SHOULD we be giving arms to the Syrian ‘rebels’? Answer: no. It will lead to more deaths of innocent Syrians or with British soldiers on the ground. And what if we topple the Syrian government?
We could end up with an Islamic fundamentalist state that will give its support to the Al Qaeda network. And they will be armed – with the weapons we have given them.
Godfrey Bloom, UKIP MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.
