Britain's prime minister Cameron wins a parliamentary vote 397 to 223 on December 2, 2015, for military action in Syria
12/02/2015
After losing a vote in parliament for action in Syria following the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime, prime minister Cameron wins by a large majority in 2015. His argument in the House of Commons was that it was better to strike the militants in their home bases in the Middle East before they strike in Britain. This follows terrorist attacks in France in Nov. 2015. Britain is already involved in military action in Iraq using airstrikes so it made little sense not to include Syria say analysts, as the Islamic State operates in both countries. Labor was split on the vote, with its leader Jeremy Corbyn voting against and allowing Labor members to vote freely to avoid resignations in the Labor party.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
