We added a windfall tax to the profits of energy companies whose profits soared due to the Ukraine invasion. Shouldn't we do the same to the armaments industries who have profited from the conflict?

@EugeneMcParland It's manufactured by BAE Systems Land & Armaments. I would dearly like to know which of our politicians have invested in this firm.
I'm not against supporting Ukraine but no one should be allowed to profit from weapons designed to kill people.

The cost of giving a triple-lock-style commitment PLUS an annual negotiated wage increase would hurt BUT applying a windfall tax to armaments industries could pay for some of it. BAE industries profits have risen 21% since the Ukraine conflict started, other armaments industries worldwide have also benefited https://leftfootforward.org/2022/02/arms-companies-look-to-profit-from-ukraine-conflict/

The war in Ukraine isn't about border issues or freedom from oppression. It's about profit. It's about boosting the profits of a declining arms industry. It's about making the rich in the world richer while people die through war, hunger and cold across the world. #MerchantsOfDeath
