==Vigil at the Anniversary of Afghan "Liberation", Fri 13th November, 7 pm, opposite the Forum==
 +
 +
Bring the Troops Home day Friday 13th November - the anniversary of the so-called liberation of Afghanistan.
 +
 +
The shambles over the fraudulent election, the increased death toll and now even establishment voices
 +
recognising the war is pointless, all strengthen our demand to bring the troops home.
 +
 +
The opinion of the British people is moving strongly against the war with 73% wanting troops out now or
 +
within a year, up from 62% in October (Channel 4 News poll).
 +
 +
Please help us to keep up the pressure by joining our action on Friday 13th.
