SWINDON peace protesters are taking their call for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon to London.
Swindon Stop the War Coalition will travel to London tomorrow to join a demonstration calling for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon.
Spokesman Andy Newman, said the Government had failed to press for the conflict to stop and was allowing British airports to be used for flights supplying Israel with missiles.
"There is very strong feeling about this, and we want the Government to change its mind," he said.
He claimed RAF Brize Norton, less than an hour's drive from Swindon, was used on Monday night for American flights carrying munitions to Israel.
"By allowing British military bases to be used directly to support the Israeli military Tony Blair has stepped out of the role of honest broker and is making us an actual military ally of Israel," he said.
"This must stop."
South Swindon MP Anne Snelgrove has signed a letter, along with other MPs, calling for a ceasefire.
The coach carrying the protesters to London leaves Regent Circus at 9.30am tomorrow.
