Jeremy Corbyn

trisher this thread title ? Jeremy Corbyn’ .

Sinn Fein said if Corbyn was to win an election they will consider taking their seats in Westminster

Whilst you are talking about support for terrorism Annie perhaps you should take a good look at the party currently running this country- the DUP.
The following year, Ulster Resistance joined forces with the two established loyalist paramilitary groups, the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and Ulster Defence Association (UDA), to smuggle an enormous arsenal of weapons into the province, including about 200 Czech-made assault rifles called VZ58s and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition

Over the next 17 years, these VZ58s would be used in the murder or attempted murder of about 70 people in Northern Ireland. In the early 90s, they were used in three massacres: gunmen stood at the doors of a bookmaker’s shop and two bars, and simply sprayed the room. Nineteen people died and 27 were wounded.

Today, the DUP is a party that prides itself on its robust approach to law-and-order issues; the criminal justice section of its website declares that “there must be no amnesty for wrongdoers; there must be no rewriting of the past”. On Monday it completed its deal to prop up the minority Conservative government in return for £1bn of extra funding for Northern Ireland.

But the party continues to be haunted by the role that its hierarchy played in setting up Ulster Resistance, and the way in which this group helped to illegally import the deadly haul of VZ58s. Sammy Wilson is now the DUP MP for East Antrim. Nigel Dodds is now MP for Belfast North and leader of the party’s 10 Westminster MPs.

I agree Corbyn has done good, he fought to have a IRA member imprisoned for murder be classed ‘a political prisoner ‘. He cared so much for the suffering following the Brighton bombing he invited members of the IRA to Westminster. He honoured the terrorists who murdered Israeli Olympic athletes by attending a wreath laying ceremony and offered his apologies when he was too busy to accept an invitation to visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Palastine.

Well obviously he was involved and he supported Mo Mowlam. Perhaps those who deny this are just afraid to acknowledge any good that Corbyn has done, they are so busy blackening his name. 2 peace prizes did not come from not being involved.

The claim that Corbyn secured peace in NI was claimed ages ago by a poster ,no longer posting. At that time I telephoned someone who was very much involved , he roared with laughter .

corbyn secured peace in NI

Seriously what planet are some on!!

GrannyGravy

I know how that feels!

GracesGran

Yes very successful and employing others,

despite this current chancellor and the previous one penalising hard working contractors with the IR33 nonsense that has now been legally challenged.

As I said not impressed with this Tory lot but despite that Jeremy terrifies me.,

For all his faults over Iraq Blaire understood that taxing the better off until they emigrate or simply hide their wealth is a stupid failed policy.

"You clearly have never run a small business ..." Mycatisahacker (Fri 03-May-19 13:48:32)

I clearly ran a successful one. How about you?

I was agreeing with you Mycatisahacker, and referring to Granys post. Sorry for confusion I am "multi-tasking" and not successfully!!!

I totally agree it was a massive mistake.

Corbyn secured peace in N.I. ? Not true

Yes and it was a massive mistake??? Who says it wasn’t

Mycatisahacker some people have short and selective memories.

Labour under Blair took us into the Iraq war.

tricher

What part of an unprovoked chemical weapon attack on our country killing a British citizen have you forgotten when you say does anyone seriously think Russia would attack us

They did!!!

Grany of course if we all agreed it would be a Boring thread

Mycatisahacker Hi we are clearly not going to agree so let's agree to disagree ok

Grany

A safe constituency and a diligent MP does not a Home Secretary make. Clearly she’s not up to the front bench.

Exactly Bridgit and GG

They are both utterly useless.,

Did someone actually say Abbott was an intellectual please tell my that’s a joke. The woman lacks basic year 5 maths skills and is a racist

Anniebach Yes that how he secured the peace process in NIreland by talking.

Let’s hope the peacemaker isn’t Corbyn, he only speaks to one side

GrannyGravy13 Who said we would not be armed and ready Labour would take all measures necessary to protect our country and keep us safe. Also with a peacemaker there would not be unnessessary involvement in other countries as in the Iraq war.

As for having a dig at Diane Abbot seems some people think it is fair game she has had more abuse thrown at her than any other politition still carrys on working hard for her constituents This unfair she is intelligent she went to grammar school Cambridge and then fast tracked to top job in civil service before becoming the first black woman to become an MP

gillybob you are not idiots just conscientious, we have friends who lost everything to pay off their debts due to others defaulting on them. It’s bloody heartbreaking.

We shouldn’t gone bust like plenty others did GG but we struggled on . Idiots that we are !

To those complaining about the amount of council tax they are charged. This is the direct result of cuts to government funding to councils

I’m afraid I disagree trisher our council has already cut services to the bone . Closed every community centre . Wasting money on vanity road programs, traffic lights and bus lanes . Over a £million spent on our town hall, free Pilates and Yoga sessions for their employees , the most expensive new furniture , fancy coffee machines etc. for which money was no object, 12 of the highest paid LA executives in the country and they have the bloody cheek to raise council tax by 5.9% !

gillybob The Financial crash was bloody grim, there by they grace of god!!!!
