FFS, We should keep well out of it, unless we want to give all the fundamentalists & Jihadists around the world yet more ammunition to recruit more British born Muslims to their cause to fight the new British crusaders, ala Iraq & Afghanistan!

Just let other Muslim states or the corrupt African Union send help if they feel the need, mind you I dont see the Pakistanis, Saudis or Nigerians rushing to get stuck in, so why the fuck should our troops intervene in what is an INTERNAL crisis!!!

The LOAMSHIRES are a very distinguished regiment and have been on every operation in the Shaftsbury Gap since time immemorial! They have some famous members too, including WW1 hero Captain "Bulldog" Drummond DSO MC.

Can't we send the Royal Waltshires? Biggest regiment in the British Army apparantly?

Would that be the 1st Bt (SAS) Waltshires or the 2nd Bt (Para) Waltshires

I bet 49 Para will be in the thick of it once they have been located at their secret location.

(whispering David Attenbrough voice) And here we see the Auto knee jerk reaction. No thinking required and of course not a single synapse utilised. Just stimulus-response. Very odd behaviour.

Doh!

Unfortunately I have watched so many morons on TV asking why we are not doing anything, I thought the nice but dim Cameron had actually made a decision to send troops! Memo to self:- read more carefully in future!!
