Sir Howard Elston (DOA) noted journalist and all around mediocrity fields queries about the big issues confronting us today in the world as we know it, as it were.

Today: From Stephanie in Shrewsbury, UK

Steph: Do you agree with the US airstrikes in Syria against ISIS? Is it right normally to attack anyone in a foreign country? Are the attacks morally acceptable? How can we be convinced that innocent people aren’t killed? Aren’t we indirectly helping Assad who is a despot? And shouldn’t regional powers such as Iran and Saudi Arabia and Turkey be pulling their weight?

Sir Howard Elston: God knows. I’m confused.

Steph: Thank you

Sir Howard Elston: You’re welcome

Sir Howard will be fielding LIVE questions from his cell in Joliet State Prison in Illinois this coming Thursday. E mails are accepted, as are postal letters as long as they are in non-joinedy-up writing
