Theresa May appeared to be preparing the ground for coordinated military action against Syria on Tuesday, as she pointed the finger at the Assad government for the chemical weapons attack in Douma and promised to ensure that those responsible were held to account. The prime ministers comments came as the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, called for a vote in parliament before the UK joined any military action.
May told reporters in Birmingham: The chemical weapons attack that took place on Saturday in Douma in Syria was a shocking and barbaric act. The use of chemical weapons cannot go unchallenged.
Were rapidly reaching an understanding of what happened on the ground, she added. All the indications are that the Syrian regime was responsible, and well be working with our closest allies to consider how we can ensure that those responsible are held to account, and also how we can prevent and deter the humanitarian catastrophe of the use of chemical weapons in the future.

“The nasty hag needs to send her people in. “
Without guns...and knives.
Wake me when the globalist minion is ready for action against domestic jihadists, the terrorist mayor of London, shariah courts, and Brexit. Basically Mayfly is Angela Merkel without testosterone.
Screw you May. You can’t even protect your own children from being mass raped, or servicemen being stabbed on the streets of London by Islamists.
Me as well. The rudeness and vitriol their Parliament has show Trump as well. They are the enemy of the US who unleashed their man Steele upon. Jefferson was so right about these limey bastards.
From all the knee-jerk comments, I’d wager they could come out with undeniable facts and a lot of folks would opt for the “hide our head in the sand” response...with a lot of “Yeah, but.....” “reasoning”....
