| Only just seen the PM's speech to the nation regarding the Syrian attack.
It was cringeworthy at best.
Reminded me of Blair at his most insincere.
Yuk!
Blair = Looked demented with them gleaming eyes and mangled up mouth smile.
May = Looks and sounds totally neurotic to me. She could burst into tears and have a mental breakdown at any given moment.

You don't buy it in gas form. It is illegal to transport chlorine gas in a number of countries, though that probably wouldn't bother Assad too much. It has to be pressurised & cooled for storage & transportation in liquid form. So look next to the yoghurts.

The general consensus based on initial evidence seems to be that chlorine and sarin were both used in the attack. Chlorine is a chemical weapon - a 'choking agent'. Sarin, as I'm sure you're aware, is a nerve agent. Use of both are illegal according to international law - the Geneva Protocol of 1925 and the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention.
Chlorine attacks - normally via barrel bomb - are not uncommon in Syria, however they have been largely ignored as chlorine is a common chemical and cannot therefore be easily regulated or traced, and because it requires higher concentrations and longer exposure it tends to injure rather than kill. The relatively high number of deaths and indeed the symptoms of many victims on this occasion point to a nerve agent.
I'm sure Assad could ultimately still produce and use sarin in the future. However, by destroying existing production and storage facilities we damage his ability to do so. It also sends a message to him and his Russian cronies that they cannot act with impunity.
Going to the UN is utterly pointless as Russia vetoes everything. That's why Corbyn's hand-wringing is nothing but empty words. Nothing will change the fact Assad will win this war, but if the international community sits back and ignores sarin attacks a very dangerous precedent is being set. The strong international reaction to the Salisbury attack shows just how seriously nerve agent attacks are viewed.
FFS, when the French are leading the charge you know there must be a strong case.

| I'm not sure she's the worst Prime Minister, but she has to be the worst dancer!
Why didn't she just politely decline instead of doing that ridiculous "thing"
She needs to stop going on flights of fancy & concentrate on the job in hand, or we'll end up been taken down the ultra-right wing path by default.

Her dancing has to be THE highlight of her tenure as PM of the UK, hilarious.
As for leadership, she is still to demonstrate ANY. Her party is in chaos, the country, whilst not sinking, has almost zero growth and Brexit is just lurching along, totally directionless and we will be left either with "no deal" or a sham of a deal.
She and her party should have decided 2 years ago where they were aiming but, instead, in order to prevent a total split, she and the Tories have done nothing to help the country.
It's just a good job that the world economy is growing, albeit at a far quicker rate than the UK.

| More dancing yesterday to cause distraction from the full house of troubles this government has caused us..... I read in last weeks FT (I think Tues 25 Sept) from an authoritative expert that on the last 3 occasions the £GBP has dropped to it's lowest level it has been the day immediately after a Theresa May Brexit speech. The FTSE was also affected. So I put it to the test today (4 Oct) and the FTSE has dropped and the £GBP dropped yesterday afternoon but has fortunately recovered today because the Italians have decided to try their luck in their latest budget which has had a massive knock on effect for the rest of Europe. Therefore in summary, when Theresa May opens her mouth Britains economy suffers greatly the next day and weeks following....The same analyst also suggested the top 250 - 350 UK companies are undervalued by 20% compared to similar companies in other countries because of complete incompetence of the brexit negotiations. Again I put this to the test and invested my money overseas and saw better results almost instantly. None of this economic impact has been reported in the tabloid press, I wonder why..?....

The lack of attention given to this serial failure amazes me - he is quite clearly an incompetent dullard, with a catalogue of disasters in his ministerial back catalogue; the total dismantling of the legal aid system being probably the most serious. If he was a Labour MP, the news wires would be buzzing with damning stories about his private, personal and professional life.
But I guess if he prefers Heinz beans and isn't black, he gets a free pass.

In a village full of idiots, Chris Grayling would still be the village idiot.

| I'm not sure about the worst P.M. she's got a lot of competition, but she has to be the worst dressed!
The ensemble she wore in Brussels last week was horrendous!
Suppose she could be fitted in the finest haute couture yet she'd still look like a five amp.
