Forget boots on the ground in Syria, we have other African countries to spend your money on.

Another exercise in teaching the local heroes how not to run away at the first sight of a barbaric murdering animal with a penchant for fairy stories.

What could possibly go wrong? (Again)

The West should consider colonising Africa once again, because it's a certainty that they can't look after themselves.

/// Mr Cameron suggested that bringing stability to both countries could help ease the migration crisis that is seeing hundreds of thousands of migrants cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe. ///

I thought that those hundreds of thousands of migrants/refugees, came from Syria?

/// Mr Cameron said: “Our Armed Forces have a long history of delivering security and stability to some of the most difficult environments in the world, and I am proud to offer British support and expertise to peacekeeping operations in Somalia and South Sudan.” ///

We are not bothered whether or not you are proud, it's easy to offer support when you yourself are safe and sound in Downing Street, think about those who you are sending to the rat holes of Africa.

Are you being serious, AOG?

TAKE up the White Man's burden -
Send forth the best ye breed -
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild -
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
