Stop the proposed cuts to armed forces wages

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

In a bid to save more money, proposals have been announced that will stop annual pay increases for service personnel.
After attacking tax credits, forces pensions and manning, it seems they want to reduce financial security as well as our countrys security.
Lets put an end to this madness, it is time to unite in order to show this shambolic, deceptive government that it needs to look elsewhere to save money.

MPs just received an extra £8,940 a year.

The government would make more money if it took a real stance against tax avoidance among corporations and the financial sector.
