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?

Would you vote for bombing ISIS in Syria?

Yes they did march to quite a few locations last night, however tonight its about letting parliament know their is a big opposition to the motion put forward by the government tonight, so I imagine they will stay put and make their voices heard

I think the word you're looking for is 'prat'.
One thing we certainly do need to do, whether or not we join in with the bombing, is to forge some good working relations and agreements with the Russians.

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

Tubthumping in parliament is never a good sight especially when its over a vote in taking people into war

Interesting observation on NSC that most political posts have a hard left leaning & following ---- totally contradictory to the country as a whole

Is this in reference to the 2:1 vote against bombing Syria? Because most people I've talked to seem to be against it. However, you have to bear in mind people who make their voices heard are usually the ones more opposed to it. Those indifferent won't get involved so I guess the results may be skewed. Still bitterly disappointed with tonights vote though, it seems the politicians don't represent the people. Again.

Something is going to happen over here whether we start bombing or not, only difference is that they'll use this as an excuse now

Fully expecting a London attack soon. It doesn't affect my decision whether bombing is correct or not, but I think it'll prove bombing won't make us safer. That being said, I think the general ignorant public will use a London attack as proof we should be bombing Syria.

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?

This is Tony Benn we are speaking of, a leading figure in the Stop the War Coalition, a member od CND, and a voracious opponent of the Falklands War.
Still, I expect you're right

Just people I've spoken to, people who post on social media, comments on my local MPs page, forums like this one. I've heard a lot more against bombing that for it. Again, I'll stress I think the people who make their voice heard are more likely to be against it, so we get skewed statistics, but I still think there are more against than for. A proper referendum would have been interesting to find out what the public really think.
