Tens of thousands of people have made their voices heard.
Yesterday, Trafalgar Square was taken over by tens of thousands of protesters marching against the renewal of the UK’s Trident Nuclear Submarine Program.
The protest was far from a fringe event, as it was attended by both the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, and the leader of Britain’s opposition and Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn. Both of whom promised to make Trident an election issue going forward.
Aside from moral arguments, the central complaint posed was that the system was absolutely not worth the cost, particularly during a time of intense public austerity cuts.
In the following exclusive video, you’ll be able to see the protest in action and hear all of the most important speeches from the base of Nelson’s Column:
