policy on Syria from the Labour conference
Nov 30, 2015, 12:31
I know it's a bit weird but when the Labour party conference was on tv (buried down the end of the list past children's tv and the porn channels) - i found myself watching it, and get this, rather enjoying it. Probably because it was all so upbeat and idealistic, full of strident speeches about the NHS and foreign policy and how crappy the tories are.

So it's interesting that back then the conference agreed that there'd have to be four criteria met if the party were to agree getting involved in bombing Syria.

And they (arguably) haven't been met.

Maybe Agreeing such a thing at the conference means nothing to the labour mps. But you'd think it ought to.
