Lib Dems BACK bombing

LIBERAL Democrat leader Tim Farron backed the US missile strikes saying the UK should support more military action.

He insisted: ‘We cannot sit by while a dictator gasses his own people, we cannot stand by, we must act’. He added: ‘The attack by American forces was a proportionate response to the barbarous attack by the Syrian government on its own people.

‘The British government, rather than just putting out a bland statement welcoming this, should follow it up and call an emergency meeting of the Nato alliance to see what else can be done, be that more surgical strikes or no-fly zones.’
