UK Leaders Approve Air Strike Against Daesh: At What Cost?
The UK Government have authorised military action against Daesh. Mere moments after this was announced in Parliament, four Tornado jets took off from the RAF base in Akrotiri. Their destination is yet to be confirmed.
MPs voted 397 votes to 223. A large majority more than what was expected. andoverleader
Although 66 Labour MPs sided with the government, the majority of the Labour party voted against.
Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour party, took to social media platforms to express his disappointment:
The fact of the matter is, David Cameron’s case was not convincing, lacking either credible ground troops or a plan for a diplomatic settlement. Since he first made his case for airstrikes in Syria, last Thursday, opposition has mounted; in the country, in parliament and in the Labour Party.”
An echoed disappointment
Corbyn’s disappointment echoes through to a lot of the British population. Many people disagree with the outcome for Syria, but had no voice when it came to the 10 hour debate.
All we need to do to highlight the severity of this decision is to look at our past. A past that is barely 100 years old.
The various wars fought all over the world, the millions of people dead for a cause that most of us can’t remember. This new episode of the war on terror will seemingly become an attack that will surely be devastating for the innocent people in Syria whom do not sympathise with Daesh or their actions, and will undoubtedly add to those troubling statistics.
David Cameron claimed those who vote against the Syrian Air Strike are ‘terrorist sympathisers.’
If I had the chance, I would have voted against bombing Syria and I do not consider myself a terrorist sympathiser. I consider myself a sympathiser of innocent human lives.
To finish this sombre article, I close with a few more words from Corbyn:
“British service men and women will now be in harm’s way and the loss of innocent lives is sadly almost inevitable.”
