Tom Unterrainer
Tom is the chair of the UK Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). His role in the country (the UK) which will be building the next generation of AUKUS submarines which will eventually arrive in this country around 2040’s or 2050’s is extremely important to us. We want to forge a relationship with people in the UK who oppose this AUKUS madness. We want the peoples of both our countries to see that spending the huge sums on submarines will make both countries not more secure but poorer with huge social problems.
