Peter McKennaLiverpool• The British government has rightly been appalled at the use of chemical weapons in Syria. All three countries and Russia claim not to possess any chemical weapons and all are bound by treaty not to do so. Yet all those countries are proud possessors of a nuclear arsenal, weapons of mass destruction incomparably more hideous than chemical weapons, and seem totally unable to see their own immense hypocrisy. That is to open our doors and homes to as many refugees from the countries that the UK has fought over, or armed, or both, as we can.
