Should we bomb De-ash/ISIS in Syria?

Yes, the Tories had the whip, whitewave.

I would give you a link to the missiles to be used, roseq, but you'd only complain.
The only countries that have them are the UK and Saudi Arabia.

rq I'm not sure if Putin knows what compromise means. He's a seriously scary guy.

Luckygirl, yes feel sick and sad, for DDs and GCs

The anti war groups held a minute's silence outside parliament after the vote.

Russia wants IS defeated. What they mean is that Russia will not be helping to defeat IS as they have a different agenda (quelling all the rebels and giving power back to Assad.

DJ They have certainly given plenty warning to Daesh who will be off in their four tracks leaving innocent civilians to the bombers. I couldn't contain myself when DC was saying it was essential to bomb Raqqa to knock out Daesh's communications. I was shouting at the TV 'Have you never heard of lap tops?' Are we supposed to believe that Daesh have a big building called the command centre where all their senior personnel sit at one giant mainframe computer?

If DC and his buddies had repeated once more that there have been 7 failed terrorist attacks in Britain in recent months I would have been reduced to a screaming wreck. This is allegedly not a police state so - Where were the attacks planned to take place? When? How many Terrorists are in Custody? Have they been charged? When will they be tried? I am afraid I give as much credence to this 'needs to be top secret' assertion as I did to Tony Blairs WMD due to reach us in 30minutes.

As to the accusations of virtue signalling, I can only say that I am genuinely distraught and fear that this country has just made one of the biggest mistakes in its history. Are those who fling that label at 'other's' posts realise that they are admitting that the 'others' actually hold the moral high ground (but are only doing so in order to make themselves look good of course.)

I can see so much potential for trouble

Whisper "what's virtual Signalling"?

Oh! virtue signalling - whisper I still don't know what it means

It's what we do all the time, whitewave, when we stick up for the poor and the homeless, and tell people we do.

Oh what are we supposed to do then?

whitewave ,it stopped raining tonight , my candle stayed lit.

Well vote went as expected. Now the mayhem starts , those who supported the bombing , MP's and public , wonder how many will spare a thought for the children we are going to kill in Syria ,perhaps as soon as tonight .

Whisper "what's virtual Signalling"?
There was a thread about it a while ago but I have instantly forgotten.
I tend to forget things that are not necessary these days (and a lot else too).

Yes, Granny23, I have never understood why nobody has challenged him on that figure of seven failed terrorist attacks.

This morning when I took my granddaughter to school, there were two civil support officers outside the school, dressed in smart black uniforms with hats and holsters for their mobiles on their belts.
My grandson was convinced they had guns. Had a hard job convincing him that they did not have guns and were not allowed to carry guns just outside a school to stop drivers parking in the wrong places. They definitely looked more scary than traffic wardens.

Thought about you annie

whitewave I had to Google it and I think it means voicing a view that makes you seem like a nice person. I must now be the Queen of Virtue Signalling.

Your post 23.17

Abid Naseer is one , or are you discounting him for some reason?

He was also wanted in America so he was sentenced there and jailed for 40 years last week.

He had planned a terror attack on the ARNDALE CENTRE MANCHESTER, fortunately he obviously failed.

Welcome back, Annie. The anti-war group outside parliament joined you in thought and silence.
Agree with you about the rest.

Never heard of Civil Support Officers dj. Are they like Neighbourhood Wardens or Community Support Officers?

You sound very nice to me, Wilma.

Oh! Why can't we just take ea h other at face value- virtual of course.

It is so much more civilised and kindly.

Thought about you with your candle AnnieBach

Yes. I thought they were Community Support Officers, and I've seen a few of those, but these ones definitely had Civil on their shoulders.
Maybe it's just something in Durham.

Hi Jen, yes I heard when I left the vigil the anti war group in London were also doing the same as we did at the same time.

Virtual signalling, whitewave?
