Taxpayers should have the choice not to contribute to the military services
Many UK citizens do not believe the military to be a worthy organisation due to the unethical, immoral and inhumane circumstances that occur during our soldiers’ expeditions to foreign lands. Additionally many wars, if not all recent wars that our soldiers have participated in have been somewhat controversial and hold hypocrisies not undue to a widely held opinion that governments including that of the UK government create unrest and war for personal gain.
It is everyone’s right within a supposed democratic country to choose not to participate (through the contribution of money or otherwise) in something that they believe is wrong (with wrong theoretically meaning immoral).
Action that the Government should take in affect of this petition receiving enough public support should be in the form of an opt out system, or alternatively a separate military for the use of defence of own territory (within the confines of the UK), but not attack (insurgencies).
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
