Anti-war Britons: share your stories

Is Britain becoming an anti-war country? Sources at the Ministry of Defence have detected a growing war-weariness in the UK population, with a widespread perception that recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have not achieved their stated aims. The sources also drew attention to the increasingly multicultural make-up of the UK as a possible reason for the reluctance, though this suggestion received short shrift from many of our commenters.

We'd like to hear from those in the UK who have become increasingly anti-war over over the past twenty years – the protests leading up to the war in Iraq, for example, was cited by many readers as a key moment. If you've taken part in marches or other campaigns, share your stories and images from the day with us. If there was a particular moment that politicised you, tell us about it. We'll use your stories and images to help build a sense of the UK's changing attitudes to war. You can contribute your story by clicking on the blue button above.
