But how many strikes on Islamic State have actually been carried out by the UK?
Apparently, just ONE!!
There were also two other sorties, but in total, just three sorties: one actual attack, and two other missions.
Britain's controversial air campaign in Syria has been branded a “non-event” after it emerged that the Air Force has carried out only one attack on the country in the last four weeks.
Since MPs voted for war over Syria on 1 December, more than a month ago, RAF Tornados and Typhoons have mounted only three strike missions – all in the first five days of the operation.
No RAF manned strikes have been conducted on any Syrian target since 6 December, 28 days ago, it can be revealed.

So STW don't have that much to complain about.
