England takes the first step to a true non-proliferation act

Could it be that after more than 50 years of living under a shadow, that we may finally see some real progress? That we might finally achieve a position that is not hypocritical when demanding other nations cease to acquire nuclear technology for themselves?

I'm not holding my breath, but I can hope.

Let this be a journey of hope in which hard-headed cooperation by friends who were once foes defines our modern age, underpinned by a new covenant of hope that brings us a truly global society not of enemies fearful of each other but of partners with the confidence to work together.
