Denis Healey is awesome

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just listened to Denis being interviewed on the Today program saying that, when he was Secretary of State for Defence, even if the UK was being attacked with nuclear weapons he would never have "pushed the button" to launch a nuclear response as "most of the people who died would have been innocent".

A wonderful piece of candour.


Addition:

The Guardian editorialised on this.
