I hope my comrades on the Left do not argue Britain should not act against IS.
IS is clearly a danger to us, here, and it is morally right to tackle them anyway. If you don’t think so, you haven’t been paying attention!
Ultra Lefties who would rather use British involvement as an opportunity for cynicism should reflect upon how the British public saw the Left’s attitude towards crime in the 1980s and 1990s. We were perceived as more anxious to look after the interests of criminals and give them an understanding hug rather than look after our people as a whole.
We should stand up for minorities wrongly victimised, explain differences and argue for tolerance. But in the case of the indefensible, our duty is to protect the majority. We are socialists, not anarchists!
