Corbyn has made it quite clear, what he and his close followers feel about our Queen and Armed Forces, do can those that support him eventually want a country with a President and no Armed Forces? This is how it looks. Why hadn't he the guts to just come out with it?

So you vast knowledge stretches to a Tory LP in Wales Daphne? I am in awe

paddyann Sun 25-Jun-17 22:19:55

can someone tell me when Armed Forces day started,It wasn't around when I was young I'm sure.Is it to counteract the damage done to the reputation of British forces by the illegal wars the government has involved them in in recent years?Seems to me it's like those parades of troops and
machinery in NK or the old Soviet Union ....and WE never thought those were a good idea ....did we?

Anniebach Your local Conservative party would love you.

GillT57 Sun 25-Jun-17 22:17:18

Ruth 1958 you are spewing out a lot of nasty, ill informed nonsense. I do not think that Corbyn is the answer to the problems we are facing due to the Tory party's inability to sort out it's infighting..... but yet again, the right wing press is churning out the same old rubbish about him.

Anniebach Sun 25-Jun-17 22:11:41

So true norose, very much like The Billy Graham rallies, mass hysteria and adoration to a man who was more concerned with self than the cause he alleged he was reoresenting, in fact more than very much like

I do think the leader of the official oposition party should have shown respect for the Armed Forces not trotted of to promote himself at a pop concert.

...and to answer the OP, yes, he won't sing our National Anthem, great hey?A possible Prime Minister who won't sing the words of his own country's National anthem.Mind you, as we have seen, his principles do change and get watered down, so he will think it worth singing if he can be made PM.You can bet on it.

He certainly has been around on the back benches for a long time ( there is a good reason he was never in the Cabinet!) Through a stupid mistake of including him on the ballot papers which Labour MP's themselves say was 'moronic' and thrusting him forward to be voted for all those £3 Labour members, now Labour is stuck with him.

He & his campaign remind me of the Billy Graham days false promises , mass histerior & fawning adulation , definitely not to be trusted !

Has Santa Claus become a public sector worker?

mcem Sun 25-Jun-17 16:34:10

Well ruth it's interesting to see you label virtually everyone who works in the public sector as red red red.

So should we simply get rid of them all?
Good to know that those of us who spent our lives in medicine,education and social work are appreciated. What about other public sector workers you didn't mention like firefighters and police officers?

Oh and, by the way, how do you think you'd cope without them all.

Was your lifetime contribution to society far more valuable than any of those you so roundly criticize?

Ruth1958 Sun 25-Jun-17 16:26:18

Nor me!

Ruth1958 Sun 25-Jun-17 16:25:45

Clash of civilisations is very, very difficult ....who can truly prevent the type of murder we have seen in the last month. Blair is very quiet!

Anniebach Sun 25-Jun-17 16:24:46

Whitewave, a good way to get voters on your side, I am not fully committed to this campaign

Ruth1958 Sun 25-Jun-17 16:18:40

I'm sorry you are not able to keep up

Ruth1958 Sun 25-Jun-17 16:18:07

You are free to watch telly tubbies

whitewave Sun 25-Jun-17 16:17:04

Ruth1958 Sun 25-Jun-17 16:16:26

No they just wanted control of UK back

Ruth1958 Sun 25-Jun-17 16:15:24

You really do need to understand Corbyn has been around for a long time...he's not new...there is Soooo oo much information ..just Google it...make sure you choose a reliable source. He's about as truthful as our friend Dddddiiiane Abbot?????

Ps there has just been an election too

whitewave Sun 25-Jun-17 16:14:52

Um annie false facts I'm afraid.

Corbyn said throughout the referendum that he was 70% remain as there were issues he found difficult with the EU.
A situation millions found they agreed with.

MamaCaz Sun 25-Jun-17 16:13:53

Our PM supporting those who keep us safe??? Try telling that to the police!

Anniebach Sun 25-Jun-17 16:12:20

Corbyn wanted out of the EU so didn't even take part in tv debates , yep man of honour

Ruth1958 Sun 25-Jun-17 16:11:37

He won't even sing the national anthem....says a great deal

Anniebach Sun 25-Jun-17 16:11:13

Sin Fein MP's will not take their seats in parliament because they want shot of queenie. Corbyn man of honour has been swearing allegiance to her since 1983 yet wants rid of her ,

Ruth1958 Sun 25-Jun-17 16:10:20

The messiah was a man called Jesus Christ....Corbyn is an atheist....I dont think people have a clue about anything anymore....let's thank the left wing teachers, social workers, NHS workers ...red, red, red, militant, undemocratic and of course the BBC propaganda machine!?

Ruth1958 Sun 25-Jun-17 16:06:41

He, Corbyn is despicable, while he sits spewing guff our PM is supporting those who keep us safe. While Red Len earns £140000 and had a HUGE pay rise and of course lives in a mansion ...we are supposed to believe these 'all men are equal, but of course some are just more equal than others'....need I say more?
