Pension Divest

To run cover

Looking forward to his detail report on this. One of the most level headed voices of the new generation of citizen journalists

An American PMC contractor recounts the story of a small boy who walked 7 and a half miles for some scraps of food only to be shot by the IDF.

You don’t need anyone else to lead it. Everyone else’s track record is of proven flawed principles. We need fresh bold thinkers and doers

Appreciation today for Pieter D. Wezeman @sipri.org and his efforts to help us understand global arms trade and industry trends www.sipri.org/about/bios/p...

How is the use of explosive weapons in populated areas a child rights issue? How is the use of explosive weapons in populated areas a child rights issue?

"Explosive weapons affect all demographics, but the specific impact on children make explosive weapons and the political declaration a child rights issue. Children are one of the most vulnerable demographics in society,...". www.minesactioncanada.org/ewipachildri... @minesactioncan.bsky.social

Nice tie in

Are you talking about the request to give my data to about a thousand “vendors” just to read that article? Its ridiculous.

Reeves is wrong.

More military spending does not bring safety and security.

It brings more death, destruction - and profits for arms dealers.

Maybe Palantir doing target practice for their latest AI gen. According to Labour, defence industry profiteering is ethical, good for our defence and supports NATO. So pensioners etc can profit from the sale of that missile.

Less likely to go after that one. LGPS members probably seen as less of a worry to annoy. Civil servants maybe seen as more essential to keep on side. But just like Trump, reform are hard to predict as they are not acting rationally.

They can offer Nest presumably.

LGPS is defined benefit underwritten by the tax payer but initially any shortfall would be made up by employer contributions increasing. Less uptake puts the pressure down the road though. So reform can look like they are saving money today and costs come later.

Nailed it

How will the share prices rise if the money is invested in people rather than weapons for killing people. Its all about the money as always

Deescalation is better for defence but what effect will that have on the share prices of the $1.2 trillion invested in arms companies.

More of the same doesn’t fix problems it perpetuates more of the same.

Putin isn’t expansionist the CIA are. All the colour revolutions. If west stops he’ll stop.

And we’re not a rich country. NHS, police, care services, roads etc all on knees. Debt out of control.

Who supplied the arms to Putin and Israel to make these conflicts happen? Always follow the money

We will forever have war while people are fooled like this. War is not as inevitable as you think

CEOs of arms corporations?

You have been duped. The national defence scam after doing everything to create instability and conflict

The journals are actually corrupted though. Pharma bought and paid for. Also universities. Try to get interest in research or publication if it would hurt Pharma profits. The resistance exposes the backers.

The big challenge for implementing AI in public health (thinking of UK) is how to stop it saying the patient needs tests and treatment the health service can’t afford to offer because all the tax has been channelled to the war machine.

Its because they don’t let a war machine suck up all their taxes

Perhaps there are too many from Gaza. Napalm girl was shocking while the world has become accustomed to avoiding looking at Gaza images. Besides its not “our” soldiers doing it. Just “our” guns and bombs. Besides “started oct 7th when Hamas…” repeated and repeated.

Companies in Russia's neighbouring countries are intermediaries in the evasion of military sanctions: Armenia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as Georgia and Uzbekistan. Since the outbreak of war, these countries have seen an abnormal increase in arms imports

The media are under orders clearly

Positive move but Avon fund is autonomous and BANES is the Administering Authority. We now need scheme members to demand this directly from the Pension Committee. Call on the committee to do a member engagement on the issue of all arms investments. BAe announced now selling missiles to Sisi…

“Egypt” isn’t. Oppressive dictator Sisi is
