I hear what you say but you know what - Corbyn really is an appalling person !

Is he though?

I do wonder about it at times. He says some very caring things, and I do believe he actually believes in them, but I do wonder sometimes if he's really competent enough to carry it off. Equally, what an idiot! "Yes I watch the Queen's speech on the morning..." The subject itself is relatively inconsequential but why lie? And is that an indicator of the man, a liar through and through?

But the problem with a liar is then the lack of credibility in everything they say.

I trust pretty much nothing of consequence out of his mouth, just as I trust nothing out of Johnson's mouth.

I think the most trustworthy politician at present is Jo Swinson. She really does come across as very truthful but oh how undemocratic.
 
The most applause given by the studio audience on the PM debate was given to Corbyn after Johnson shamelessly tried to blacken him with an IRA jibe.
I cannot recall exactly what Corbyn said but it was dignified and statesman like and the audience reacted to that.

Remember this is coming from me, a bloke who thinks Corbyn is pretty ineffectual.

I'm not sure those three words should be in the same sentence...

I've already sent my vote off a couple weeks back via postal vote..I voted on policies not personalities as I find it impossible to respect any of the main party leaders

I like Corbyn. As a person he seems genuine and well meaning. However my my what a terrible leader. Labour need Kia stama (spelling) in as leader to get some credibility back

I dislike Boris a lot. Horrible man, he was indirectly my boss as mayor of london so I know a lot of people who dealt with him. Pig headed is a good way to sum up. Im also fed up with Tory policies, sod the poor.

Then Jo Swinton , everytime she appears on the telly she just seems to come across as completely mental. Then you have the whole getting into bed with the Tories to get them into power.

Welcome to modern politics I guess .

and so he should bring up his terrorist sympathies - this man wants to lead our country and that is unacceptable

not defending Corbyn..... but he is up against another buffoon whose 'oven ready deal' will end up cutting Ireland away from the rest of the country.
So either way some Irish are stuff. The question is how many.

PS: Whichever way you go, the whole country is currently up the creek...

I think he is. His position on most subjects is 'On the fence' so he can jump down on any side that suits his agenda at that particular time. Just look at his complete indecisive position on Brexit, we all know that he is a Eurosceptic and always has been but its obvious he will say anything that he considers is helping his ambition to be PM.

Once again Tory supporters attacking Corbyn as a person -

Can you tell me exactly why he is an “appalling person” - not many “appalling” people win prestigious peace awards.

Imagine a Tory based paper running an article calling him anti Semitic

How about this picture

This whole thread is getting pathetic but I guess it just mirrors the whole political situation in the country - from Brexit right through to this election grown adults unable to discuss and debate the actually points or manifesto or their policy’s or what they want to do for the future

Lots of trenches where the only response is derogatory comments.

Sometimes I don’t think people can see what’s happened to many people around the country during austerity over the last decade but then it is a forum full of golfers

I haven’t got a club what to do at the next election , the country is a mess , the last ten years under Tory have been awful for millions and we currently have a Prime Minister who highlights all that is wrong in the UK ( the rich just looking after the rich ) - but then we have a Labour Party who have gone too far left even though I think their idea to make it a fairer society is a good idea , an idea to help the people who are struggling - a good number of people have benefited over the ten years from austerity, maybe it’s time to share those benefits.

So where is the middle of the road sensible option ? The one that will look closely at Brexit and actually tell the truth on the benefits of leaving or staying , the one that will bolster our NHS , our Social Services , our defences , our schools whilst ensuring we treat people fairly ?
I guess I’m asking too much to find a political party whose main goal is to serve the nation as a whole.

Some of us right wingers as you call us weren't born yesterday and have witnessed these crackpot schemes before and seen how catastrophic (a well used term by the lefties) they always turn out.

I wasn't born yesterday either, and more damage to our society has been inflicted by Tories than any other source.
More wealth and opportunity has been coralled by the klepto-elites at the same time.
I also have concerns about certain Labour policies, but I am absolutely certain that, based on all evidence from the last 40 years, the Tories will be poisonous for the majority of the people in our country. Because they always have been.

As Frankie Boyle pointed out - Swinson is from Milngavie - folks from that neck of the woods have always fancied themselves as something special but they are in denial as they know that it’s the good folks of the Southside who are actually the special ones ?

We get the Corbyn/IRA stuff from however long ago from the same folks who tell us what Johnson said or did in the past is an irrelevance - excellent...
