Why the terrified gasps at the mere mention of a progressive social policy for the UK? would it mean an end to business and/or trade?... No :/

whats silly about it? how are our industries doing in this brave new world?

What do we do out of interest?... We don't make or build much.

I agree, I also don't see why this decision should lie with only one man or woman either.

I could for myself say now, I would never want to and likely wouldn't press such a button.
Corbyn as PM couldn't do so anyway, even if he wanted to, without first getting the permission of the USA.

This is something that should have a committee to decide, one that involves military hierarchy, MPs of all Parties and Ministers and the PM.

There should have to be majority decision to allow the seeking to press the button from such a committee, and without same, then it could not even be explored.

There is no justifiable reason whatsoever in my view that a man or woman who had such strong principles as to not pressing the button themselves, That they should not be able to become PM of the UK and deal with all that is needed to lead and run the Country as to everything else.
Just as equally there should be no barrier to someone who would press the button becoming PM too.

We cannot even keep them open let alone export them Kizzy looking at all the empty store and shop buildings I have seen on my travels around the UK.

All very well building them, once they cripple business with high rates and energy charges then business just pulls out and we are left with an empty shell standing there.

Maybe he means these glitzy mega malls that are popping up everywhere, maybe that's the fate for the UK as the 'white rose centre' for the rest of the world?

The bottom line for me is this: if Corbyn isn't prepared to carry out his duty to the full, then he has no place running for PM.

I know this:

Even the most hateful of bullies will NEVER attack someone is is likely to punch him back, and the better equipped to fight that the 'someone' is, then the more remote the likelyhood of him ever being attacked.

Bullies prey on the weak and vulnerable and DEFENCELESS.

As for nuclear war - the bomb has not been invented which could destroy an entire country, so it will be a case of multiple bombs, which is why it is so important to have a DETERRENT and a RETALIATORY capability.

Without it the words 'sitting' and 'ducks' should be employed.

Very easy to be negative when you go down the roads and streets I have and see all the empty buildings left to rot that were once thriving businesses and shops.
That in fact were peoples homes too.

Nothing positive really to say or see about that whatsoever in my view.

The odd swallow flying here and there in some places doesn't command a positive ongoing summer.

There are many countries without nuclear missiles, if they are such a target when why are they not at this moment from the 'bullies' Have you ever considered we may actually be a 'bully'?
