And, aĺas, blair's before. And they wonder why the disenfranchised turn away from politics or get radicalised. I am not corbyn's grearest fan, but if the new labour group win the battle for the control of labour, then any chance of a political alternative, albeit within the narrow parameters defined by society, has gone for a long, long time. Brother. Right, i'm off to pick up dog shit. Do isis have a secular wing? [Post edited 20 Jan 2016 6:26]

Exactly Been going on for years , and will continue to go on for years , its the way the world works unfortunately , fcuk all we can do about it Cameron is no worse than Blair , who was supplying to Gaddaffi and the like Thatcher was the same we helped arm & train those rebels in Afghanistan to fight the Russians who then became the Taliban, she also helped secure the release of Pinnochet from spain so we could use Chilean runways in the falklands , Churchill was another who had to support the Russians in the second world war even though he knew about their atrocities as you say mate paying the mortgage is more of a worry | ![](/images/avatars/8151.gif) |

The Saudi's are in both sides though aren't they. They're on our side when it comes to putting money in our coffers, but then they openly support, fund & arm the terror groups that we are, even admittedly as a token effort, trying to stop. You have to wonder if in an office somewhere in Downing Street, anyone has ever bothered to see if the revenue from selling arms to the Saudis is more than the cost of military action against the terror groups they pass those arms on to. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It's got little to do with revenue. If IS got its hands on Saudi, someone making a few dollars out of arms deals or the cost of military action against terror groups would be the least of your worries. | ![](/images/avatars/6823.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Quite right about it being the way it has always been PP. My post was in no way a direct dig at the Tories, all the Mainstreamers are the same (which is maybe why I have a little time for Corbyn, he's one leader who may actually not sign up to such genocide). I appreciate you lads may not be so concerned about death over there as us Bleeding Hearts, but what about when all of this gets directly translated into IS recruitment and masses of refugees coming to us looking for a home? http://www.thenation.com/article/yemen-the-worlds-next-great-refugee-crisis/ Seems like a lose, lose, lose to me. | ![](/images/avatars/11235.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The problem you mention in your 2nd paragraph is directly related to us overthrowing dirty regimes rather than supporting them. Look at Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Read the link in my first post Steve, we're supplying the bombs that are creating the next refugee crisis. And as for IS recruitment how about them being told this by " The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and UK-based charity Action on Armed Violence declared that almost two-thirds of all civilian casualties between 1 January and 31 July 2015 have been a direct result of airstrikes. On August 24, the UN special representative of the secretary-general for children and armed conflict said, that the majority (73%) of the hundreds of children killed in Yemen since the escalation of hostilities in late March 2015 were victims of Saudi coalition-led airstrikes. Despite widespread criticism of the high civilian death toll, the U.S. State Department approved a $1.29 billion deal in November for more than 19,000 smart bombs to replenish the Saudi air force’s arsenal. Human rights groups repeatedly blamed the Saudi-led military coalition for killing civilians and destroying health centers and other infrastructure with airstrikes. According to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights “a disproportionate amount” of attacks on civilians appeared to be the result of airstrikes carried out by the Saudi-led military coalition forces. Human Rights Watch criticized the UN Security Council repeatedly for “remaining almost silent on coalition abuses”." As regards situations getting worse, how about we don't allow/encourage/arm the rise of the likes of IS in the first place? [Post edited 20 Jan 2016 11:55]

Contrary to what some think on here Bobby im not a Tory and have never voted for them ( a bit like you and Labour) so I never took it as a dig against them, anyway any innocent killed is a death to many in my book , but ISIS being around and being the bad guys is a political god send for the West , War is money , the peddling of stories on all of these Jihadis and their atrocities only highlights the need for more war, more selling of weapons, the battle for oil, etc , lets face it the yanks & the Russians could wipe out ISIS in an afternoon if they wanted but it pays to keep them around, it pays to keep in with the Saudis its all a political game , if the left protest against war, or the right protest against Muslims or immigration none of it matters the average man or woman cannot win Stevec had it right we are better off worrying if JFH plays 2 up top against Wolves | ![](/images/avatars/8151.gif) |
