Sir Keir Starmer’s characterisation of the Assad regime as barbaric 
is perhaps a sign of his own ignorance.
 
Or the presumption that us lesser mortals are unaware of the collusion
between such regimes and the liberal western democracies.
 
Not only was intelligence extracted through torture passed by the Syrian
regime to the west, but prisoners, already tortured were despatched
to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba for further mistreatment and perhaps
murder. No law, moral,legislative or judicial applies to there irregularities.
 
For Uncle Sam and John Bull foreign Barbarians have their uses.
 
Take UZBEKISTAN, where tortures of Satanic cruelty and ingenuity produced
intelligence passed to grateful western democraciies. 
 
One British Hero, CRAIG MURRAY when Ambassador to that country blew the whistle on thecollaboration with the West and was himself almost  driven to suicide by his bosses who are still intent on the destruction of his reputation and
life.
 
See my BLOG of yesterday 10th December on Craig Murray.
 
There may BARBARIANS WITHOUT THE GATES of John Bull’s Island.
 
But it seems there are sneakier ones within. I can think of one who by calumniated
the leader of his own Party and thus took over it.
