March to Stop Military Academy at St Athan

Posted on April 15th, 2008 filed in Cardiff, Corporations, Politics, Wales

Join the demonstration against the proposed military academy in South Wales.

Saturday 26 April, Assemble 1.30 pm, Cathays Park (opp. City Hall & National Museum)

The Military Academy is funded by defence multi-nationals like Raytheon, the manufacturer of cluster-bombs, £14 billion is being spent on this huge complex when we need hospitals & schools.

Needless to say the multinationals will be making a large profit on the scheme. It is also the biggest PFI (Private Finance Initiative) in history, and probably the biggest ever award of taxpayers money to Wales:

Why is there always a blank cheque for war, but no blank cheque for vital public services?

Called by the Stop the St Athan’s Military Academy Campaign and supported by UK Stop the War Coalition, CND Cymru, Cynefinywerin and many other organisations. People will be coming from all over Wales and beyond.
