Control only what we can, should be our policy.
I think anyway we lack to military weight or muscle, lack the diplomatic gravitas to really count abroad in any sort of policy. That era for Britain finally collapsed in Iraq around about 2007 or 2008, for me at least.
Middle East policy don't make me laugh- we need to start look much more closely within our own island for a start. You all know as well as I do we now have numerous areas of the UK that no longer look like home anymore. Parts of even Hull, Newcastle upon Tyne, Luton let alone the Midlands or London look to me, totally foreign with large embedded very visible ethnic communities, hundreds of thousands of people with, deep down no real love or allegiance to Great Britain.
There's the future problem for us, its as clear as day But we've probably even blown that now, for our future generations.
I'm not trying to be offensive here, or want to sound like old Alf Garnet, but its true. And its too late. We can all see what's going to come.
