Aimed at the Wrong People?

niggly surely there was nothing to prevent her praying in private and also talking to survivors??

Not me annie, although I have religious doubts I am certainly not an atheist. To me praying in private for the poor souls who were caught up in this terrible catastrophe, instead of grabbing a photo opportunity to prove to the population how much much you care, is a far more sincere gesture. Pied Piper indeed!

Better than TM who doesn't say anything at all most of the time!

Pied piper

Agree Annie ,I do think Corbyn is well versed in pulling the wool ohhps sorry playing to the crowd & saying what they want to hear, very dangerous man !

This I just don't understand, Corbyn was invited by a labour supporter , no one knows if May would have attended if invited, why must leaders do publicity ,nit they don't they are critcised. Corbyn did his hug and feeling pain bit for the cameras , his choice. May attended prayers for the victim, for me she did care for the victims of the fire, he chose to hug she chose to pray, as the majority here are atheists they will ridicule this sadly

The thing is thoug, we don't know what would have happened if TM had been invited, whether she would have accepted or not, and if not, why not.

Well who knows Devongirl, but that's not really the point is it, the point is some can do no wrong & othes can do no right in various people's minds, that was my point really , I would have had respect for Mr Corbyn IF he had said ( for example) this is neither the time nor the place to make a political speech but thank you for the offer, I will toodle of to my own cuckoo land now?

Really is it likely that TM would have accepted? So tomparison is pointless surely.

I've nearly 'got up out of my seat' several times after reading some of the postings.
But thankfully I restrained myself

The point is , TM would with out a doubt have been slated given similar circumstances . Which ever party people support , it is human nature to do down the opposition. I abhor this hero worship evangelistic outlook, it usually ends badly , think Billy Graham !!

He could have said no it was neither appropriate nor the time or the place. I would have more respect if he had said no, & it is more than likely that he knew he would be invited/ allowed an opportunity to make a speech .

JC , nor anyone else "needs" to make a speech. he was invited by the organisers, and accepted. People chose, or not, to attend said speech. people can chose, or not, to agree with it. End of.

Whatever!

Nanny I tried not to reply, but I just will point out that there is only one person being rude & it is not me. You have your point of view ,it is not the same as mine .that is what this site (I spelt that correctly I think) is supposed to be about .

Be as rude as you like norose4 you are obviously as unable to follow my thought processes as you are to punctuate correctly. But I don't hold that against you.

Plus in the unlikely event that Theresa May had done the same thing one can only imagine the derision & vitriol that would have come her way, would have been quite a spectacle though?

Ummm not being rude Nanny, but I think you have missed the point,.thats exactly what I am saying ,the fact that I find it devious is not the point

Well you're entitled to free speech too norose4 - pity you don't extend that right to those you disagree with.

It is what I believe Nanny, there is always a price to pay JC chose to use his freedom of speech to make a speech , he faces criticism because of that, that's the price & gamble he choose to make I call it cynical manipulation clever, but cynical & devious not traits I admire

The price for free speech is surely having to be tolerant of other people's free speech, just as the price of every right is an equal and opposite responsibility.

Stop spouting silly clichés norose4. I asked about free speech.

well in T in the Park they send giant dump lorries and good stuff to charity . passed the area amd never seen anything like.. Acres.

Nothing is ever free, there is always a price to pay in one form or another
