Indeed, but I think much of the Conservative party also voted against the measure, so it is not only Labor to blame.

If only to stem the flow of work experience jihadists from this country who’d return to put their skills to domestic use.

What will is for Britain to come out strongly against the Islamoficist rebels, and put an end to misery.
The truth is that Arab Democracy is not the same as Westminster Democracy, and the sooner Britain realises that the better for all.

And now Miliband, Cooper, Alexander et al are getting on their high horse over a problem that they have actively helped exacerbate.

If they were honest, they would admit that they have played a significant role in facilitating Assad’s war against his people, and the horrors that have ensued. The Labour party has blood on its hands. Shame on all.
