Should children be used as human shields?

Answer, no. When I was a courier, Oxford St was the worst place for this stuff. I always thought of it as parents using their pushchair as a minesweeper "at least it won't be me that gets hurt".
Fuckwits.

Strangely enough the last one was on Oxford St this evening.

In medieval times you could imagine them getting their children to look over the parapets during a siege.
