ANTI-WAR campaigners gathered outside an armed forces careers office to show their opposition to war with Iraq.

Around 30 students and Teesside Against The War members met on Borough Road, Middlesbrough, yesterday, to denounce any planned action by the West in the Middle East.

Chairman Peter Smith said he expected allied bombing to start in the New Year, despite similar protests in towns and cities across the country.

Teesside Against The War has been hosting public meetings, marches and demonstrations, to show opposition to military action against Iraq.
