Andrew Mitchell, a senior member of the UK's parliament and former international development secretary, said to the BBC that the UK must be willing to shoot down Russian jets to supposedly protect civilians on the ground.
"What we are saying is very clear. No one wants to see a firefight with Russia, no one wants to shoot down a Russian plane," Mitchell said. "But what we do say is that the international community has an avowed responsibility to protect and that protection must be exerted.
"If that means confronting Russia air power defensively, on behalf of the innocent people on the ground who we are trying to protect, then we should do that," the Tory MP noted.
Mitchell in his arrogance believes that such an attack would not mean a "declaration of war against Russia".

Isaiah 17. Thank you Hussein Soetoro, Illary, Lurch, and blind/deaf/stupid/greedy globalists.
Oh, and BTW, there won’t ‘always be an England’, with dolts like this MP, Mitchell!
British MP Andrew Mitchell is a British Conservative Party politician.
John Bull is no position to poke the Bear.
Add to the war-talk the US getting involved in fighting a proxy war for the Sauds who are failing in Yemen. This is seriously bad news.
ML/NJ
He must be an insane globalist.
Is the re-taking of Mosul still scheduled for October 19, the day of the Presidential Debate? Crazy. Just like Fallujah. We let the Lts. flee then killed the underlings.
That [costly] victory over Argentina gave them a little confidence, eh? For starters, Russia could vaporize every U.K. ship, military base, and city in 30 minutes and barely deplete their nuclear arsenal.
I’m sure if Churchill were alive he’d give rousing speeches on why Britain must support Salafist jihadists in destroying a secular Syria and slaughtering Christians. Not.
Good point. Can’t be said/stressed enough.
Not to mention our current state of readiness and overcommitment.
So let me see if I understand this convoluted mess. Al Queda was Sunni, funded by Sunni Sauds, which supported Iraqi Sunni which then turned into ISIS where they began fighting their Shia enemies in Iraq, Iran, and Syria.
Now, because our politicians are bought by the Sauds we need to bomb Assad. Oh, and we need to bomb ISIS but we fly a couple sorties a day against ISIS and most times our planes return with ordnance.
Just what the hell are our goals? Who is the enemy? One might think it was ISIS to hear the talk BUT WE CREATED THEM AND ARMED THEM so I am just not too sure about that.
Drop an Iron Curtain around the whole moose limb cess pit and walk away would seem to be the sanest action. WE DON’T NEED ANYTHING THE MUSLIM WORLD PRODUCES. Not as far as I can see.
I think Russia has intercepted intelligence, probably from Israel that the US and England intend to shoot down their planes.
We’ve never done that purposely. I think if that happens, you’re looking at all out response, and they know Obama will do nothing in return.
Stupid collonialist globalists, using heart bleeding as a universal right to take over collonial districts. They are simply giving fuel and reason for Russia to recolonize Syria and Ukraine instead of allowing a break up along ethnico-political lines carving Kurdistan, shia and Suni autonomous states.
When we overthrew Saddam and defeated the Iraqi military, we (the US) refused to allow the former Iraqi military to integrate or participate in the new Shia government and military.
So,Al Queda, was formed by the disenfranchised, former Iraqi military units, complete with their command and control structure. It soon morphed into ISIS with US State Dept help and funding.
ISIS is not a collection if ignorant street rabble like out news media depicts them, they are a coherent fighting force that 0bama thought he could use to depose governments in the area he didn’t like, and not have to mess with congressional approval.
Russia isn’t bombing innocents in Syria. They’re bombing Al-Queda and ISIS. The fact that these terrorists hide behind hostages and human shields doesn’t change that.
The US already bombed and strafed Deir Ezzor on behalf of ISIS.
And now some know-nothing twat in Parliament is agitating for WW3.
It’s almost as if the global uniparty is looking for a reason to cancel the US election.
The western world is run by maniacs. Why serve as the air force of ISIS? What possible benefit can we derive from antagonizing Russia?
How would Britain feel?
Like maybe they could cut back on the welfare benefits to the muslim migrants who have been sent to conquer them?
I agree .. I don’t think shooting down a Russian jet has any redeeming value at all.
We’re already being attacked with missiles being launched at our ships; do we really want to escalate this thing right now .. when we have so much upheaval inside our country.
And .. who in their right mind believes, for one moment, that Obama would consider allowing the shoot down of a Russian jet ..??????????? Not gonna happen.
We are involved.
US air attacks lit up 3 Yemeni houthi radar sites last night
No word on how many Iranian advisors killed ...
Hey Media: Ask Hillary what her NO FLY ZONE means!
