and misleading.

It is precisely because of our actions in Iraq and Afghanistan that we have become a terrorist target. We must withdraw immediately and put an end to joining NATO and the US in their global conflicts. This is the only guaranteed way to protect the country.

Please consider signing the following petition on the No.10 website, to prove that we do not support the war and call for our troops to be brought home.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to bring the troops home from Afghanistan. Noting the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, and the destabilisation of Pakistan arising from the NATO military intervention in the region, and believing that only the Afghan people themselves can generate a political solution to their country’s problems, we therefore demand that the government commence the withdrawal of all British military forces from Afghanistan.
