AFTER a life-time of meeting with and working with, good people, I find it odd that I have to be labelled a ‘pacifist’, a member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament As a very ordinary person – not a goodie-goodie – I have never felt the need to carry a gun.

Of course, the people who manufacture armaments are the backbone of the economy. They are gainfully employed.

Without them, the money system would collapse.
