Lambeth Pension Funds Helping Pay Dick Cheney's Salary

A Green Party investigation reveals that Lambeth Council's pension fund holds £3,749,426.56 worth of stocks in companies that manufacture weapons, including Dick Cheney's Iraq war profiteer Halliburton. This equates to just .5% of the council's assets, and so it would cost almost nothing to reinvest this money elsewhere.
