We're tired of wars

UK EXPRESS EXCLUSIVE ‘We’re tired of wars’ - Nigel Farage explains why we MUST resist striking Syria

We have been in Afghanistan longer than the First and Second World Wars combined and yet what have we actually achieved?

The price we have paid is considerable: not just the billions of pounds spent, but the price in blood of the hundreds of British soldiers killed and maimed fighting thousands of miles away from the country they signed up to defend.

What is the objective of any attacks? What is the entry and exit strategy - and most importantly, what are the potential repercussions?
