Home London PBP Policies Warmongering

Warmongering

PBP would withdraw UK troops from Afghanistan and would cancel the Trident replacement.

Recent political movements in the Middle East and elsewhere show that it is time for the UK to stop being a part of the imposition of governments on people who are now determined to reclaim their political destiny.

We do not need oppressive governments to be our allies in war after war, because we don't need those wars. We would seek access to oil in the Middle East and elsewhere only with the consent of the people at a fair price, not through alliances with governments which are oppressing and exploiting their people.

This would be a lot cheaper in the long run than the instability and resentment that is resulting from our current foreign policy, not to mention the cost in lives and the cost of the bombs and missiles.

War makes arms dealers rich and diverts attention from the problems and inequality in society. Lucrative contracts for 'rebuilding' are doled out afterwards. A "win-win" for big business - death, misery and destruction for people like us!

Thanks to Bird & Kuhn for the illustration.

London PBP Objectives

London People Before Profit co-ordinates the activities of People Before Profit groups in various London boroughs.

 

It will campaign to win seats on the Greater London Assembly with the aim of bringing public services back "in house".

 

Because we have only recently decided to contest elections outside Lewisham, we are still in the process of drawing up our manifesto for London, but you can download the Lewisham Manifesto, updated at our recent party conference, by going to our Downloads section - see left hand column
