New-born babies will die because of the £20bn NHS cuts. Afghan civilians and British soldiers will die because of £20bn spent on the Afghanistan war. Solution: cut the war, stop the cuts.

The cost of just one Storm Shadow missile used by the RAF to bomb Libya -- at £1 million each -- would be enough to take 222 people in Britain out of poverty for a year.

Which do you think is the best investment? asks Brian Eno. A war machine which incurs contempt and hatred everywhere for Britain? Or funding for hospitals, nurses, schools and child-care?

While the cost of war in Libya heads for £2bn, on top of the £5bn the Afghanistan war will cost this year, David Cameron tells us there is no alternative to cutting the NHS, disability benefits and pensions.

Who is going to start attacking the UK any time soon? Iceland, France, Germany? Russia? Peter Preston says, "Give me one believable scenario that makes sense."

A staggering $20 billion dollars a year is what the US military is spending on air conditioning in Iraq and Afghanistan: enough to give every man, woman and child in those countries $333 each.

George Osborne said it would cost tens, not hundreds of millions. Now the defence minister Liam Fox has had tell the truth. The war in Libya in just over two months has cost Britain £260 million.

The cost to the UK taxpayer of bombing Gaddafi for six months is the same as the savings from ending the education maintenance allowance; or three times the amount saved by scrapping the disability living allowance.

Nine weeks of war in Libya will cost £200 million -- the same amount the government aims to "save" by making changes to housing benefit which could force 11,000 disabled people into homelessness.

We were told it would cost "tens, not hundreds of millions", but after two months the war on Libya is already over £100 million, and by September it's likely to top £1 billion.

David Cameron says Britain is so much in debt that welfare benefits to the poorest and most vulnerable in society must be slashed to the bone, but there's still enough to wage foreign wars.

Senators yell about the cost of keeping the unemployed from going hungry, while at the same time shoving enough money to keep benefits going into the money pit of war.
