    Corbyn was unelectable and an all round weird bloke. The true Labour voter didn't resonate with Corbyns message.. Are they Blairites too? I don't think the weirdo in charge of Labour now is much different to Corbyn so I can't see how 'The Blairites' run The Labour Party.. I am a life long supporter and former Donor to The Labour Party

    You really can't ever justify a war in any other way than by self-defense and there's no real way to avoid it if you're attacked. Ethically, therefore, it cannot exist

    One of the more cogent things that John Keegan said about war in general was that a big part of modern war was just getting people to fight rather than run away.

    It is never justified to start a war. It is always justified to respond to the start of one.
