Unfortunately may is a weak prime minister. She is definitely not a conservative, she is following on in Cameron’s footsteps. He was a big fan of Blair, so converted the tories into a European style socialist democrat party. She has carried on with this theme. Remember as Home Secretary she virtually abolished stop and search. Part of the knife crime carnage in London is down to her weakness. Not forgetting citizen khans woeful term as London mayor. Both main political parties are weak and have cornered the market in dimwits. The majority seem to be in the Labour Party. Heaven help this country if jezza and his Trotsky/Marx comrades come to power. Jus remember what Winston Churchill said of socialism “ it’s a philosophy of failure the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy. It’s inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery “

I also remember what he said about the Conservatives. "A party of great vested interests, banded together in a formidable confederation, corruption at home, aggression to cover it up abroad...sentiment by the bucketful, patriotism by the imperial pint, the open hand at the public exchequer, the open door at the public house, dear food for the millions, cheap labour for the millionaire."

So it looks like May maybe taking us to war with Syria without consulting parliament. I have a feeling this may end up being more of an Iraq than a Falklands or Kosovo. Surely, we should wait until we heat the evidence that a chemical attack has been carried out, especially after the last one was proven to be false.

I hope she sees sense. Russia would utterly destroy us in a war.

And please, before someone links some daily mail propoganda about Russia’s ageing aircraft carrier fleet, just don’t and actually do your own research

BBC breakfast news presenter getting made to look like a right idiot by the former ambassador to Syria. It’s absolutely glorious!

Thank god for people like him

Ramping up the level of conflict in Syria, against Russia and without any parliamentary debate is just lunacy.
Eventually we will always follow the US, the price that we have to pay to maintain the "special relationship" but, to start launching missiles at Assaad is futile, it wont achieve anything and it will change nothing, just like the last time.

It's fine bombing Arab countries several thousand miles away who have no chance of direct retaliation, but should one Russian be killed in those bombings then we are in a whole new, terrifying ball game.

Ah the good old tried and tested link to the daily mail. Wonderful keep up the good work.

By 'us', you presumably mean NATO?

ah right, I think the rest of the world must be fairly sure if moving so much "kit" to the area.

I can't say I agree that it's our responsibility, and question just what the UN is for, it's always UK and US that take action.

It still doesn't sit right with me though - why would Assad do it now? Trump announced he was to withdraw from the area, he's clearly winning the war vs the rebels, he'd have to be a complete imbecile to carry out that attack now.



I agree to an extent, although we've been meddling in the region for 100 years, so we have to take some responsibility to try and fix it. I'm not sure dropping more bombs right now will fix anything though.

people tested positive for Sarin, so it was proven.

We've been meddling in things since 1095, if not earlier...

True. I just don't get why he'd decide to use it now. As I say, he must be a fkn idiot.




I was referring to more modern times since the Sykes-Picot, but you are indeed correct.
