Tree huggers?

I would even help to load the aircraft.

Don't think there's much call for cannon balls and grappling hooks.

Cameron's two main arguments for the UK joining in the bombing are.
1.It will make the UK a safer place
2.The current alliance needs us to help as we can do things they can't.

Sorry but neither of those are true.

Corbyn's view:-

1. We will do nothing
2. We will do nothing

And if that doesn't work we will do nothing.

Here's one to ponder.....

Bomb all you like.... They are already here in their thousands....

No No No!

Before we illegally started bombing Iraq, killing thousands of innocent civilians (women children etc) a political commentator came on the radio and said something like this: 'there is a marginal terrorist threat, they are small in number and they shouldn't be underestimated. They are fanatics. However, if we start bombing their countries, what happens is that you radicalize the moderates, not the fanatics. The fanatics have already made their mind up but there are thousands of moderates who haven't. They will join the terrorists when bombs start falling on innocent people. They will know people killed in the bombing. If we bomb Iraq, their numbers will grow and before long their bombs will be going off in Europe every other month"


That's exactly what happened. The only way for the slaughter to stop is if we the UK and America governments stop behaving like terrorists.

Our interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya... and those already ongoing in Syria have achieved absolutely nothing in terms of nullifying the 'terrorist' threat, quite the opposite, they have created and exacerbated it. Our cities are less safe, Europe is becoming a dangerous place and British travelers and holiday makers are being targeted abroad as never before.

We need to look beyond the climate of fear, that has been created more by Western governments than by so-called terrorists, to find the real reasons behind 'interventions'. Regime change is and has been the primary objective, getting rid of Saddam Hussain, Gadaffi and Assad, seeking to impose governments more aligned to the west in order to protect oil and gas supplies. The problem is although these people were/are despotic leaders they were strong rulers, removing them has created a void in which every group with a Kalashnikov is seeking to gain control - many supported, trained and armed by UK and US special forces.
