PM: Time to bomb Syria
Cameron decides UN can’t stop his lust for destruction

BRITAIN could begin bombing Syria without the support of the UN security council, David Cameron declared yesterday.

In a statement to Parliament about the Paris terror attacks, the Prime Minister signalled his intention to call a second vote on RAF air strikes in Syria after MPs scuppered his drive to war last August.

Bombing will be part of the government’s “comprehensive strategy” for destroying Islamic State (Isis) terrorists that he pledged to set out before the end of November.
