Heeding the voice of conscience: a call to continued action
On 15 May we marked Conscientious Objectors' Day. At one of the ceremonies around Britain, I joined people gathered in Tavistock Square, London to hear music, poetry and testimony in the leafy gardens where the conscientious objection memorial stone rests. We laid flowers for all those who refused to kill. You can watch a recording on the Peace Pledge Union website.

Remembering the victims of all wars
If you were an extra-terrestrial being tuning into the British media in 2022 you would be forgiven for imagining that there was just a single war taking place on planet Earth. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February this year is a catastrophe on many levels and it's right, of course, that we should be informed about what is going on there.

Pacifism and conscientious objection in UK children’s literature
Children's books about war have proliferated since the turn of the century, to the extent that it is now commonplace subject matter. In particular, the two world wars have inspired the largest volume of children's fiction.

Why should we protest against DSEI?
In 2019, when I was 15, I attended a protest against the Defence and Security Equipment International arms fair (DSEI) alongside hundreds of peace activists, many of whom were Quakers. We gathered outside the ExCel centre in London to block the entrance, share art, sing, and hold meetings for worship in remembrance of the countless victims of war.

The human cost of war
The Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) arms fair – one of the world's largest – takes place every two years at the ExCel Centre in East London. Of the 67 countries that were invited to attend in 2019, 55 are named by Human Rights Watch as having committed abuses.

The climate can't afford the cost of war
It is impossible for me to imagine a sustainable society when we are still selling and exporting weapons and hosting large military equipment shows such as the DSEI Arms Fair.

Why I am still a pacifist
I became General Secretary of the Friends World Committee for Consultation in January of 2022, a role of service to the world's 400,000 or so Quakers, who collectively comprise one of the world's traditional peace churches.

Refusing to kill: conscription and conscience
On 24 January, the head of the British army, General Sir Patrick Sanders stated that the country should train a "citizen army" ready to fight a land war in the future. Prompted by the threat from Russia and similar steps being taken by other European nations, he warned that an increase in reserves forces alone would "not be enough", and a future conflict would have to be a "whole-of-nation-undertaking".

The ones who are forgotten on Remembrance Day
It's said that truth is the first victim of war. If that's so, then close on truth's heels is a second victim: the right not to take part in it.

The long-term cost of war: how sending landmines to Ukraine undermines the fight for a mine-free future
After I spoke on the radio back in 2023 about peace and pacifism in the context of the war in Ukraine, I had a Quaker get in touch with me. One problem with war, he said, was its corrupting nature "even on those whose cause, like the Ukrainians, is just". Over time, groups and countries can start to use tactics that they earlier condemned, such as the use of landmines.
