I think Corbyn and his band would be perfect to go to Syria and talk to Isis, he could explain that their actions are very foolhardy, they would surely listen to him, he abhors any violence, says there are other channels to pyrsue, talking settles most disputes, let him put his money where his mouth is. They would hang on his every work and ie ace would prevail. The whole world would be grateful to him, he would get the admiration he seeks, not a knighthood of course, the monarchy would have to go, he would then be President of Great Britain. Our very first.. There are so many trouble spots he could intervene with his own special brand of magic his silver tongue would coax the most dissident.. I would sponsor him.

So well put Luckylegs, we face a real & expanding threat which is so totally different from anything that has gone before & whilst I can agree that talking has its place,we are no where near that stage especially with the likes of Isis

devongirl I agree

ab it is hard to see the original post as anything other than a rant IMO

Anniebach Tue 27-Jun-17 10:42:21

A post from a Corbynite is part of a discussion, a post from a poster who does not trust him is a rant ?

devongirl Tue 27-Jun-17 10:39:58

I think posts should have an indicator (blue/red) that they are a rant (right or left! - although they seem to be predominantly right..) so that those of us of a different persuasion can be spared even opening them.

How do you get those emoji things into your posts, whitewave?

Well, he's already won the Gandhi peace prize so you could actually say that he is, in fact, already an ambassador for peace. So, perhaps it's not a silly idea at all.

Only if they praise Corbyn Ana

Aren't opinions allowed any more, whitewave?

Is that a fact ninny? If so can you give me a reference, or is it hot air?

ninny Tue 27-Jun-17 09:41:34

He would just surrender everything we have to the other side and that would be after bowing and scraping to them.
Peace Embassador more like a court jester.

More facts neededsmile

NannyMcPhU Tue 27-Jun-17 07:34:43

We've all seen the real May and the real Corbyn during the election campaign.

One made a right balks up by snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and th public saw through her. The other out performed expectations, and addressed the questions in public debate.

No matter what political colour you are, you have to agree that the above statement is pure fact.

whitewave Tue 27-Jun-17 06:59:19

More hypotheticals so that Corbyn can be attacked.

I csnt take it seriously im afraid as it is all nonsense.

Try discussing facts

suzied Tue 27-Jun-17 06:24:49

Oops sorry I thought you were making a sensible suggestion as a way of achieving peace in the Middle East, oh no you were attacking Corbyn's beliefs.

Luckylegs9 Tue 27-Jun-17 05:52:03

Difference between May and Corbyn. She doesn't say that we don't need armed forces or Trident, that talking solves everything, so why bring her into the equation.

suzied Tue 27-Jun-17 05:35:09

May would be much better with her strong and stable, sound and sensible suggestions. She is quite at ease negotiating with the Saudis and the DUP.

Planned Rigsby? Not everyone plans via PM

Ana Mon 26-Jun-17 17:29:16

Paranoia seems to have struck - or is it just that you can't actually stop people posting what they want to?

That must be very frustrating for a control freak...
