An international pacifist network has handed over five years’ worth of unpaid tax to the UK government – while objecting that their money will fund war.  War Resisters’ International (WRI), whose head office is in London, paid the money ‘under strong protest’ last week. They had resisted paying for as long as possible, doing so only two days before bailiffs were due to carry off their computers.
