Sign the petition! Say NO to #MilitaryConscription!

With politicians calling for '#NationalService' and #conscription on the rise across Europe, the threat of conscription in the UK now seems very real.

We must act now to resist it.

Sign & share widely! https://t.co/6COrV4Tp0R

Today's @M_Star_Online front page on Lib Dem proposals for a British nuclear deterrent independent from the US and the prospect of British involvement in the Strait of Hormuz.

Spoke to @PPUtoday and @CNDuk @SK_Bolt https://t.co/Ciybb8TsPh

[Peace Pledge Union @PPUtoday]

The PPU is quoted in an excellent Morning Star article today discussing the folly of comments by the Lib Dem leader that Britain should build its own nuclear deterrent.

On 28th February, the United States bombed Shajareh Tayyebeh school in southern Iran and killed at least 180 people - mostly children.

It is likely they used Tomahawk missiles to bomb 3 times.

Components of the missiles are made in Raytheon's factory in Glenrothes, Scotland.

They're recruiting for my old job at the Peace Pledge Union! It's a great place to work! #PacifistNotPassive

[Peace Pledge Union @PPUtoday]

We condemn the US-Israeli attack on #Iran. This is a war of aggression founded on lies, threatening to plunge the region into catastrophe

Every day the war continues, the prospects for peace grow more distant. Stop the bombing now!
