Anyone who does Parkrun knows it’s close to non-competitive. I literally couldn’t say who “won” any of the 90+ times I’ve taken part. The Parkrun org should tell these activists to go kick rocks

"We have to make cuts so we can build more bombs".
I think this is bollocks.
Defence spending involves vast amounts of waste.
