Dear Mr Cameron,
The First World War (WWI) was called ‘the war to end all wars’. The Second World War (WWII) gave us the supreme international crime, ‘wars of aggression’, since when such wars have become the preferred war of choice of western powers.
Doing a Google search I came up with, ‘Since the end of the Second World War in 1945 there have been some 250 major wars in which over 50 million people have been killed, tens of millions made homeless, and countless millions injured and bereaved’.
If I attempted to dispute those figures it would only be because we’re still counting.
We count debt, Britain’s debt is £1.5 trillion and counting, but where is the same running debt count of war?
Make no mistake, wars are debt, exacted by the few at the expense of the many, for which the living pay the price (just like money and profit, oddly enough).
Wars are the obscene price that the living pay for our existence on Earth.
When will we realise that war is insane?
Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity. Please explain.
Senior figures in the Parliamentary Labour Party are seeking legal advice on how to unseat Jeremy Corbyn for his opposition to war, a man who enjoys an overwhelming public democratic mandate, which includes my vote.
There doesn’t seem to be any democratic room for sense amongst the senseless.
