In November, the Westminster government announced major increases in military spending, while at the same time slashing the overseas aid budget. This double-decision has been heavily criticised by many. With a further set of budget decisions on the horizon, it is important and timely to have a discussion about the ways forward for campaigners.
Speakers:
1. UK military spending - summary of the recent increases [Sam Perlo-Freeman, Campaign Against Arms Trade]
2. UK spending on nuclear weapons and other military technologies [Kate Hudson, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament]
3. Military spending and climate change [Stuart Parkinson, Scientists for Global Responsibility]
4. Other alternative spending priorities - e.g. health and poverty eradication [Deborah Burton, Tipping Point]
