Title: MPs authorise UK action against Islamic State
Post by: Luke on December 03, 2015, 12:40:12 am

MPs have given the green light for British pilots to launch bombing raids over Syria after a marathon Commons debate lasting more than 10 hours.
David Cameron's motion seeking authorisation to order air strikes against the so-called Islamic State (IS) passed by 397 votes to 223, a majority of 174. A rebel amendment was seen off by 179 votes.
While noisy anti-war protests roared outside the Palace of Westminster, the epic debate saw fierce clashes between the Prime Minister and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn before 104 contributions from the backbenches.
Labour MPs, granted a free vote following an acrimonious party split over bombing raids, were sharply divided.

Well they don't waste any time, jets are already on the way to Syria, about time though! Time to obliterate ISIS in their own home.
