“Every year Parliament agrees a budget and authorises the Government to allocate its available funds (income + borrowing) to its Ministries and Departments. In the current year the Ministry of Defence (in reality the Ministry of War) will receive around £50bn of taxpayers’ money to spend on military activities. The MoD then uses some of this money to buy weapons and pay military forces to drop bombs and fire missiles into smaller weaker undefended nation States killing and injuring civilians.
Over the past 18 years UK Government officials have been responsible for initiating, supporting and financing four illegal wars in which we’ve murdered 1.2M adults and 600,000 children, injured many more and driven 12M refugees into exile and destitution. These are the worst atrocities in British history and I want to say here and now that I want nothing to do with it. Under no circumstances will I willingly contribute financially to these heinous massacres and atrocities”
