Are you worried about your pension?

Northumberland Council have been exposed in the act of investing their pension scheme in 15 of the world's largest arms manufacturers. Companies benefiting from this investment include fighter aircraft designer Northrop Grumman, the VT Group (one of the world's largest warship manufacturers) and US oil-giant Halliburton. The fund also holds an £82,000 investment in Lockheed Martin, arguably the world's largest nuclear weapons manufacturer. This is disgusting to me, as a resident of so-called 'Nuclear Free' Northumberland.
