Give public option to opt out of taxes supporting British military operations

Closed 253 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to provide the option for the public to opt out of their tax money from being used to support any overseas operations conducted by the British military. This should be through the HMRC account.
This includes assistance and training to foreign troops. This does not include defence of British territories.

The UK was involved in wars which we believe it should not have been involved in, and we do not support many actions of the British military.

We don't want to fund wars with our money.
