英国首相卡梅伦在下院辩论中说，英国是时候加入空袭IS阵营了，英国所采取的行动完全是合法和必要的，是保卫国家安全的重要手段。卡梅伦称，反对“中世纪的怪物”伊斯兰国是合法的，将为此采用政治、外交等手段全面打击伊斯兰国，提供人道主义援助。

"We should answer the call from our allies. The action we propose to take is legal. It is necessary, and it is the right thing to do to keep our country safe," he said in his opening ribing IS militants as "women-raping, Muslim-murdering, mediaeval monsters," Cameron said he wants to "pursue a comprehensive strategy that also includes political, diplomatic and humanitarian action."

英国的反战人士得知此消息后，聚集抗议，希望政府不要卷入战争。超过1000名反战示威者聚集在议会大楼外，抗议投票结果，呼吁政府不要轰炸叙利亚。

More than 1,000 protesters, led by the Stop the War coalition, demonstrated outside the Parliament Wednesday, chanting and holding placards reading: "Hands off Syria", "Don't bomb Syria" and "Say no to more imperialist war", among others.
