Your reminder that George Robertson is not a neutral, objective observer. In the last 12 months he has taken money from a US company with links to the military and been a paid speaker for Canadian defence contractors; he is also a shareholder in a Glasgow-based weapons manufacturer.
Sadly, I've not seen that conflict of interests mentioned in ANY of the media reports, and nor have I seen any airtime being given to peace organisations or others who might want to put the (perfectly reasonable and coherent) case AGAINST greater military spending.
GEORGE ROBERTSON has said the quiet part out loud. Normally Labour’s pimps for the military-industrial complex, from Paul Mason to John Healey, like to pretend that a burgeoning arms bill need not mean any suffering for British working people.
