Will this not make Britain by default less safe? Are they not now, if they were not already, more open to a Paris-style attack?
We have been for ages, our capital and provincial cities have been at risk for quite some time now, our terror threat level is currently at 'severe' which is the one down from the highest (critical - we've been at a critical level twice, the foiled plane plot in August 2006 and that time that guy tried to crash a car with gas cannisters into Glasgow airport in 2007).

There are people over here already that wish to cause us harm. Brits have gone over to fight for ISIS already. I am concerned. It's sad, but I believe it's inevitable someone will eventually slip through. It only takes a handful of people to cause great damage.

I didn't want us to bomb Syria btw.
