pacifists/conscienti ous objectors/Jeremy Corbyn

JC is a total twerp, he's not even a pacifist just prevaricating and ducking and diving.
Heaven forbid he should ever be PM.

Pacifism has a long and honourable history rooted in Christian values. I am neither a pacifist nor a Christian, but would defend anybody's right to be either.

I agree that I would definitely not want Corbyn in any sort of position to lead on this but I do think that he has been misquoted or quoted out of context. I think he's well meaning but seems to have accidentally emerged into a higher profile job than he ever imagined.

We need strong leadership now.

I'm quite sure Jeremy Corbyn will never be elected prime minister because of his views. The greater majority do not agree with him.

Corbyn did a great job of dissembling and prevaricating when interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg on the news last night.

I abhor violence and war but if someone gunned down my child I would want them despatched into the next world asap that is if I couldn't physically rip their * heads of myself. I'm a Member if the Labour Party- just saying.

The other viewpoint isn't doing too well at freeing the world from violence. At the rate things are going every country will be at war with each other very soon.

I think this was answered for you in some detail on another thread soon.

And mine too Lapwing and roses.

There is no way on this earth I would want JC as the leader of this country. Imagine IS clapping their hands in glee as they make their move unchallenged.

My thoughts exactly Lapwing. but they would hold a series of debates.So that's a comfort!
Soontb I don't think pacifists would offer any violence at all no matter what the provocation ( in theory) but con. Objectors would, but they would cherry pick their fights.

Luckily at the minute the question is academic. But Heaven help us if Labour ever get into power with Corbyn as leader and ISIL still a danger.

Bother! I checked the spelling of conscientious but didnt notice the gap! Apologies!
