Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

He'll be posting McCartneys 'Give Ireland back to the Irish next :0)

yes, i will grant that you did eventually get round to answering that one
at least the first part was relevant, though i fail to see what if any of that action would really have much effect .....

whether targeted bombing and other hardcore stuff will have meaningful effect remains to be seen
certainly the french horror would have happened, and ditto that in mali ..... however, i am very glad indeed that at least most of those bastards were despatched to enjoy their virgins ..... with luck, those who were captured alive will have some good stories to tell

=============

re UN and uk's contribution therein .... you now revert to total twaddle

I can see all the answers but i can't see what your answering as i squelched Fred a week ago , no more huge cartoons and garbage .

Same here. I filtered Fred a long while ago. I just keep seeing people complaining about him. If they stopped moaning about him then it would be much better.

We know you have no interest as already established but some on here do, so for us you can and must in the public interest find out those answers, come on I have to leave to appear on Mastermind at 8 pm tonight soon.

Vote for JB, Hays and exposure to free expression.

Don't believe in a God.

Believe in the party, as long as it is the con party, denying other possibilities which don't satisfy your wishes.

A bit of a blinkered outlook.

But of course, you are entitled to do so, at the moment.

Is that the smell of hypocrisy in the air

The Labour MP John Woodcock has asked Jeremy Corbyn to give MPs “the same individual freedom and responsibility he demanded for himself as a backbencher” after comments by the Labour leader from 2013 emerged calling for a free vote on military action in Syria.

Corbyn repeated on Thursday that he would not allow a free vote on extending air strikes from Iraq to Syria, despite calls from backbenchers to allow MPs to vote against party policy. The shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, has previously said that the issue of airstrikes in Syria should be left to a free vote “on the basis of conscience”.

Speaking in parliament in 2013, during a debate to mark the 10th anniversary of the war in Iraq, Corbyn said that “on something so fundamental as the deployment of armed forces, a free vote is the right thing to do”.

The Labour leader, who was a backbencher at the time of the debate, said there needed to be a vote in parliament before any armed forces were sent to Syria. “Some people think that whipping, lobbying and pressure are the only things that matter in politics, but, quite honestly, we are sent here as representatives of our constituencies,” said Corbyn.

“We all have a conscience that we have to live with and decisions that we have to take. At the end of the day, an MP cannot blame anyone else; it is his or her own decision and vote, and the record will stand.”

The Green party MP, Caroline Lucas, asked Corbyn if he agreed that MPs “need to be voting from our conscience, not from the whips’ list?”

“Absolutely,” responded Corbyn. “On something so fundamental as the deployment of armed forces, a free vote is the right thing to do. Many have said it is easy to send other people’s sons and daughters off to die and then hide behind a veneer of party loyalty, but the issue is much bigger than that.”

It didn't take long for Corby to turn into a hypocrite.....and join the club.

Hays - He's fooling no one. Utter disgrace to the Labour Party.

Interestingly the article was in the Guardian. Every day now there are several anti Corbyn items. There was a time not long ago when a Labour leader could do no wrong in the eyes of the Guardian no matter how stupid they were.

Never mind the muck slinging just answer these questions

Who cares? The public certainly won't.

I must say the UN are on the ball, hope they sort it out in the next 50 years .

I would have thought it time that the UK opts out of the UN and goes it alone.

Too many rules and legislation. Bloody waste of money. Don't get enough out of it.

The British people don't want it.

We need devolution down to street level.

Get rid of taxation.

Best job ever for Alf/Bamber!

You get to mess about, have sex, take drugs and alcohol AND YOU GET PAID FOR IT. At last, after 30 years on the dole, I can see a career for him... undercover police officer.

Britain poised for Syria air strikes after Labour revolt against Jeremy Corbyn

Up to 60 Labour MPs could back military intervention in Syria in defiance of Jeremy Corbyn on the basis of a UN resolution calling for "combat by all means" to be used to wipe out Isil

Britain is poised to join air strikes against Isil in Syria after senior Labour MPs publicly defied Jeremy Corbyn and pledged cross-party support for international action in the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks.

Hilary Benn, the shadow foreign secretary, welcomed a UN security council resolution - passed on Friday night - calling for "combat by all means" to be used to wipe out Isil. The resolution was passed unanimously at the UN last night.

David Cameron called the unanimous UN decision an “important moment”. He said he would build the case for air strikes in Syria, adding that Britain “cannot expect others to shoulder the burdens and risks of protecting this country”.

He said: “The international community has come together and has resolved to defeat this evil, which threatens people of every country and every religion. Today’s vote shows beyond doubt the breadth of international support for doing more in Syria and for decisive action to eradicate Isil.”

France announced after the vote that it was tripling attacks against Isil in Syria, with air strikes launched from the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. “This text is a call for international mobilisation,” said François Delattre, France’s ambassador to the UN.

Labour insiders said that the resolution, reinforced by Friday night's vote, is likely to be enough to convince as many as 60 Labour MPs of the need to extend RAF air strikes to Syria - something which would boost David Cameron's chances of passing a vote in the Commons.

Shadow cabinet ministers say that military intervention is even more likely after the party's own legal advice suggested that there is a "sound basis" for air strikes even without the UN approval.

Mr Corbyn looked increasingly isolated after Labour MPs used a series of broadcasts to defy their leader over his shambolic security strategy in what looked like an organised coup.

Liz Kendall, a former Labour leadership contender, said he had failed "to rise to the challenge" posed by the Paris terror attacks.

One shadow minister said that the week has demonstrated that Mr Corbyn is "unelectable" and is likely to be forced out as Labour leader before the election in 2020.

He said: "The worrying thing is that the Labour Party is being painted as untrustworthy on on national security and defence. If you are not trusted on that, you are unelectable.

"The last election they didn't trust us on the economy, now they don't trust us to keep them safe."

Just spill the beans H/S.

Once again the left is obsessed with the wrong things!

Don't change the subject, just spill the beans.
