We call upon the British Government to dissociate itself completely from American action and to withdraw British troops guarding U.S. air bases in Thailand, U.K training of South Vietnamese puppet troops in Malaysia and complete withdrawal of all British support for the United States in their brutal war being waged against the Vietnamese people. March with us to the Foreign Office, Saturday, January 14th. Assemble on Victoria Embankment (opposite Charing Cross Station) at 2 p.m. Bring your own banners or carry ours.
