MINISTERS were condemned today for putting an extra £1.1 million into armed forces cadet units in English schools after a decade of heavy cuts to other youth services.
The government has already ploughed more than £50 million into creating new school-cadet forces since 2016, the Peace Pledge Union (PPU) said.
However, youth services across Britain were cut by over £400 million between 2010 and 2019, according to research by Unison.
The new £1.1 million for extra staffing in existing cadet units is the latest example of everyday militarism in Britain, the PPU warned.
Recent militaristic government policies include a 44 per cent increase in the upper limit on the number of Britain’s nuclear warheads and the biggest percentage increase in military spending since the Korean War.
