After a lengthy Cabinet Meeting yesterday, Prime Minister Theresa May announced that Britain was prepared to join the USA and other countries, in attacks against Bashar al Assad and Syria.
Bashar al Assad has used chemical weapons on several occasions to kill citizens who are opposed to the way he rules his country ! These are blatant "crimes against humanity".
Assad has the benevolent backing of Putin who at present still denies that chemicals were used by Russia in an attempted assassination in Britain of a "turncoat" Russian Spy !
The immediate reaction in Britain was that Theresa May should have awaited the result of a debate in Parliament ! BUT, is this reasonable ? To justify her decision, must she also reveal all her secret details and those of the USA ?
But there could be a debate in the House of Commons and why not also in the House of Lords so that the World learns what the protection of Human Rights means !
Those "for or against" should be heard and explain their reasons ! This could also be a perfect opportunity for Jeremy Corbin to present the Socialist point of view !
