Event 6th August 18:30 all welcome

Hiroshima Day Peace Picnic Charlton House & Gardens 

Charlton House, Charlton Road, London SE7 8RE

 

This year the South East London CND groups (Lewisham and Greenwich, Forest Hill and Sydenham, and Bromley Borough) hope to have our annual "peace picnic" in person rather than on zoom.
So bring food and drink to share on the lawn behind Charlton House. At 7 pm we will adjourn to the Peace Garden for a minute's silence and poetry. There will then be live music whilst we finish the picnic.
If progress of the pandemic means that meeting in person is not possible, we will do a zoom like last year. The photograph above shows last years zoom broadcasting team observing the minute's silence.

The failed Trident test highlights an imbalance in UK defence strategy

Dr Marian Messmer Senior Research Fellow, International Security Programme The primary function of nuclear weapons is to deter war – and specifically nuclear war – between nuclear adversaries. But the Cold War was a different environment to today’s complex security environment, in which most nuclear-armed states have more than one nuclear competitor to deter, and many non-nuclear weapons states possess significant non-nuclear military capabilities.
