The British Parliament is expected to vote this week on joining the U.S.-led bombing campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Ahead of the vote, thousands rallied across Britain on Saturday against the plan.
Lindsey German, Stop the War Coalition: “Well, we are very much opposed to David Cameron’s plan to have a vote in Parliament to bomb Syria. The bombing has already been going on for more than a year by other forces. At the moment, Syria is being bombed by the two biggest military powers in the world—the United States and Russia. So there is no case for it actually solving the problem. ISIS is as strong as it was before the bombing started.”
