As Theresa May bombs Syria, there's an inconvenient truth behind Syria's possession of chemical weapons that she'd like us to forget. UK companies provided chemicals to Syria. And former Conservative Party leader William Hague admitted it was "likely" that these chemicals were used to produce weapons.
The UK's murky past
In the 1980s,...
In the days since Theresa May denounced the use of chemical weapons in Douma, threats of military intervention against Syria have loomed. May called an urgent cabinet meeting to discuss military options. The cabinet agreed on the need to take urgent action to punish Syria for the use of chemical weapons against civilians. MPs cautioned...
On 9 April, US reporter Tucker Carlson went rogue and destroyed the case for invading Syria live on air. This is surely an indictment of the wider 'liberal' mainstream media. With war hawks everywhere, one of the only sober discussions of Syria's recent chemical attack has come from a right-winger on Fox...
With all the usual war hawks pushing us to bomb Syria, ordinary citizens really need to see the evidence which suggests we should take a step back and think for ourselves.

We urgently need to talk about Jeremy Corbyn's record on chemical weapons. Because far from being weak on the matter, he has consistently led the way.
Corbyn's mature response to the Salisbury poisoning has even impressed some of his opponents. But amid preposterous media propaganda aimed his way in the wake of the event, now is...
An acclaimed investigative journalist has now blown a giant hole in the official narrative of one of 2017's most explosive world events: the Syrian 'chemical attack' and Donald Trump's fierce response. But the BBC and other media outlets seem to be completely ignoring his exposé.
Instead, the public service broadcaster is just...
The US and Russia could be on the brink of war. A real war, as opposed to the proxy war fought in Syria over the last four years. And Britain could be dragged into the conflict too. But there is another war taking place - a political war. Because moves to purge 'an inner sanctum' power base at the heart of the White House appear...
Amnesty International is accusing the Sudanese government of committing war crimes by using chemical weapons - an action that has threatened to spark further conflict in the country. But this is just the latest in a long line of atrocities committed in this part of Africa.
