I agree with the British Legion that we have a responsibility to support our troops and support their families, particularly when we are asking people to do very difficult and dangerous things for our security.

Well British troops are superb in the field in terms of conflict.

We know over very national survival is at stake; and we believe that we should support our troops, yes, and work for an outcome that results in victory.

Of course you have to support the troops. They're just kids. They're doing for their country what's expected of them.

I trust the integrity of the British government and the British soldiers.

The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.

I can't accept collective responsibility for the decision to commit Britain now to military action in Iraq without international agreement or domestic support.

The patriotism in Britain comes from us being a leader. On jobs, on tax havens, on workers' rights, on the environment. We can be leading Europe... and it will be to the benefit of every British citizen.

We remain united with the British, and our allies around the world, in our resolve to defeat terrorism and bring those who commit these acts to justice.

Whatever your political affiliation may be, whether you are a conservative or liberal, we should all be bound by the belief that we need to support the troops.
