News in Brief

The British peace group Conscience (whose mission is ‘taxes for peace not war’) are preparing again to put forward a bill in the UK parliament for conscientious objection in relation to taxes. It’s five years since their last attempt.

The core purpose of Conscience is to campaign for a change in the law so that UK citizens can conscientiously object to paying the military proportion of their taxes and can opt for the money to go to peaceful purposes instead.

Conscience has also shifted permanently to home working for its staff.
