Quotes:

Kele, lead singer of Bloc Party, said:
‘Climate change is clearly the greatest security threat we face. A £76 billion investment in tackling climate change would seriously change the world for the better. £76 billion on nukes will bring us much closer to global catastrophe.’

Ian Brown, former lead singer of the Stone Roses, said:
‘'Why do we need these weapons? Is someone going to attack us? Why are we able to have these weapons but other countries are told they can’t? Our political leaders are hypocrites and warmongers. Has humanity learnt nothing from the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Would anybody like to repeat an act like that? It is a lie to say these nuclear weapons are necessary for the UK but older civilisations are not allowed them. Say NO to trident.’

Asian Dub Foundation said:
How can Britain lecture a country like Iran on nuclear weapons and then flagrantly encourage nuclear proliferation in this way? Not only is it a criminal waste of money but the idea that it is "independent" is nonsense: the trigger mechanism will be built and controlled from the U.S.

Statement in full:

‘Parliament is about to vote on replacing Trident – Britain’s nuclear weapons system. These are Weapons of Mass Destruction which can kill hundreds of millions of people. They cannot protect us from today’s security threats such as terrorism and climate change.

Almost 60% of the British public say they don’t want Trident replaced. A decision to replace it would make the world a more dangerous place and reinforce the hypocrisy of our government which invaded Iraq on the basis of lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction – but now plans to build its own new nuclear weapons.

If Britain says it needs nuclear weapons for its security, other countries are likely to follow suit. To replace Trident, when we face no nuclear threat, could start a nuclear arms race.

The £76 billion cost to replace and maintain Trident would be better spent on health care, education, alleviating global poverty or tackling the problems of climate change.

Let’s choose peace and justice, not nuclear weapons and war.

Join us in calling on the government – No Trident Replacement!’
