...Re: emailing my local mp, about Trident renewal;<br /><br />Dear Jim<br /><br />Thank you for your email regarding Labour’s position on the UK’s nuclear deterrent.<br /><br />Like you, I want to see a world free of nuclear weapons, and the Labour Party recognises the importance of Britain leading international efforts for multilateral nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. The last Labour Government was the first Government of a nuclear power to call for an end to nuclear weapons, leading directly to the establishment of the Global Zero campaign.<br /><br />My personal views have been well documented, as has my support for CND.<br /><br />On Tuesday, I was in Aberdeen alongside the Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls, Scottish Labour Leader, Jim Murphy, and Shadow Energy Minister, Tom Greatrex, making the case for urgent action to support Scotland's oil and gas industry. As I am sure you are aware, hundreds of jobs have already been lost and thousands more are at risk, many of them in industry supply chains stretching across Scotland, including in our local area.<br /><br />If adopted, our Oil Industry Roadmap will safeguard the future of Scotland's Oil and Gas industry, and with it the jobs and wages of thousands of Scottish workers and their families. I hope, therefore, that both the UK and Scottish Governments will respond positively to our call for urgent action.<br /><br />I appreciate that you have strong views on this matter. However, I am sure you will also appreciate that I represent many constituents whose jobs are currently at risk.<br /><br />Yours sincerely<br /><br />Cathy Jamieson MP <br /><br />I never knew I could read weasel.<br />.jimnarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231790902689695587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-69767555561245193962015-01-21T16:58:44.231+00:002015-01-21T16:58:44.231+00:00tris
This true story was told to Dr Carol Cohn so...tris<br /><br />This true story was told to Dr Carol Cohn some years ago by what she described as a white male physicist who was part of a group of American nuclear strategists: “’Several colleagues and I were working on modelling counterforce nuclear attacks, trying to get realistic estimates of the number of immediate fatalities that would result from different deployments. At one point, we re-modelled a particular attack, using slightly different assumptions, and found that instead of there being 36 million immediate fatalities, there would only be 30 million. And everybody was sitting around nodding, saying, ‘Oh yeh, that’s great, only 30 million,’ when all of a sudden, I heard what we were saying. And I blurted out, ‘Wait, I’ve just heard how we’re talking – Only 30 million! Only 30 million human beings killed instantly?’ Silence fell upon the room. Nobody said a word. They didn’t even look at me. It was awful. I felt like a woman.’ The physicist added that henceforth he was careful never to blurt out anything like that again.<br /><br />I felt like a woman.’ ” <br /><br />That the answer you and the others are all wimmin and we are all MENNikostratoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581441869560921339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-54306231181081039612015-01-21T12:02:00.784+00:002015-01-21T12:02:00.784+00:00Oh Dear, just as well that my Dad is no longer her...Oh Dear, just as well that my Dad is no longer here, because he was a very reluctant Dad's Army type during the war, being that he was considered to be in an industry that was needed.

I can't fathom how we could get to the 21st century, with all the sophistication that entails, and still need to kill each other like savages when we disagree about something.<br /><br />To be able to wipe out millions of people with one missile seems to me to be an ignoble boast. Surely there is something these days that would be as much of a deterrent, but would not involve ordinary folks' deaths.<br /><br />Of course there are nut jobs around the world adn we have no idea what the likes of Putin might get up to if provoked enough.<br /><br />Actually, it might be an idea not to provoke him too much (Note to King Abdullah.)<br /><br />As you say though, in the end it has never brought me any comfort that, when I am turned into a crisp I can guarantee that somewhere on another part of the globe there will be a few million people heading for the same fate. I'll not be there to see it.<br /><br />The deal is that the people who operate these weapons systems are never going to be the ones that are killed by them. The likes of David Cameron and Liz Saxe Coburg Gotha won;t be hanging about in London waiting to be frazzled.<br /><br />If the West has to have a defence system, and it all the great brains of the world have decided that it must be nuclear, then it seems rather ridiculous that one of the poorer countries in Europe, with low standards of living for the working people, should be among the countries providing it, while far richer countries do not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-26427031005680238512015-01-21T11:08:47.603+00:002015-01-21T11:08:47.603+00:00They take us for fools.

Reading yesterday of another Labour Apparatchiks involvement with the Henry Jackson Society (Ed Ball) I wonder how the likes of Kim Philby and Co, who wandered off and helped the Soviet Union were described as Traitors whilst those who are obviously in the pay of the United States are not. I though you were regarded as a traitor if you sold your country to another?<br />I shall laugh my head off if someone says Labour sent it's brightest and best to Westminster, with the likes of Brian Donohoe, how can they have.

That scum of a party can't and wont change and if there are any decent members left then they should be joining the SSP. McGovern did not turn up yesterday, again, I tweeted him but not waiting for a reply. He is a part of the problem and an expense grabbing expensive one at that.
