SYRIA NEEDS PEACE VOTE LABOUR

THERESA MAY

THE NEW PRIME MIMISTER

Syria needs peace and all the Allies should work towards it.

At the moment, it was reported, 11 countries are bombing the ISIS strongholds.  But a great number of these countries play a double game. They are bombing while they supply the ISIS with weapons through the back-door. Therefore the bombing will not achieve anything but destruction of the towns.

Is it wise that UK PM David Cameron trying to push his decision forward to add the UK in the bombing raids?

The leader of the Labour Party, who has become a thorn in David Cameron‘s sides, campaigns to bring peace to Syria and end the civil war. After all it had increased and spilled over the border of Syria across the world.

USA supported the “moderate rebels” which is very debatable group who they are and escalate the fighting with no hope to bring down Mr Assad. US Secretary of State, John Kerry, seems to be too hot headed in his termination of replacing Mr Assad. Therefore, presumable pressuring Mr Cameron and him follows it not very wise. 

The only PM who refused to join the USA was Harold Wilson, Labour, in the Vietnam War. A war, which turned out to be a great loss of lives.

One of the arguments against increased bombing is that it would bring ISIS’ revenge to the UK, like it did in France. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon pointed out that the UK is already on the ISIS list. It maybe so and there is no doubt because of the unauthorised bombing made by David Cameron last September. Unauthorised because the MPs voted against it in 2013.

However, Mr Fallow has a point but more bombing would increase Isis’s determination to repeat a Paris attack in London. If the UK now stays out of it it might be avoidable.

Although the West does not want to listen and hear it but the Russian having a more sensible approach to bring the ISIS down. They suggest sanctions and confiscate the huge amount of money sitting everywhere in banks.  Banks also have to answer why they playing a double game and support the ISIS in a round about way.

France President Mr Hollande had a meeting with the Russian President Mr Puttin and  agreed to side with Russia in a united effort to bring peace.

Although Germany announced that the Cabinet decided to join the bombing raid but a poll showed that only 36 per cent of the people agreed with it.  Mrs Merkel also went against the people’s wishes. This point was not widely spread in the press because it would influence MPs' votes  to some extent..

BRITAIN AXED MILITARY FORCES -- Update 26 Feb., 2015

UPDATE: 26 February, 2015 -- What kind of politic is that? The Government is spending over £30million  on adverts to recruit soldiers, RAF and Navy personnel. These recruits need training which cost additional money while the previously sacked army were fully trained.  This is sheer loony. The axed personnel are most probably still on benefit which is another waste of money.


UPDATE: 1 March 2014 -- In spite of all the redundancy the Government is still planning to axe 1,400 soldiers. Adding to the previous redundancies in the last three years it is adding a great number of unemployed people.  People who have been trained just for a particular job and have no other knowledge will find it hard to get a job especially in a situation of 2.5million unemployment. Yet, the Government make us belief in reducing unemployment.

UPDATE:  25 January 2013  ---  A further redundancy in the Armed Forces had been announced. There will be another 5,300 soldiers lose their job. This will bring down the total to 82,000 and is the lowest for 200 years. Where does the government think they find jobs in a high unemployed market? Most of them will end up as unemployed and receiving benefit. Then the government is surprised when the benefit payments double and treble. What kind of policy is this/

This is now the second time and in a very short time where armed forces being axed. This time about 4,000 personnel of soldiers and officers had lost their job. Quite a number were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan which was an illegal war started by Mr Bush and involved Mr Blair. It all cost too many lives and didn’t bring peace.

This time it is the RAF and Navy which are mostly losing their men. On the list are six RAF air vice-marshals and 30 group captains.

Overall the RAF are earmarked for 115 squadron leaders

The NAVY will not fare any better with being on the list for five commodore and 15 captains and all together 30,000 Royal Naval personnel.

It was also announced the 500 private and 400 Ghurkhas will receive their redundancy notice. It will especially hit hard the Ghurkhas who fought so willingly and known as the best force in the British Army. They are not allowed to receive British Citizenship and therefore most probably no financial benefits.  This is a disgrace if ever there was one.

In stage three it is the Army which will lose about 20,000 soldiers right across.

There are several points to said about this irresponsibility

The first point which comes to mind is that there is always money available to bail-out countries as well as foreign aids which do nothing but go into the pocket of the various governments.

The second point is the impact of human and military of these job losses. Again most of them fall on social benefit which costs money and does not produce anything.

The third point is that it will reduce Britain to a very low military power. Especially at a moment when there is still Afghanistan fighting going on. The Falklands in danger of being claimed by Argentine, Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Syria are an increasing threat to peace, trade and economy. Hard negotiation over all these dangerous developments will not work if these countries are aware the military force is not there.

The argument by the Coalition that part-time reserve would fill the gap if it comes to the worst is nothing but ludicrous.

A Ministry of Defence spokesman pointed out that the multi-billion deficit has to be reduced.  The plan is to reduce the Army by 82,000 by 2020, Navy and RAF by 5,000

Many of the overworked British Armed Forces applied for redundancy. Their fear of a future in an Armed Force having to work twice is hard of which they are already pushed to total exhaustion being under-staffed already.

On an overall view of the not very clever politics of the present government there are 15,000 policemen lost their job at a time of a crime wave never seen before.

The Olympics is coming up very shortly and the government counter argument to this was that the army would be deployed. On 12 June 2012 -- 4,000 Army personnel and 30,000 Royal Navy personnel lost their job. The Army is still fully deployed in Afghanistan and can’t put down their arms to go back to secure the Olympics safety.

Well let’s hope they know what they doing in practice and not just with statistics and on paper.

The last point is to make that the Ministry of Defence “found” £12billion. What happen to it? This £12billion was sitting there when everything was being paid. Therefore, is the ministry of Defence really in such a high deficit?
