You never ever get any sensible comment or input from Christmas.

He makes stuff up then persists in belabouring you over things you have never sent and taking you to task for points of view that you have never espoused. When asked to produce quotes to substantiate his lies, he froths, rages and deflects.

I have a question for him.

If he maintains that Assad must be got rid off and even supports that this be done by force. Can he explain why he reserves such venom for the likes of the EU, the UK and the USA for apparently doing nothing to aid the Syrians, but does he not utter so much as a cheep about the actions of the Russians who are doing absolutely everything they possibly can to keep "this monster" (as Christmas refers to him) in power?

Particularly liked this bit of logic - a pity he does not apply it across the board.

"As there is no recorded sale of oil to Britain by Syria, it is puzzling as to exactly what part they played in the embargo"

Oh you mean much the same as:

"As there is no recorded sale of weapons to Syria by Britain, it is puzzling as to exactly what part they played in the massacre of civilians in Homs"
