This IS What You Wanted

This time last year, the British Government wanted to intervene militarily in support of what is now the Islamic State, and the commentators who are now calling most vocally for intervention against it were calling for International Brigades to be raised in its support.

It looks as if such Brigades have indeed been heading off to fight for it from the United Kingdom, the Prime Minister of which wanted to send Her Majesty's Armed Forces in the same cause at the time when James Foley's decapitator doubtless set out from London.

"Has the Prime Minister ever read Frankenstein?", George Galloway asked him. "Did he read it to the end?" The answer to that second question, at least, is clearly in the negative.
