Well said DMcG.   I also thought Benn's speech was short on facts and brim full of emotional rhetoric.

Of course this had nothing to do with saving lives and everything to do with Mr Benn's bid to save the Labour Party from socialism under his leadership.
The whole sorry mess is about constructing a political coalition to oppose Russia and the Assad regime when the time comes.

Its Iraq and Libya all over again.....how fucking stupid are we to continually vote for this circus....the weeping mp's, the crocodile tears, the rhetoric straight out of some bloody TV soap opera.

Will we ever grow up and realise what the bastards are doing to us?
