Glasgow Against the Arms Fair

Holding GCC to account on their promise of no more arms fairs in our city. Campaigning against war-profiteering taking place across Scotland.

[Glasgow Against the Arms Fair @SinkUDT]

Thanks to everyone who has spoken out and came down to support the #sinkudt protests, the council has said there will never be an arms fair in Glasgow again!

This is a massive victory for all but we need to keep the pressure on. People power works. https://t.co/WpYkiFTroX

There are the words of Collette Bell, partner of Sheku Bayoh, mother of their young son - on the ‘joke’ comments on Sheku’s death by Calum Steele President of the Scottish Police Federation - today following the decision not to prosecute

Appalling intervention in the #GE2019 by @JoSwinson. She says @JeremyCorbyn's a threat to national security because he won't engage in nuclear warfare.

She's said she's prepared to press the nuclear button if she becomes Prime Minister. What twisted priorities! #VoteOutNukes

Jacob Rees-Mogg thinks #Grenfell did not have "anything to do with race or class" - how many high-rise flats covered in flammable cladding has he ever stayed in?

Also: who'd ever vote for these people!? #GE2019

A report to mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall reveals that two multinational arms companies funded by Scottish Enterprise - Leonardo in Edinburgh and Thales in Glasgow - benefit from border security to keep refugees out of Europe.

If you watched #ForSama and want to see an extended interview with Waad and Hamza here is their #WaysToChangeTheWorld https://t.co/SU6LnI0nHn

[Amy @downwithcheese]

Every single household should be made to watch #ForSama on @Channel4 and maybe then anyone who has ever said a bad word about a refugee may have a glimmer of the horrors these poor people have suffered through for 7years and hopefully rethink the vile diatribes they spew.

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

Why, when our Kurdish allies face a campaign of ethnic cleansing at Turkey's hands, are the UK Government authorising arms sales and the Scottish Government giving public cash to the arms dealers? #twitterKurds #Rojava

Great to see so many Glasgow University students protesting BAE systems at their recruitment fair yesterday! Get in touch if you’d like to help support their divestment campaign and get the university to stop funding the arms trade

[Flavia Tudoreanu @FlaviaTudoreanu]

With the Glasgow University Arms Divestment Coalition @GUUnion #UofGlasgow should urgently divest the £3m from the arms industry #divest #nukedivestscot @CAATuk #BAEgoaway #booksnotbombs #nuclearban #endthearmstrade
