Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

A bunch of retired people who have moved to America are not representative of the British people, any more than Nigel Farage is.

And as for "as much as your feelings about America":

I have no interest in the US. I never want to go there, I don't have any interest in the scenery or the limited history and by and large the culture leaves me absolutely cold. I don't like guns, I don't eat meat, I don't drive a car. I don't really give a toss about domestic goings on in the US. I only care when US foreign policy affects the rest of us.

Not one single person I know from my place of work or elsewhere (so that's a pretty broad range of UK citizens with a cross-section of very different politics) thinks that the decision to drop bombs on Syria will have any beneficial effect on stopping IS whatsoever. Most (probably all) agree that IS are Bad, but dropping bombs with no other strategy isn't viewed as a sensible solution at all.

In fact, most people here are now feeling much less safe, despite the assertions of our hopeless Foreign Secretary. None of them have expressed any pride in our parliament's stance - for the most part because they don't like the idea of pointlessly killing civilians while making a bad situation worse in a way that will directly come back to haunt us.

Even Blair has admitted that IS only exist because of Iraq and the West's catastrophic meddling in the Middle East.
