Excellent proposal and I eill happily invest in these bonds when/if they’re announced. We need to rapidly build up capacity. Not just bodies in the army but ammunition factories, logistics, cyber capabilities and undersea defense.

Any way to guarantee these bonds won’t just fund 20bn quid worth of Palantir contracts?

How do I know if my missile in particular has been used? Do I buy it as an individual item or more like a fund where I own a little bit of each missile and I’m party responsible when Isreal uses it to blow up a school?

If they’re anything like the green bonds, they will pay below even easy access saver accounts

Please fund our war mongering ways. If we wasn’t giving money away left right and center maybe you could pay for it yourselves

What would be the advantage over offering normal bonds? Presumably they’re not going to have a condition where they only start paying back after the war, because we’re not at war. And neither would you draw the same sort of “rally around the flag” interest in them as historical war bond issues since, again, we’re not at war.

As soon as the government lowers my taxes, I’ll actually have some money to buy some

Guarantee we only source locally and my wallet is open

How would I find out if the bullet I adopted slotted a palestian kid? Or caused some terrorist to be horribly mutilated for life? Or how the missile I bought a jacket for was being used to killing terrorist loving civilians? Is there going to be like a live real time tracker? Why should I invest in this? What would be annual rate of return? Are we talking 8-10%?

This really doesn’t make any sense. The government can raise money at really low rates anyway. So either this will be more expensive for the government or pointless.
It looks like it will be at the same rate as they can get money anyway, so that makes no sense at all. If the government wants money to invest they can get it just like that, there is no need to waste money setting up these separate war bonds.
>Under his party’s plan, members of the public could loan the government money in the form of a bond which would run over a two-to-three year period and pay out the same interest as standard government bonds.
