The second British Armed Forces Day is being held in Cardiff on June the 26th. This is, of course, a state militarist parade justifying the crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq, promoting the patriotic poison amongst the general public which largely does not support the war. top CON-DEM politicians are of course going to be at this event.

there does not seem to be any kind of demonstration or protest planned against this event by the Stop the War Coalition or anybody else. The Islam 4uk protest in wooton basset angered many people, however this does not mean that there should not be a protest, a protest by the left would be different and have a different emphasis. Why has the stop the war coalition and others been silent on this? I have written this to see what people think, whether activists should try and organise something. i think if there is a protest, it should be one held by the Left in a very different manner to that held by Islam4Uk at wooton bassett of course. so, is there interest among people to come to a demo against British Armed Forces day? Should we attempt to hold a demo? if not, then why not?
