You can't criticise Blair's willingness to support intervention abroad (backed at the time by all parties here and by other countries too), but also now praise Cameron for arguing for the same sort of intervention.

Similarly, it is hypocritical to criticise Iran's build-up of nuclear weapons whilst supporting the renewal of Trident here.

Nuclear weapons are safer in our hands.

i did think that boots on the ground would be the only way to get rid of IS but now i'm not so sure now. Going to war would only encourage more to join and die a martyrs death not only there but over here as well

But you can't expect Iran or others to give up their weapons whilst we renew ours.......
And what use are nuclear weapons in circumstances such as last Friday's?

Spend the money saved instead on improving conventional security against much more likely forms of attack, and on bolstering public services without which our country is just a shadow of what it should stand for.

Of course you can. It's how the strong stay strong.

I didn't take money off kids at school because I was skint, I did it to make sure I was always top dog and they knew it.

I'm reading that an "ambulance packed with explosives" was found but how credible that is not sure. Also a threat at a nearby concert.

It's very easy to oppose everything in the comfort of the fact that nothing will affect you personally, just as it is for Camoron to spout his meaningless bullshit about what he wants to do, at the cost of cutting services at home.

Corbyns plan is no secret, in fact it's the same as many on here have mentioned. Cut off the supply of support and funding to IS through Saudi Arabia and the other nations supporting them behind the scenes.

That's a pretty unpleasant admission.......if you mean it.....

Nat should have had her head flushed in the loo a bit more often.

Won't it be a bit of an own goal if you nuke Leeds Boggers?

Not that keen on Yorkshire in general, but there's likely to be collateral damage if you shit in your own back yard.

Sluffy. You're oversimplifying the Muslim sects thing. BTW Russia are propping up the Alawites in Syria even though they're only 15% of the population so that will piss off Iran.

Good luck with your expectations.

I haven't told you my expectations I've told you what Corbyn's policy is - as you claimed it was a secret.

Is that clear enough?

This is now reported in the Telegraph.

If the Telegraph are saying it we can safely assume it's complete and utter bollocks then.
