Cut War Not Welfare:
join the STUC march 18 October 2014
A Just Scotland March and Rally
18th October: Muster 10am, Glasgow Green
March from Glasgow Green 10.30am to Rally in George Sq.
Stop the War will join other peace campaigns on 18 October and hit the streets of Glasgow to say Cut War Not Welfare as part of the STUC A Just Scotland march and rally this Saturday.
We will join the march to point out the hypocrisy of imposing increasingly harsh austerity measures on ordinary people, with another £25 billion cuts in public services recently announced, while increasing the money spent on new wars and bloodshed. We believe the government should spend the money on welfare not warfare.
We will demand an end to the bombing campaign in Iraq, and protest against the British government intervening in Syria.
