Following today's very limited US attacks on Isis militants "to protect American nationals and interests", -note no mention of the 100,000 or more Iraqis facing threats of imminent genocide,- the UK has weighed in.
Definately no military intervention but a couple of million pounds worth of tents, solar powered lighting, meals and bottled water. That's a big comfort. At least people can be slaughtered in tents, aided maybe by electric light and having had a portion of a meal and a gulp or two of water. There are a few more millions going to charities "already on the ground". Unfortunately there is no sign of any in the affected areas. Never mind. At least when its all over and its safe to venture out of Baghdad or wherever they are holed up they will be able to afford to get to the scene of whatever has happened in more, newer and shinier 4x4s.
Isis must be quaking in its shoes.
