Your readers may not be aware that next week Parliament will decide whether this country should replace its ageing fleet of Trident nuclear submarines with four more updated versions, which will prolong the nuclear arms race for another 50 years.
The question should be asked: do we want our submarines to be cruising around the oceans, loaded with up to 192 nuclear warheads?
The answer must be a resounding no, because if the nuclear button was pressed it would be the start of a nuclear war which would mean the end of the civilised world as we know it.
I ask readers to write to, or phone their MP asking him not to vote on March 14 for the replacement of Trident.
I also urge people to attend the protest rally in Parliament Square between 6pm and 8pm on that date.
