Robin Cook's Legacy to the people of the United Kingdom.
Much has been said about the recent parliamentary vote that prevented the U.K. from getting involved in military action in Syria, and all credit is due to those in The Labour Party, who refused to follow their leader and the Tory and Liberal rebels (few though they were) who won a great parliamentary victory against the masters of war. I have, however, not heard one word about the man who introduced the legislation which forces the Prime Minister to consult parliament before we go to war. May you rest in peace Robin, for being a brave man who resigned from the Labour Government following the war criminal Tony Blair's decision to invade Iraq, but subsequently introduced the legislation which gives parliament the ultimate decision before we go to war.
