Where is threat?

SO Gordon Brown wants to spend billions on defence.

Are we being threatened? Because if we are it’s wretched politicians who are causing us to be threatened.

Half the world’s starving, a lot at war, we have a global warming, we’re in the grip of a recession and they’re spending more on defence.

Why don’t they spend this money on eradicating starvation, making the desert fertile, cleaning up after the disasters. Have these people no vision?

It’s about time we had politicians like Michael Foot or Tony Benn in power; at least they were men of peace.
