PTUC : Syria and Petitions

Following the Parliamentary vote to extend the British bombing campaigns against terrorist targets into Syria last week, Peterborough Trades Union Council are keen to release a statement to confirm that we are fundamentally opposed to this course of action. PTUC send solidarity greeting to our comrades the world over who are victims of terrorist atrocities, however, we believe that the situation will not be made any better by dropping bombs on areas where civilian populations are put at risk, and referring to these unfortunate victims as ‘collateral damage’ is not acceptable either. We believe that bombing Syria will cause more young people to look towards our Governments as the source of their inequality, instability and for the loss of their loved one’s. Another solution must be sought.
There will be a Pots and Pans Demo against the bombing of Syria in Peterborough on Saturday 12 December. Meet at 2pm outside the Conservative Club on Broadway. There is also a Stop the War demo in London. See the STW website for details.
