Bruce Kent’s Scrap Trident Tour
Friends (Quaker) Meeting House, Coton Hill, Shrewsbury
Sunday 9 June 3.30pm
Veteran peace activist Bruce Kent will be speaking in Shrewsbury on Sunday 9 June at 3.30pm. His visit is part of the national speaking tour the 83 year old is undertaking. With the ‘Scrap Trident Tour’, Bruce is going from town to town across the UK, rallying the public to urge the Government to cancel its plans to spend over £100bn on new nuclear weapons.
You are warmly invited to attend this free event.
Bruce was Chair and General Secretary of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) throughout the 1980s, and formerly Chair of War on Want. He says that he wants to ‘make the connection’ between the Government’s £100bn splurge on new nuclear weapons and the ‘savage cuts’ which will ‘hit the poorest hardest’. Bruce is urging everyone to join him ‘in opposing this disgraceful squandering of public money which has everything to do with national pride and nothing to do with national security. Nuclear weapons are no answer to any threats we actually face.’
