George Orwell said we must continually repeat the obvious. That need was never more urgent than it is today. It is obvious that killing people is not a way to a peaceful world. It is obvious that war is a totally discredited way of resolving disputes. Countless millions of citizens round the world know this.
This government has the citizens of Britain fighting two vicious and vacuous wars. It has committed us to spending billions of pounds on renewing our Trident Armageddon machines thereby illustrating that, in order to strut their inflated egos on the world stage, our leaders are prepared to put at risk the survival, not only of the people of Britain, but of the human race.
Our task is to find and elect politicians whose focus is peace, not power.
