Rejected petition No to arming rebels in Syria
More details
We think its 100% wrong for the UK government to send Islamic terrorists (rebels) anything other than their own funeral and even that's pushing things.
Arming rebels will only exasperate the fighting in Syria. The weapons supplied could be used against our own soldiers a few years down the line.
We think this would be common sense given the failure of the "Arab Spring" but obviously not.
We, the UK, have no reason to get involved at all, especially with the governments spending cuts, the last thing we want is to arm terrorists.
It's morally wrong and must be stopped.
