In war zones across the world, child soldiers are forced to carry heavy weapons that are designed for adults. These cause them chronic back pain, headaches and serious joint problems. Thanks to lobbying by The Druid’s Loom, the British arms industry will soon be required to offer a choice of child-friendly weapons.
Dinky
The government has agreed to tackle the issue on two fronts. Firstly, manufacturers will be compelled to provide a range of fun-to-use dinky weapons that are reduced in size and weight.
Secondly, a raft of seductive tax concessions will encourage the arms trade to adopt our ethical ‘smiley face’ logo.
Thank You
Julian Shyster, CEO of Ballistic and Shyster, told The Druid’s Loom:
“I am absolutely delighted with The Loom’s ethical approach to child soldiering. Using children to fight in wars is truly ghastly. But here at Ballistic and Shyster we believe in choice. We dream of a day when no child will be forced to fight in a war against their will. Until that day comes, B.S. is determined to provide them with cute weapons in a range of fun colours; weapons that are free from high velocity recoil and hard-to-reach triggers.”
“Thank you, Druid’s Loom for making the government see sense and for putting children first!”, he added.
