Instead of playing headline politics, he was measured and sane. I cannot tell you how much I wish he was PM. We'd be in so much safer hands. I dread the consequences of Cliche May's pandering to the stupid.

I agree with him too. We dont know for sure if Russia did it or not, and the last thing we need to do is antagonise them!

What would Corbyn actually do ?

I COMPLETELY agree with you. The media have seized on this as a ‘story’ and I couldn’t believe the spin they put on JC’s utterly sensible approach - very much like Macron’s. I like him more and more every day and just wish the dreadful Tory Government would just fuck off and allow the change that most of the nation seem to want. If there was an election today, I’d predict a Labour landslide.

Jonathan King,even you are not daft enough to think the Russians didn't do it,but I don't care,as spies deserve their fate.
You will notice a certain buck teeth old troll agrees with you.

Appeasers are very dangerous people.


Like Brexiteers, they huff and puff, but when the damage is done they will deny every having been responsible.
Just like many in the Labour party distance themselves from anything that Tony Blair did (even though they supported / elected him 3 times !!!!)

In the run-up to the Iraq war the country was split ... 50/50 ... now you cannot find a single person who will admit that he believed Blair's Dodgy Dossier ... lol !

When the full consequences of Brexit finally take hold, they will also disappear into the mist ... and blame everyone else for it !

Just as those who bury their heads over the Russian chemical weapons attack on UK soil, will, when they multiply in their thousands (as they have done in Syria) will all say "why didnt the government do something?"

There's a difference between Appeasers and intelligent behaviour. You are entitled to prefer those nice ISIS rebels over those nice ASSAD killers but Syria, like the UK, might have preferred intelligent solutions.

But the UK does not have any "intelligent solutions" !

The war is now into its 8th year - with absolutely no end in sight.
Do you think those Syrians (the ones who are left and haven't been killed) will feel for supportive of Assad after he has bombed them into submission?

You sound like my old friend Kenny Everett, ITK. Bomb Russia! Knock Michael Foot's stick away! Difference is - he was joking.

.... he may have been joking but he was right !

How can any progress be made in healing these conflicts when the lines of communication remain shut? Everytime dialogue is suggested as the key, out come the usual defence mechanisms with labels such as 'apologist' and 'traitor'.

There have been continuous talks - in Geneva - throughout this period .... Assad ignores them all.
A ceasefire was brokered a few years ago - Assad broke it within hours.

Do you actually know anything about this at all ?

Or is this (yet another) totally uninformed "opinion" ?

They spend more time blaming each other for the atrocities and passing the buck rather than talking and listening.
