No More War
‘War is organised murder and nothing else....politicians who took us to war should have been given the guns and told to settle their differences themselves, instead of organising nothing better than legalised mass murder’
Harry Patch, last surviving British soldier from the First World War (who passed away in 2009, aged 111)
‘It means an awful lot to me, these small gestures are the things that encourage friendship between peoples, so that we will never again fight wars against each other.’
Charles Kuentz, after meeting Patch, 2004

Why don’t we set up a global security force to keep the peace and guard human rights?
Instead of national flags, the UN flag could fly in every barracks and military establishment and we could start repairing all the damage we are still busily causing - though we can never repair all the lives lost or wrecked amid the debris. There is no time to lose. See my websites at
