Unite members make many of these weapons that are being sold to Saudi Arabia. A 2 week strike at the BAE factory in Warton could probably end the war in Yemen, as the Typhoons would run out of spare parts

To sell weapons to a regime knowing they will use them to kill civilians is an international crime. The UK government willingly & knowingly recommenced this crime last week when they restarted arms sales to Saudi Arabia. These weapons are used to murder civilians in Yemen.
