But I do wish everyone would stop saying we are going to be 'Bombing Syria'.
The trouble is, that's what Joe Public sees on TV all the time. Shot of Backfire bombers releasing great sticks of unguided "iron" bombs, reminiscent of B52s carpet bombing North Vietnam - then cut to shots of Aleppo, or wherever, in ruins, and you are obviously going to get a negative response. Pose the question - "do you wish RAF aircrews to engage carefully selected IS targets with highly accurate weapons in Syria, as they are currently doing in Iraq?" and you would probably get a very different response. I would hazard a guess that in Corbyn's letter to Labour party members to sound opinion on the matter his question was not posed as I suggested.
