Armed Forces’ Day 2020
The motion
That the Parliament notes Armed Forces’ Day 2020, which will be marked on 27 June; supports all members of the Armed Forces and recognises the sacrifices that they make; believes however that the Armed Forces have been used on numerous occasions by successive UK administrations to take part in what it considers to have been unjust conflicts; expresses its opposition to nuclear weapons and the UK Government’s storing of these in Scotland; believes that some people reportedly use Armed Forces’ Day to celebrate military might and power and for the promotion of what it considers to be an unhealthy British nationalism, and promotes negotiation and peace-making as the best form of resolving international disputes.
