Frankie Boyle tells David Cameron ‘don’t bomb Syria’ as 25,000 prepare to protest at Downing Street
The outspoken comic is one of 23 people who have signed a letter begging the PM to block air strikes – with Jeremy Corbyn opposing bombing too
Mounting protest: Frankie Boyle is among those writing to the PM ahead of a march on Westminster
Frankie Boyle has joined musicians, writers, union chiefs and politicians telling David Cameron not to bomb Syria as 25,000 protesters prepare to march on Westminster.
The outspoken comic is one of 23 people who signed a letter begging the Prime Minister to block air strikes tonight after he warned Britain is under ‘armed attack’.
Others include former Roxy Music star Brian Eno, Green MP Caroline Lucas, writer John Pilger and comedian Jeremy Hardy.
Their missive to Number 10 condemns the ‘rush to bomb’ and says wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya have caused ‘large scale casualties, devastating destruction and huge flows of refugees’.
And it declares: “Far from tackling terrorism, the last fourteen years of war have seen massively increased Jihadi terrorist organisation around the world.”
