  1. Assad is fighting for nothing but his own power. The nightmare in Syria came about because of his regime. Syria could have gone the way of Tunisia. But Assad seems set on fighting till the last Syrian in order to keep his bloodthirsty regime in power. Also, there's nothing hypocritical about not wanting supporters of mass murdering enemy regimes coming into the country. If you're here. You ought to leave.

  2. Good thing too. But that still doesn't mean you should stay.

  3. Yup.

  4. Rather puts the 'rise in racism since Brexit' into perspective! Of course, full on Islamist violence has to be treated very differently from generalising against those who voted leave. We wouldn't want to give the wrong idea!

  5. You mean to say Sinn Fein and the SNP never really wanted independence until now? Damn! Just think, if we had voted to remain in the EU, guaranteed that the SNP would have never demanded another referendum ever!

  6. No. You're the reason that ISIS is so well armed. You sell them weaponry. You personally do. I've seen you do it. And we all know it's true. You're worse than the Nazis, the KGB, ISIS, and al Qaeda X 100.

  7. Scotland voted to remain within the UK knowing there was a chance the UK as a whole could vote (democratically) to leave the EU. The SNP made quite sure that the Scots knew this was a possibility. However, the SNP were calling for a second referendum almost as soon as the first was over. And no one who advocated the UK remaining in the EU could make any promises that Scotland would remain within the union if the voters voted to stay in the EU. In other words, the SNP will use any excuse for another referendum. They are nationalists. Its what they do.

  9. philzambo Obviously, if you're dumb enough to believe the retarded crock of shit the Kremlin spews out, then yeah. I can see why you might think that.

  10. Miles Curtis Watson No. He just swallows everything the Kremlin shits out.

  11. Annie Mouse I don't see how tory cuts (because of MASSIVE Labour debt) would mean anyone would have to clad a building in flammable material.

  12. If you receive benefits, you can get free dental treatment. Substandard dwellings? They lived in a tower block not a ghetto. The NHS is free at the point of use. It's the same treatment that everyone who uses the NHS gets. Poor diets? You're generalising. You have no idea what financial situation most of those people were in.

  13. We all know what needs to happen. Assad has to go. And there can be no peace in Syria until he does. But we know that the Russians will not allow their puppet to step down. They cannot. They fear they may lose their navel bases in the Mediterranean. They need conflict in the middle east to stop oil prices from falling any lower. And of course, they need the extra money that weapons sales to the Assad regime bring in. So they will do just enough to keep him clinging on to power. Ultimately they want to knock out the Free Syrian Army in order to force the west into siding with Assad against ISIS. That is why despite their propaganda they have been concentrating their bombs on the FSA. And not ISIS.

  14. A standard list given to Russian propaganda trolls. Looks long don't it? Until you actually start reading it. Ukraine 2014? I think you are confusing the US with Russia's invasion and occupation of that country. Georgia? Again, a Russian invasion and occupation. I'm guessing those ain't the only 'mistakes'. But then the Russians lie so easily about their own history so lets not take their word for it

  15. Went there as a kid. It is a bit of a dump.

  16. Both Hezbollah and the PKK are terrorist organizations armed by Russia. Their terrorist attacks are well documented. And it is a fact that Russian-trained Syrian troops have defected to ISIS units. Both the Russians and Assad have concentrated their attacks mainly against the FSA rather than ISIS. And the FSA have, of course, done by far the most fighting against ISIS. Assad also allowed a number of military camps to fall to ISIS without a shot being fired. Along with shit loads of military hardware.  
    1
  17. So you're getting technical with the word terrorist now? How convent! Would you consider torturing to death ten thousand of your own people (including children) terrorism? What about the deliberate targeting of hospitals and aid convoys? Indiscriminate bombing. Or the use of chemical weaponry against civilians? I would. Which makes Assad a terrorist and a bloody murderous war criminal. And why this sudden Russian concern for sovereignty? The Kremlin can hardly preach after what it did in both Ukraine and Georgia. Never mind Chechnya. So what are the Russians doing in Syria? Is their plan to bomb the country back to the stone age until every Syrian is either dead or has fled the country? Meanwhile the FSA, the force that has done the most to combat ISIS, is targeted by both ISIS, Assad, and Russia.  Assad is a war criminal. As is Putin (lets not forget the invasion of both Ukraine and Georgia and the annexation of territory from both countries, as well as the shooting down of MH17). And the Kremlin has absolutely no interest in seeing anything other than it's puppet remain in power. Crude Kremlin propaganda can't hide the truth. And neither can pathetic lowlife trolls on YouTube.

  18. Many of Assad's Russian trained military also changed sides to fight for ISIS. So I guess, using your own argument, Russia also arms and supplies ISIS? And the number of civilians killed by Russian airstrikes far exceeds the numbers killed by US airstrikes. This is to be expected. Putin will fight to the very last Syrian to keep his naval bases in the Mediterranean. The fact that Assad is a bloodthirsty mass murdering tyrant worries the Russians not one bit. All through history they have always backed and supported genocidal regimes. Putin's war on ISIS is just kremlin propaganda. He's far more interested in wiping out the FSA forces. Which is why the Russians concentrate their attacks on them rather than ISIS.

  19. And there is plenty of evidence of Russian war crimes in Syria. Which is no doubt why Russia recently withdrew from the International Criminal Court.

  20. No. Russian war crimes in Syria have nothing to do with Iraq. Whether you choose to believe Assad and Putin's denials is up to you. But we all know Russia loves genocidal tyrants.

  21. Hundreds of thousands of lives, eh? You sure that wasn't down to fighting the spread of communism? Soviet backed coups, death squads, and more? After all, millions died fighting fascism. And its not like communism has a shortage of genocidal dictators to its name. Imagine the lives that could've been spared if Pol Pot had been taken out early.

  22. Lot of dirty stuff gets done during a war. After all, the west had to ally with soviet Russia during world war 2 to defeat nazism.  
    1
  23. Once again, the west had to do some pretty bad things in order to defeat nazism too. You obviously know about the soviet union and the evils of communism. Do you not think it was worth fighting?
    1
  24. What about soviet backed dictatorships? Do you think the fight against communism was too higher price to pay?
    1
  25. So wait... Russia is arming both sides while Assad is buying oil from ISIS? Now we know why Putin concentrates his attacks on none ISIS targets!

  26. Ooo-yah! Can't wait to find out what Mumford & Fuckin Sons have to say about Brexit! On second thoughts, I won't bother watching. I'll just assume they tow the Channel 4 line. And be pleasantly surprised if anyone posts a reply that M&S actually backs Brexit 100%!

  27. ...Or the kind of person who takes democratic accountability seriously?

  29.  @ruk2227  The country is already split on this issue. Just like it is split every 4 years on which party should govern. This is solved by a thing called a vote. It's a system that works. But it only works as long as it is respected by all sides. Once a sizable minority rejects the democratic consensus simply because it went against them, then the system breaks down. And when it breaks down, it breaks down for everyone.

  30.  Sherlock Holmes  The leave campaign made no promises at all. As it wasn't a general election. And the result was supposedly being delivered by a prime minister who campaigned to remain. And there was about as much dishonesty on both sides as the average general election - certainly less than in the 1975 referendum that got the UK entangled into the EU in the first place.
    1
  31.  @ruk2227  Once again, the problem comes from those who don't accept the results of a democratic vote, and who are stamping their feet claiming the UK will split if they don't get their way.
    1
  32.  Sherlock Holmes  You seem to forget that the deal put forward by the EU has been rejected by parliament, and Brussels has said that is the only deal they are prepared to offer. Therefore, if the UK is to leave the EU, and that is what the UK voted to do, then it must do so with no deal. Nobody needs to defend the inability of anyone to predict the future. That is a given. The remain campaign made promises they too had no way of guaranteeing (there will be no EU army). They also took money from crooks convicted of insider trading and deceptive advertising.
    1
  33.  @ruk2227  Sorry, but neither leaving nor remaining in the EU can guarantee those things. The SNP will continue to campaign for Scottish independence as they have done for the past 40 years of the UK's membership of the EU (as will Welsh nationalists), whether the UK is in the EU or not. And the EU does not guarantee economic stability, or have you been asleep for the past decade or so?

  34.  Sherlock Holmes  Are you aware that in such negotiations there are two sides? Do you genuinely believe that May got to dictate not just her negotiating position, but the EU's as well? Or are you just pretending ignorance? A no deal Brexit is inevitable if parliament votes against the negotiated deal. And there is nothing 'embarrassing' about bringing up the subject of an EU army. You do realise what an EU army would mean, don't you? It would effectively enable the EU to declare war on behalf of its member states. Meaning the EU would ultimately set member states foreign policy. Now, you might be naive enough to believe you will be given a vote on that, but in regards to, say, the creation of a single currency, and taking into account 'ever closer union', history tells us otherwise.

  35.  @ruk2227  I'm sorry? Have you not heard of a place called Greece? Did you not notice what was going on in Spain? Nobody is claiming leaving the EU will solve all the country's problems. If you don't like the tories, and you want labour to massively increase borrowing again, you can vote labour. But as you have just demonstrated, the EU has power but no responsibility. There is no way you can hold it to account, even if you were interested in doing so (which, lets be honest, even the most rabid supporter of EU membership is not). That is why there are no calls in the rest of Europe for a referendum on a deal that will define UK/EU relations for decades to come. No question that voters in Holland or Ireland will have their say. Because no one ever expected they would.
    1
  36.  @ruk2227  Greece and Spain are both members of the EU and have been since 1981 and 1986. The UK is already a member of the WTO. Whether anyone in Europe disagrees with the UK leaving the EU is not the issue, as this is the new reality. Just as there was no question of the EU putting the results of TTIP negotiations with the US to the people, there are no calls for referendums on any Brexit deal from the rest of the EU because you cannot hold the EU to account. Parliament is deadlocked because, despite the fact it voted to put the question of EU membership to the people, and despite the fact it voted to enact article 50, it then voted against the withdrawal agreement. This is what happens when parliament is elected on a promise to enact the will of the people, but then fails to do so. And project fear only works on remainers.

  37.  Sherlock Holmes  Lol. May's deal is the result of negotiation with the EU. So yes, the EU is as responsible for it as May. Or do you think they were sitting passive in the room? Did the UK have a referendum on the creation of the single currency? Did you get a vote on EU enlargement? Do you honestly think there would be a referendum on the creation of an EU army? You won't be asked.
    1
  38.  Sherlock Holmes  Well, you've argued against the vote, trashed the democratic consensus, taken hypocrisy to a whole new level, and are now pushing for the breakup of the UK. All because you didn't get the result you wanted. Now all you need to do is put your hope in the vile old anti-Semite leading the labour party. Because lets be honest here, you really couldn't sink any lower.
    1
  39.  Sherlock Holmes  You're the one arguing against the facts. Nick Clegg himself claimed in the run up to the referendum that the idea of an EU army was nothing but a fantasy, a conspiracy dreamt up by Farage. We've all seen how the political consensus has refused to recognise the referendum result (never mind their own promises on respecting it). And we know how Brussels deals with referendum results that stand in their way. Are you really that naive as to believe you'd ever get a choice? Like Clegg, they wouldn't even admit it was an issue, much less campaign on it. You've heard of 'ever closer union', yes? Or like Clegg, do you think thats just a fantasy too? You seem to give no agency to the EU at all. Almost as if you believe it to be a passive observer (maybe this is why you had so much trouble understanding that Brussels is as responsible for the Brexit deal as May is). What exactly do you think they do all day? How would you even begin to hold it to account, when, despite all its power, you completely absolve it of any responsibility for anything at all?

  40. Yeah, because Corbyn was always so loyal to the labour leadership, wasn't he?

  41. That kinda puts an end to Corbyn's policy

  44. The Iranian regime will always go out of its way to embarrass the UK government. And in blaming the UK government for the actions of the Iranian regime, she is playing into their hands. It's hard not to imagine she doesn't realise this. As under Jeremy Corbyn, labour has been more than willing play useful idiot to anyone who is against the UK. Her lack of interest in a case she herself could personally help with brings up questions as to her real agenda.

  45. I don't think parliament have the guts to openly go against what the country voted for. They were hoping to close off the option of leaving without a deal, while rejected the negotiated deal in the hope that they would make leaving impossible. But they voted to enact article 50. And May's deal isnt just May's deal. It's the EU's deal too. Thats what they're offering, and they're not about to start negotiations all over again, even if there was time. And there is no time. I can understand the thinking of those MPs who are against the deal because they don't believe it actually delivers on Brexit. They have always said No deal is better than a bad deal. But the remainers in parliament (the majority) have overplayed their hand. And have made no deal an inevitability. Of course, I may be wrong. Parliament might just be stupid enough to vote to overturn article 50. But no matter what they do, they haven't got much time to do it in, and as Tusk has just said, there's no way to extend that time unless they actually accept the deal. In which case, what would be the point in voting to overturn article 50?
    1
  46. UK voters overwhelmingly voted for parties that promised they would respect the referendum result. Yes, parliament voted for something they never had any intention of supporting. That's not Tusk's fault. Any vote is meaningless if, before it is enacted, it can be undone by another vote. We don't have multiple votes after general elections just to make sure people haven't changed their minds before the new government gets into power. And how many referendums are you planning to have anyway? Or are you assuming no more than it takes to deliver the result you want?

  47.  Brad Smith  Can you see that happening in the next 8 days?

  48. Its about time Brussels took Brexit seriously. Because what happens now will effect future relations between the EU and the UK for a long time to come.

  49. The Assad regime have been caught out using chemical weapons against the Syrian people a number of times. But I guess it all depends on who you want to believe - the UN, EU, US, UK, the entire western world and most other countries. Or the Assad regime, Putin, and the Iranians? Lol
