Petition to cut military spending not education!
 
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act
now to stop cutting funding to higher education leading to increased fees
and instead cut the immense amount of taxpayers' money given to the
military and in subsidies to profit arms companies. We feel that spending £97
billion replacing Trident nuclear weapons, over £5 billion on aircraft carriers
we don't need and subsidising arms exports to the tune of hundreds of
million of pounds every year is WASTEFUL! It's calculated that every person
in the UK gave arms company BAE Systems £64 last year. The government's
priority should be young people and not arms companies' profits. Cut
military spending not education!
