The Stop The War Coalition is holding a meeting in Central London this coming Saturday. Speakers are the usual suspects, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
“The spectre of war looms large over Europe. The proxy war between NATO and Russia in Ukraine threatens to drag on for many years, causing untold misery for the people of Ukraine and plummeting living standards right across the continent.”
No reasonable person would take issue with that claim. However ill-advised was Vladimir Putin’s invasion, it is clear that many in Washington are enthusiastic for this madness to continue, whether it is because they are laundering money, growing rich off arm sales, or simply like seeing innocent people suffer. When Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke out against the war, she was called a Putin puppet while so-called progressives have been heckled by their own supporters.
If you can’t attend in person – obviously the vast majority – tickets are currently being sold on Eventbrite.
Other, local UK events include an evening meeting in Bristol this Friday and an evening rally in Brighton on April 27. Full details of these and other meetings can be found on their website. Stop The War is also on Facebook and YouTube.

“However ill-advised was Vladimir Putin’s invasion”? Credibility — gone.

Would love to attend but it is short notice. Best wishes anyway.
The ‘Stop The War in Ukraine’ on the 22nd April in London, will be just more virtue signalling from a bunch of leftie swine. Sevim Dağdelen – German politician and a member of the Left Party. Clare Daly– MEP ,The Left in the European Parliament. Lindsey German– British left-wing political activist. Kate Hudson– CND and left-wing political activist. The only name I see missing from the list of speakers is Leon Trotsky, their political ideologue. One million people marched through London in 2003, in the naïve belief that they could stop an illegal invasion on Iraq. The only thing this ‘Stop… Read more »
Crass I am sure you are at an other list!
Imperialists want to stop the war because they are losing.
Losing? Lost more like and months ago. The imperialists though are far too ideological to see or accept the reality and so they keep wanting to do what comes natural, double down. Their ideology has turned them certifiably mad.
They have to appear strong to hide desperation. Both camps work together, the hardliners and the pacifists who try to “stop the hardliners” while in reality attempting to stop Putin. Putin is not so stupid though, losers can’t be choosers. Western leftists are totally controlled opposition.
Agreed. In my own view the political ‘left’ and ‘right’ is a complete paradigm. They’re both neo-liberal nowadays the only differences being at the periphery. As Noam Chomski told Yanus Varoufakis “neo-liberalism is an oxymoron in that it’s neither liberal nor is it new”. I only would have added, that it’s a mask disguising old fashioned fascism wearing a 21st century mask … that just keeps on slipping.
So what label would the author of this article attach to if Putin had allowed a NATO armed Kiev to conquer the Donbass exterminating or expelling most of its population, followed with hosting NATO and all its missiles right on Moscow’s front porch? Because that’s exactly what would have happened.
As JanetC quite correctly says, the author’s credibility in calling the invasion, “ill-advised”, is literally in tatters.
