Stop the War Coalition to hold emergency Syria protest

British anti-war organisation, Stop the War Coalition is planning to hold an emergency protest against Western military intervention in Syria. Activists from the umbrella group will meet outside Downing Street at 1700 hrs on Wednesday to demonstrate against what they describe as a potentially "catastrophic" war. In a statement,  Stop the War Coalition said: "Most people in this country (UK) have learnt from the disasters of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. Our politicians however have learnt nothing. "We need the maximum level of protest to stop them plunging us in to yet another catastrophic war." According to a Telegraph/YouGov poll on Sunday, only nine percent of the British public would support troops being sent to Syria, and only 16 percent support sending more arms to the region.
