Wrap up trident demonstration in London
February 5, 2015 | Categorised in: Latest News, Meeting for SufferingsHere is a photo of Friends of our Area Meeting holding the Quakers for Peace banner at the “Wrap Up Trident” demonstration on Saturday, January 24, 2015. This was a demonstration organised by the CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) and which attracted many people from around the country.
We heard speakers from the Green Party, Scottish National Pary (SNP) and Clywd Cymru, as well as legendary CND campaigner Bruce Kent, who addressed the crowd in Parliament Square, arguing that Trident is outdated and that the cost of it would pay for much-needed services, including the National Health Service, several times over.
