Scrap Trident!

MPs vote today on whether to renew the UK's nuclear deterrent. To do so would not only contravene the Non-Proliferation Treaty but would commit the UK to huge spending, perpetuate the nuclear arms race, and send the wrong signal to those countries we are trying to convince not to build their own programs.

Besides these arguments, Tony Blair's government has broken a promise it made to allow a full public debate prior to holding a vote on the issue. The debate has been stifled and the vote is being rushed into.

While it's going to be tough to prevent the Yes vote, you can join or donate to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament here and say No to Trident.
