Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament

Picture it: Putin doing a press conference in a tank factory in Russia:

Sounds like comic-book villain stuff right? Those are the same words our 'centre-left' Prime Minister spoke yesterday at BAE in Glasgow.

Really important intervention here from CND and expert affiliates - if its security we seek, the billions spent on arms proposed by Healey's SDR are totally MISSPENT.

This government is not serious about security.

Citizens now need to stand up and demand a strategy for peace, not war.

This means decades more COMPLIANCE with US foreign policy, which has led to several generational catastrophes in the 21st century (Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Gaza).

These weapons contribute nothing 'defence'. All they do is compromise our sovereignty.

Once seen as a symbolic protest, the nuclear ban treaty is growing teeth New measures show the TPNW is becoming a major diplomatic forum for questioning the logic of nuclear deterrence.
