Create a voluntary contribution fund for the UK armed forces

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 2 March 2025

We urge the Government to raise money for the UK armed forces by creating a fund where UK citizens can voluntarily commit to donating money to UK armed forces by a voluntary contribution each week or month from their pay or directly from their bank account. We believe we all need to work together during these difficult times. We would like the Government to give the public a chance to give something back to the UK. We should be able to defend ourselves and have protection, and we believe we should give the public a choice to help so we can all stand together to deter any aggressor, as the public did during World War II.

Don't increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP & change approach

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 25 February 2025

We urge the Government to not increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP. We believe increasing military spending would exacerbate international tensions and make the UK involvement in wars more likely, which could put all of us in the UK more at risk. We believe current tensions in Europe are largely due to the foreign policies of UK and other Western governments. We feel that policies of weapons to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia have not brought peace any closer. We believe the UK’s interests and international justice would be served much better by policies of neutrality, diplomacy and by promoting nonviolence and self-determination of regions.
