Should the UK spent £M's on war?

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon says the UK's campaign against ISIS is likely to last for 2 - 3 years, 'a long haul!' British figher jets fly over Iraq

At the same time, Sir Bob Kerslake has warned that cuts are likely to last for 'maybe 5 more years.'  

Isn't it time the £M's spent on wars was spent on UK citizens at home?

We in the UK are used to getting shafted, Its a daily conversation about whats wrong,
You my dear have done the right thing, Here have the blady place i'm off,  
Wish i could, because they spend our money without asking us,
Some other loons will be along shortly,

Bombing Iraq will not make the UK any safer, there are literally 1000's of EU born jihadists fighting in Iraq & Syria - every missile launched creates ever more who are willing to go and fight or stay at 'home' and fight!

We continue to cut our armed services to the core and bomb from distance areas of the world - all this does is create wealth for the arms industry & misery for civilians living in the UK and Iraq/Afganistan/Pakistan

We are scared of saying NO to America, We need them on side or were screwed,
Cam moron looked scared stiff saying we are in again, Another Blair moment - piece envoy

That is an awful lot of money tied up there TV, so couldn´t it be better spent on the people who live in the relevant countries rather than sticking our noses into other countries business.  Or are we only doing it to those countries where we (aka the US) will benefit from Oil, gas line etc.

stop using thousand of plasic bags made from OIL might be a good start ...i get petrol in cars but everything is packed in hard plastic ,and you just throw it in the bin ,,,

That's all about to change! They are going to charge 5p a bag in supermarkets from October!

Yip,go for it, aint gonna cost a penny more than we're already spending on the lazy feckers, (army, navy, air force, fire brigade, etc), sit around all day doing feck all, let them earn there keep, and once they've got rid of this bunch of so called religious sand shaggers, keep going and get rid of the rest of them, proddies, catholic's etc, trouble makers the lot of them...

yes could put the fire brigade on 9-5 and give everyone a 5p plastic bag of water at night 

Point is, we're paying them anyway, so may as well get our moneys worth...

i would not worry about the lazy people in the RAF ,the LUFTWAFFE is twice their size ,im sure the germans will get back in the habit of bombing again soon ,,,

...and it'll be efficient!

i can't see the problem,why not just drop one nuke on the whole of the middle east  got to be cheaper in the end, then we can go back in about 30 years and take the oil

I said that years ago, Send a large one over, let the dust settle, shift this lot from the UK, start again,
