A Conservative MP urged the British Government to join the armed fight against Isis “b**stards” during a discussion about military intervention live on daytime television.
Bob Stewart was invited to appear on ITV’s This Morning alongside Owen Jones and Julia Hartley-Brewer during a discussion about intervention in Syria as the Labour party reacted to leader Jeremy Corbyn’s disclosure that he could not back strikes.
An impassioned Stewart dropped the expletive as he insisted the British Government had a duty to tackle the militant terror group with force.
“In the end, if our country is threatened by these b**tards we've got to do something about it and that's what our armed forces are there to do,” he said.
