There's always one on every site tripping folk up for grammatical errors. So my apologies for any future mistakes, I do try.
Exporting peace through green technology
We have at our disposal some highly skilled workers whose task is to develop weapons systems.
Instead of them developing things for war, could we not try something a little different and transparent. Aim for peace not profit.
The Government had a campaign on knife crime, not long ago, reminding youths of the dangers to themselves of carrying knives.
What a pity they couldn't have the forsight when increasing arms export to both Russia and Georgia in the run up to that particular conflict.
The late Robin Cook talked of an ethical foreign policy, stopping the production and export of arms would be a big step in that direction.
Some would argue about job losses but if you took that to it's logical conclusion, war would be good.
