Colin Thomas will be speaking about opposition to the First World War in Bristol at a meeting organised by the University Of Fishponds on Sunday 13th November at Kingfisher Cafe, 99 Burley Grove, Bristol, BS16 2LE – 7.00pm to 9.00pm

‘Canting humbugs’was the way some in Bristol characterised opponents of the ‘Great War’. But is is increasingly clear that local councillor Walter Ayles and others who were prepared to go to prison for their opposition to the war, had considerable local support. Colin’s talk will be illustrated with video extracts.
