“Here we are again. Once more, England will enter lockdown on Thursday…. Once more, the government has been far too slow to act….. What is truly depressing for many people is not lockdown in itself, but the growing conviction that this government has no exit plan, and no ability to execute one even if they stumble across it.”

There is a “moral case for intervention in Syria.” Bashar al-Assad’s “battle to hold on to power at any cost–including the lives of some 100,000 Syrians–is founded on the assumption the international community is too divided to act with conviction. He has exploited the divisions to take the war on his own people to terrifying extremes…. But this is a gamble he cannot be allowed to win.”
