The UK is not isolated, as UKIP seem to want

Nigel Farage's Radio 4 interview on UK foreign policy was a display of utter incompetence. He was wholly ignorant of Operation Palliser, in which British forces successfully assisted the end of the bloody conflict in Sierra Leone; a military operation that did have the support of law and was in our National Interest. He also failed to recognise the value of International Cooperation to combat Somali Pirates, in which the EU's operation NESTOR will play a major role by training Horn of Africa regional naval forces to take over naval law enforcement currently being undertaken by NATO. His final gaff was the absurd claim that the UK's foreign policy is determined by Brussels, when last week's key vote in the House of Commons on Syria demonstrated to all that the UK, and its Parliament are the ultimate arbiters our foreign policy and military interventions. Perhaps he could instead explain how standing isolated from our allies is good for Britain's security?
