Quote:
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has spent his life campaigning for peace and speaking out against military action.
He was one of the UK's leading campaigners against the 2003 Iraq war - and also voted against British involvement in military action in Afghanistan and Libya.
In fact, he has voted against every military action proposed by the UK government during his 35 years in Parliament. He is also firmly opposed to air strikes in Syria in response to chemical attacks, arguing that it will escalate tensions, although it looks increasingly likely that MPs will not be given a say on that.
Before entering Parliament, he spoke out against the Falklands War and cut his political teeth campaigning against the war in Vietnam, a conflict Britain supported without committing troops.

Pacifist, Traitor, Anti Royalist, Anti EU? I guess there may well be many voters out there who believe him to be at least one of those if not all

Shadow Attorney General Shami Chakrabarti says the government did not meet its own tests for launching an airstrike in Syria over the weekend.
"I don't think the government can demonstrate convincing evidence and a general acceptance by the international community that they had to act in the way they did a few days ago."
