Peter, you have been brainwashed into believing that bombs are a good thing. They are not. You think UK should be at the "Top Table" as you put it earlier. IMHO this is bollox. We no longer have an Empire and we can't afford it anyway. Forget Trident and the other white elephants. All it really does it make us a prime target for terrorist attacks. No one is going to attack UK as the Yanks or Israeli's will get there first. Apart from dirty bombs from terrorists. And anyway the Chinese will have taken over in a decade or so (they might be buying Greece in the next few days?)
Sure if someone blew my kids up I would want to do the same to them. Just as if someone raped my daughter I would hunt them down and kill the b,astard as painfully as I could (or pay someone to do it for me). But that doesn't make it right.
Not forgetting that the kids blown up were quite possibly dead because we sold the bombs in the first place.

As far as I am concerned the work we do protects families, protects children and develops technology which benefits mankind and medical advancement.
I do not know the exact reason why the money was returned, I can only guess at some idealogical stance ........ I wish I could say that I respect the stance they are taking, but - I can't since it would have helped a lot of children who need help.
I cannot remember a time when our donation was returned, from anywhere.
I'm shocked, disappointed, annoyed and rather upset to be honest.

I can only imagine that they do have strong feelings against anything associated with your work and have little doubt that I and my associates would be put in the same compartment as yours has been.
It is a shame for those who will miss out, but difficult to change their attitude even if at all possible.

Right, I've made a donation to CHICKS via the Co-Op ... Country Holidays for Inner City Kids.
GOS clearly have enough funds that they can pick and choose which benefactor they wish to take from!
