After last night’s Syria vote, has Britain become the new Sweden?
Tory MP and former minister Crispin Blunt on Radio 4 just now said MPs who defeated the PM yesterday were trying to enshrine a new paradigm of British foreign policy. We should draw in our horns, stop trying to maintain “imperial pretensions,” he said.

Paddy Ashdown told me that depressed him mightily, and Britain was sounding like it was turning into “Denmark or, more accurately, maybe Sweden” as Denmark still had “some international ambitions”.

I am sure that if the evidence against the Assad regime was strong enough then the planes would be warming up as we speak. What they got was an opinion based on almost nothing and they weren’t crazy about going there based on the paltry evidence.

If Obama has any evidence let him present it to the American people via Congress. He won’t - I don’t think he would get the numbers either!

The real killer yesterday was Germany’s statement that they are on Russia’s side in the Syrian mess. Amazing! When have Germany and Russia ever agreed on anything? This could only have happened because Americans re-elected the Worst President in American History.

The Brits don’t like Obama. It’s as simple as that.

At least he called back Parliament and had the courage to put it to a vote.

Hilarious. Cameron suffers the “humiliation”, but not Sparky the Wunder Prez. Couldn’t even manage to pull together a “Coalition of Zero”.

Historic humiliation for Cameron as government defeated on Syria vote

I'm no politician, but here's a hint to Cameron - If you do Hussein 0bama's (the devil's) bidding, you're very liable to suffer serious consequences.

Amid shouts of 'resign' in the Commons chamber, Cameron said: "The British parliament does not want to see military action. I get that and the government will act accordingly."

He did the right thing. He followed the right course of action and respected the decision made by the representatives of the people. He has nothing to be ashamed of here.
