Theresa May spoke on
the steps of 10 Downing Street on Tuesday morning telling the nation: “All acts
of terrorism are cowardly attacks on innocent people.” She stressed he abhorrence
at the deliberate “targeting of innocent, defenceless children and young people.”
I agree with her.
But Mrs May, during the
current election campaign, bluntly said she would press the button to launch
British nuclear weapons. Her defence secretary, Sir Michael Fallon, went one
mad step further, saying he would support a nuclear first strike.
If the respect by the prime
minister for the families of the injured and those grieving for the loss of
life of at least 22 young people in Manchester is to be really sincere, Mrs May
and her defence secretary should withdraw their pledge to use nuclear weapons.
They are totally
indiscriminate, and if launched, could kill not 22 people, but immolate and
incinerate 220,000 children and adults, with millions injured and maimed.
