Re: Are we at war?

From Wiki:
A declaration of war is a formal declaration issued by a national government indicating that a state of war exists between that nation and another. In the United Kingdom, only the monarch has the power to declare war and peace, under the royal prerogative.[1] There have been no declarations of war since the Second World War, though British Armed Forces have taken part in armed conflict on numerous occasions nonetheless.

Re: Are we at war?

Lets look at the bigger picture! It would be impossible to declare war on the few thousand jihadists that are in Britain. How would we locate them, and even if we could, we couldn't drop a bomb on them without hurting others?
The real problem is the criticisms of Tony Blair's lies about Iraq, which are making our governments afraid of sending in troops to hit the real targets.... like where these jihadists are trained, where their wealth of weapons are stored and where their top men may be hiding ( they are not stupid enough to die for their cause). Our leaders are afraid of becoming a joke, like Blair did, so they won't attack.
We won WW2 because our brave forces put their lives on the line to destroy major targets and reduce Germany's chances. If we don't do the same now, we risk these terrorist beating us and taking over our country, as has always been their plan!
If we don't prove our ability to deal with terrorist, and ISIS miraculously disappear , how long do you think it will be before another terrorist group will try the same tactics as ISIS.... because we are demonstrating that we are not strong enough to beat them!

Was it because Germany Forces were so stretched across Europe? & into Russia ?

How many countries had Germany invaded and conquered before we intervened ?

Were we not fighting them at sea first ? Did they not sink our civilian ships before we retaliated ?

Very heroic talk as always about WW2 but we did watch them invade/conquer a few countries before we took any action. How many died before we stepped in ?

I wasn't alive then so only have the English version of events to go on.

Also did our brave solders have a choice back then ?
Wasn't that the white feather time ? (signifying a coward if you didn't go?)

What do I know eah?

3000, so a big school and you want to declare WAR?

are you T Blair or G. Bush

Declaring WAR would be just more lip service.
What would we actually do ?

You've just lost all credibility.

Why not post under your original username?

Re: Are we at war?

First there were 200,000 now you say 3,000.

We only need to stop them returning to the UK.
We have managed that with some.

What's yours then ?

Oh wait, is it that new Armchair you have just aquired ?

I suggest you get down to your local Mosque and make some citizens arrests.
