Reading the article that has been produced by a young
person who realises that some 71 years ago a World War ended. This war was
supposed to be the war to end all wars. Unfortunately, our politicians (of
various political persuasions) have interfered in other Countries political
problems.

We should have kept our political ideas for these
countries to ourselves. Interference in matter that does not concern us can
only lead to conflict.

On the stance of whether nuclear defence is required as a
deterrent against attack on the United Kingdom. I am from the old school, and
while my opinion may or may not be in line with today’s youngsters. However, I am of the opinion that I would
rather enter the arena with both arms free, rather than one arm tied behind
me.

Reading What Andrew’s believes as given me something to
dwell on do we need to spend all those billions on creating a greater
destructive device. When the current version is a deterrent.

In the current political world stage a ban is highly unlikely to happen, and that’s a shame.

A fair cop, Leon. I stand corrected.

In reply to Tim Mann.

Er..
No.

See, there treaties which ban making and testing nuclear weapons. Countries chose to be a party to those treaties.

Iran is a party to them.
Israel is not.

There is a massive, massive difference.

In reply to Julia. No, you should be ashamed for falling for the Tory line of refusal to invest in Britain's future.

Leon Wolfeson – Yes! Then we can look Iran, Israel, et al in the face with, for once in our lives, the moral high hand!

“A country of Foodbanks defended by nukes”
Labour should be ashamed of their support for the Trident replacement.

Great, so let’s get UNSC reform done so we can look at nuclear disarmament!
In that order.
