More than 2,000 people marched Saturday in London to demand an end to Britain"s involvement in the Afghan war effort, dpa reported. Organised by a group called Stop The War Coalition, the demo was led by a current active-duty soldier as well as by relatives of British soldiers. The protest march went through central London, ending in Trafalgar Square. It took place at a time when opinion polls show a further drop in public support for the war effort. Channel 4 TV reported a poll now showing 62 per cent of Britons wanting forces to be pulled out immediately or next year, and 48 per cent believing a victory is impossible as against 36 per cent who felt that way in a 2007 survey. -- SPA
