Tens Of Thousands Join UK’s Largest Anti-Nuclear Demo In Decades
Tens of thousands took to the streets of London on Saturday in what has been described as Britain’s biggest anti-nuclear weapons demonstration in a generation. Organized by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and backed by Jeremy Corbyn, Nicola Sturgeon and Caroline Lucas, the rally comes ahead of a parliamentary decision on whether or not to replace Trident, Britain’s nuclear weapons system. Protesters opposing the renewal of UK’s expensive nuclear deterrent say there are better ways to spend the taxpayers’ billions. ‘We are not alone,’ Jeremy Corbyn told the crowd.
