	Supporters of the CND in its 'first wave' in the 1960s were mainly young/middle-aged (upper) middle class people with intellectual needs, who associated the A-bomb with the old establishment, Empire hierarchies, and class structure which did not fit in with the developments of British society by that time (cf. Session 3 ). The protesters, who were supported by famous intellectuals such as [[E.M. Forster]] and [[Benjamin Britten]], wanted Britain to become a moral power instead of a military one (cf. ibid.).
