I'm feeling slightly better today, off work and not awake enough for college. My head is feeling a bit fuggy still, which is the best adjective I've come up with today but I still e-mithered my MP to try to encourage him to vote against dropping airstrikes on Syria, this is what I came up with:
"I'll limit this to 2 brief points, as you may have a few things to consider before voting on going to war on Wednesday.
1. How can a country that claims to be operating under Austerity, afford to go to war in Syria?
2. How can attacking a country like Syria make any difference, when ISIS operates terrorist cells out of countries they attack?
The people who attacked Paris were largely French, if people choose to blow themselves up over here, they will in all likelihood be British Nationals.
Bombing Syria will more than likely encourage more people to join ISIS in the Middle East, exacerbating the existing problem.
Please vote for common sense and against another needless war tomorrow.
Thank you,"
For what it's worth. It's likely it will go ahead anyway, as lots of Labour MPs are unconcerned about how badly the last one went (and how it probably helped cause the Paris incidents in the long run) and are happy to join with our fuckwit Prime Minister.
Peace on Earth, eh?! Personally, I reckon Cameron is trying to kickstart our flagging economy with arms sales, the bellwhiff!
At least I won our advent calendar 'twee-off' (where me and Toni compete to get the twee-est thing!) and I can now listen to Christmas songs without complaint from others, ha!
