At last a house of commons with some common sense. They thwarted the ambitions of Cameron and his poodle Foreign Secretary to put more British military lives at stake for no benefit to Britain.You would be hard pressed to find any ordinary citizens who would be willing to sacrifice one British soldiers life for Syria.After the wonderful results of intervention in Afghanistan,Iraq and Libya is our Prime Minister really that dim that he does not know when to come in from the rain.As an aside - how many of those MPs that voted for military action have sons or daughters in the armed forces? We are cutting back on funding for the poorest in our society yet Mr Cameron wants to fire cruise missiles at a million dollars per copy at the Syrians - I think he needs a rapid change of priorities.The good thing that comes from this is that his chances of being the next Prime Minister are about zero.
