I UNDERSTAND that one of Donald Trump’s men, talking about the gas attack on innocent civilians in Syria, said that even the Germans did not use gas.

Does he not know his modern history?

First World War soldiers were gassed in the trenches, in the Second World War millions of Jews died in the gas chambers and, just in case they might have used it in this country, gas masks were given out here.

I remember my parents still having one for a baby, me.

Whoever has done this dreadful thing must have no heart, conscience or pity.

Jesus said “love one another even as I loved you”.

I doubt if any of these hard-faced men understand the meaning of the word love.
