Quotations

“We have all been involved in the crime that presents itself as nuclear deterrent. The bottom line is that we will use weapons that are 80 per cent more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, in the case of Trident, as part of the defence policy of this country. . . As a Christian I have never been able to live with that.” (Ilford Recorder, Oct. 31, 2017; photo BBC news)
