Extremehyp­ocrisy

I stand with Theresa May. We have indeed been too accommodat­ing about extremism and we must fight to defend democracy.

I can think of no worse example of unacceptab­le extremism than to illegally invade a country with tanks and bombs and kill hundreds of thousands of entirely innocent people on a tissue of lies.

Is the democracy we have to defend the same democracy that elected, by huge majority (in an election declared clean and fair by UN and EU observers) a secular president that we then funded and armed Islamic terrorists (aka “rebels”) to try to remove?

The level of hypocrisy we face is breathtaki­ng.
