Jeremy Corbyn

[SocketRocket]

Getting back on topic a good read from Craig Murray

IMO he is basically saying that many folk in England are struggling to find a party to support.

Thanks for telling us that, we would never have known.

When did Trotskyites get swapped for the term 'Progressive'?

I see Jez has made a comment re this country and terrorism.

Strange thing is that him having a chance of being primeminister worries me more than any terrorist.

Absolutely. I love it when these folk tell me what I am thinking....

.....and someone who played a significant part in a peaceful resolution to the NI 'Troubles'.

Absolute tosh. An active member of troops out. Nothing to do with any peace process. And a very minor thorn in the side of those trying to negotiate peace.

Mo Mowlem!

Perhaps one of the greatest politicians to ever grace Westminster, sadly taken too soon.

Jeremy Who? Oh, that tosser! Instrumental in wrecking a great party.

That would be the party who have a record number of members.:lol:

Most in a demographic age group unlikely to vote.

 

[Old Skier]

Jeeza finally admits he never had anything to do with the peace process.

 

[Hobbit]

Don't be anymore obtuse than you already are, its becoming decidedly wearing. Record numbers? Yeh, that'll get them elected with a massive majority won't it? Even by narrowing the gap as you've pointed out as some sort of hallelujah moment is still going to see them in opposition.

The stats for popularity between Corbyn and May haven't changed at all.

Currently getting a roasting off Andrew Neill on bbc1 but staying cool under pressure and answering all questions put, not deflecting any, calm and assured, unflustered, not like his primary opponent! Just saying!

Hardly gave a straight answer all the way through. How many times did Andrew Neil ask him what his position was on nuclear weapons and trident? How many times did he ask him why he refused to condemn the IRA? And why had he said 'we' should honour the IRA dead?

His answer to the first one above, repeatedly was to refer to Labour's position. He didn't answer the second two, preferring to generalise along the lines of wanting peace. Everyone wants peace... it was trite at best.

Were you watching it with the sound off?

He never said honour the IRA dead......he said all of the people [on both sides] killed in the 'Troubles'.
Of course many anti Jeremey souls interpreted that as supporting the IRA dead.

You need to get your facts right. To quote CORBYN, when he stood at the Wolfe Tone society meeting in May 1987, "I am happy to commemorate all those who died fighting for Irish independence." His words.

Have you got any flimsy defence for that, or did he "misspoke?"

The guy has no idea of what was going on and continues to post in the hope he catches a bite.

30 years ago. Well done.
Some of us have moved on.

Adams and McGuiness were elected UK MP's and have shaken the Queens hand.

And when asked several times yesterday by Andrew Neil he still wouldn't condemn the IRA. Obviously Corbyn hasn't moved on.

You only have to go back 3 years to read about his links to Hamas, and the £thousands in gifts given to him for his support. You only have to go back 2 years to see he was working with Interpal, Hamas's funding organisation, who also publish anti-Semitism.

Next month he's scheduled to speak at a MEMO meeting, an organisation he's had numerous dealings with and received money from. The 2 leaders of MEMO are also senior figures in Hamas.

If you think Corbyn is a safe pair of hands you are sadly deluded.

I'll vote Labour again when Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott are gone, not before.

Did I completely make it up, or did he not unequivocally condemn both sides of the Troubles? How do you reconcile that with not condemning one of them?
