Anti-war protests worry British troops in the Gulf

British troops stationed in the Gulf are worried that anti-war protests mean they do not have public support at home, Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said today.

At the end of a two-day visit to servicemen and women in Kuwait, Mr Duncan Smith praised the "fantastic" efforts of forces personnel to prepare for any action and called on the British Government to ensure that they are given the best possible support and equipment.
