Summary

Description

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside Britain's parliament in London to protest the government's determination to press ahead with air strikes on Syria. This photo was taken at the end of the rally when there were only a few dozen protesters left in parliament square.

Some protesters told me they feared that bombing Syria would only create more casualties which in turn would only help IS gain more local and international recruits to its' cause.

A poll on Saturday in the Daily Mirror suggested the U.K's population is divided and without a convincing popular mandate for David' Cameron's plan to bomb IS positions in Syria.

According to the paper

"48% back British air raids on the extremists, contrasted with 30% who want the RAF to stay out of the fight, and 21% who don’t know. But an overwhelming majority - 59% believe sending Tornado warplanes into action over Syria will increase the risk of terrorists inflicting carnage in the UK."
