Trident spending in a time of austerity.....time to shift priorities?
Current spending on nuclear weapons is around £3 billion per year. With that money we could build 30,000 new homes every year, creating 60,000 new jobs in construction. Or we could quadruple our investment in renewable energy.
Anne-Marie O'Reilly, outreach co-ordinator, Campaign Against the Arms Trade will talk about the cost both human and financial of the arms trade and nuclear weapons and the growing call to shift priorities away from military spending and instead fund human needs.
Followed by our regular business meeting. All welcome.
