    It’s a dangerous road to go down , telling them what they can & cannot invest in. Where do you stop ? Do you ban investing in Aero industries because they make fighter jets as well. Do you stop them investing in alcohol companies ? Drug companies because they overcharge ? Bakery because they use to much sugar ?

    I think it would be reasonable for the government not to be hypocritical in its investments,

    But I do think they need to look up the definition of hypocritical first as it would probably be a new concept for the majority of them.
