It was widely reported that Air Strikes helped slow then halt the ISIS advance on Baghdad while the Iraqi army regrouped. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-29408101...

Your arguments are mainly based on unsupported assertions, an obvious bias and appeals to emotion combined with a stubborn (deliberate?) inability to process new information. I see little evidence of 'critical thinking'. The sample size has an effect on it's accuracy but does not invalidate the...

I don't take opinion polls as 'gospel' but I do use them to inform my opinion as the only effective method of assessing public opinion at any given moment. They consistently showed support for air strikes which you find difficult to accept for some reason. If polls had shown public opinion...

You can clearly read but obviously have difficulty in absorbing new information. I'll give it one last try. http://www.marketresearchworld.net/content/view/85/76/ https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/01h8o2ulwm/YouGov-Record-May-2015.pdf As representative as you...

There are differences and similarities but that picture does parody some of the absurd over reaction to 'war in Syria'. I doubt many people who decided to oppose the air strikes were even aware we were already bombing ISIS in Iraq or flying recon missions and using drone strikes in Syria.

In broad terms the same could also be said for the doveish narrative then.

It is a statement of fact that ISIS are and have been trying to attack us. Are you suggesting Cameron is making it up to try and manipulate the public?

Thank you for reinforcing my point EP, impeccable source. Assad is clearly misunderstood and was obviously furious when he found out civilians were being slaughtered in the wrong sort of way (attracting too much attention). Thanks for the update the PM will be pleased. Speaking of Mod Towers...

No I had no idea please tell me what the fundamental flaws are in that YouGov poll and what you base your opinion that a clear majority are against air strikes is based on.

I often find it is helpful to look for credible sources that undermine or argue against my point of view before coming to a settled view on a topic.

I can't give an easy yes no response as I do not remember the exact circumstances other than chemical weapons being used on civilians. Would you?

Just click on the numbers in the poll section to find out who voted what. Are those with the 'wrong' opinion going to be deselected from the site :whistle:

Actually polls suggest the shift was mainly in Labour voters returning to the fold, more tribal loyalty than 'a more considered, big picture, rational response'

They are both Premier league to Corbyn's non league status but unfortunately the fanbase with a lot of JCL's apparently prefer non league football :mad:

Fair enough it's just opinion polls have consistently shown a clear majority in favour of extending air strikes although the margin has reduced in recent days.

Understand you are disappointed but confused as to how this vote doesn't reflect the views of the people. What do you base that opinion on?

If he was still around I think he would have been very proud as any father should be.

Outstanding speech by Labour Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn, move over Jeremy.

Are the 100 odd Stop the War protesters outside parliament with their 'Hands off Syria placards' going on to the French, Russian and USA embassies I wonder?

You mean the poll showing 54 % support in England the only split is with Scottish opinion. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/syria-air-strikes-poll-shows-uk-is-divided-over-decision-to-extend-bombing-a6756171.html And the Daily Mail poll is using the poll I used...
