Mutinous Crew

The Sunday Times reported at the weekend that half of Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet are prepared, in principle, to support air strikes on the fascist murderers in Syria who call themselves the Islamic State (IS).

Now that has to be progress even if the UK Government has still to explain what this kind of limited military action is likely to achieve, but as things stand it makes no sense to be able to mount targeted air strikes in Iraq but not in neighbouring Syria, especially as IS care not a jot for international boundaries. 

So while Labour MPs may rebel against their new leader it comes down to doing the right thing and being prepared to take action against a band of Islamist fanatics who are enslaving fellow human beings and murdering innocent people for fun.
