SIR - Following in the bloody footsteps of the Labour party, the Tories are preparing to go to war, again.

Despite the fact that there is no solid evidence for the alleged chemical attack by Assad, this is not going to stop their agenda for more war and control.

In a very chilling Orwellian development the Tories have recently announced plans to bring back national service for ‘unemployed youngsters’ and create military schools to help ‘poor children’. Why is it that the cowards who call for wars never fight them themselves?

I just wonder if all the people that blindly continue to vote Tory and Labour would be willing to put their feet where their ballot is and go sign up to fight their party's wars?
