Just been listening to an interview with Emily Thornbury on BBC Breakfast on the subject of defence, since it appears she may be in line for the role of shadow defence secretary. She reckons we shouldn't have nuclear weapons because using them would "be killing women and children". I see she's not too bothered about men being killed by that's no surprise is it. Anyway, nuclear weapons aside I'm not sure many wars have been fought in which women and children weren't killed so I wonder what our armed forces would look like in her world.
