Explains much Ana, well not the personality bit

Sorry! I did not answer your questions to me on Tuesday so this might answer them.

I believe the same amount was in the first link . Corbyn did the programmes covering for the absence of the usual shows host , George Galloway. The programme was called 'Comment' on the Iran State run Press TV

What people make of what his purpose for being on the programme was and listening to the interviews Corbyn carried out I will leave up to them to assess. I have made my own mind up by watching them, listening to him speak on Russia Today and his dialogue over many years as an MP in the public eye in the UK.

You'd made your mind up about Corbyn anyway, POGS, long before you trawled about Iran.

I presume you also deplore Jack Straw and Hilary Benn for going to Iran with him.

A spokesman for Mr Corbyn said: ‘His involvement with Press TV allowed him to deplore all human rights abuses, which he has consistently raised with Iran, including on a visit to Tehran with Jack Straw in 2015. He also met Iran’s foreign minister with Hilary Benn where once again human rights were raised. Jeremy’s involvement with Press TV ended when changes to the way they were operating meant he could not participate without political interference.’

You are wasting you time dgem some of these people are not capable of rational thought hence posting a link from The Daily Fail. I wouldn`t use even it for loo paper .

That is a very rude post f77ms.

durhamjen posts links from the Daily Mail herself on occasion.

Well I can't argue I had made my mind up about Corbyn DJ but I trawled, looked up as I prefer to say, the internet when the Iran TV matter came up on one of the political programmes mentioned it 'months ago ' (might have been Newsnight or Daily Politics, maybe even the first Labour Leadership Contest).

I also listened to Corbyn speaking on Press t.v when Cameron mentioned Corbyn's thoughts on the death of Bin Laden 'months ago' in Parliament as it was easy to find.

As for Jack Straw and Hilary Benn, no doubt MP's from other political parties, who have gone to Iran on official business I have no thought. I dare say however they would not do as Galloway and Corbyn have been happy to do and presented/present a programme for the State of Iran. I only know of one more British MP that has been happy to be connected to Press TV and that was Lembit Opik. Iran in those days were no friends of the west and it's human rights were dire, another reason I find it incompatible with Corbyn's persona to be associated with it.

Corbyn may have good points to raise over many aspects of the Middle East but it is his ease over the company he keeps that I find does him no favours. Obviously you and others have no problem in that direction so I guess each to his/her own.

I raised the Iran TV connection in response to the attacks on Owen Smith and his credentials and for the life of me I know which one I prefer, another case of each to his/her own.

Hmmm. I wonder - should someone who has posted that people are incapable of rational thought also be posting on another thread "I have been looking around for a forum where people are more polite, less argumentative not so self righteous" and so she is thinking of leaving?

A spokesman for Mr Corbyn......etc, is actually a paragraph from POGS' link.
You didn't know, Ana? You don't read POGS' links?
I have a peg on my nose, f77.

I didn't know what?

Talking in riddles again...

Is this link from the Guardian more suitable for you. Or is it more akin to the decent Labour MP's , easy to chuck under the bus for all things Corbyn must only be of the worthy note and dare not be contentious.

By raising the link to the Daily Mail as your problem shows a lack of the ability to engage in debate with posters, that is a point I have mentioned before on threads. This is not only a Daily Mail story it has been spoken of before they ran it.

Suppose £20,000 is peanuts to the wealthy. Strange to charge a fee to deplore human rights abuses

DJ

I haven't a clue what your post to Ana means?

Best not to wear a peg on ones nose, if really necessary best remove it before eating

Probably stops the flow of blood to the brain as well, resulting in confused thought function.

Possibly Ana, or perhaps - it was just a joke !

Have you found the forum you were thinking of searching for f77,? Where people are more polite?

Virgin Trains are putting their fares up again. There was a report on the BBC just now, but Virgin would not let the BBC report from York Station.
Since when did Virgin own York Station?

Apparently the Labour Party leadership has sent out a message to it members saying that "Labour has teamed up with Virgin Trains to offer an executive style discount on rail travel to all attendees of Annual Conference Liverpool 2016"!

Must have made up with Branson then!

Aw how sweet , so he isn't going to sue Branson

Failed to get Private Eye, who is Anthony Casey?

They have been offering cutprice tickets since 30th June.
I don't think Branson would dare take the offer down. 20% off.

Is Brasin afraid of the power of Momentum? Must be if he - wouldn't dare

What's all this peg on nose stuff about? Is it a new Corbyn driven directive?
