Spend it on Something Else

The Cambridge Stop the War Group protested in the Market Square last Saturday to raise the issue of Trident replacement, the upcoming blockage of the Scottish navel base this weekend by Cambridge people and the Stop the War/CND demonstration being held in central London on Saturday 24th February.
The government is absolutely adamant that it is going to replace trident and commit Britain to a new generation of nuclear weapons. More dangerous and more expensive then before. The commitment is also one that links us to Washington’s foreign policies, and thus its pro market, environmentally and socially exploitative global economic project.
When half the world's population can’t get a proper meal every day and in the most resorce rich places on the planet people die from starvation, how can we use our technological knowhow to build killing machines to keep the poor down? At a time when the government is struggling to rebuild Schools that are falling appart and our Hospitals are in funding crisis, when there is a housing and transport crisis, how on earth can you justify a £76bn financial commitment? When the Government uses WMD’s to start a war with Iraq and is now constructing a case against Iran on the same grounds how can we go ahead with the proliferation of our own WMD’s?
