Piers Corbyn Arrested

It was a thing in the US, I believe, with Trump's supporters saying how violent all the Democrats were. While they, the Trump supporters, were storming the Capitol.

Goodness knows why people fall for it, but there you are.

Let’s not turn this thread into a left/right argument. I know anti vaxxers who are pretty right wing. It’s nothing to do with that. He’s inciting violence against MP’s and he is dangerous.

Things are not going so well for the right wing of the UK government just now. Perhaps that explains the need for some of their followers to clutch at straws to be offensive towards supporters of the left?

As for Piers Corbyn - of course he should have been arrested, and of course he should go to jail if he is found guilty of inciting violence. It doesn't matter in the slightest whose brother he is, though - many families, even those right at the top of society have members who are a total embarrassment, and it doesn't mean that they represent the views or behaviour of the rest of the family.

Well, maybe lefties should stop calling ALL
brexit voters racist, thick, idiots.
That would be a good start.

?

Anyway, apologies for derailing.
I’ll let you get back to discussing Corbyn.

Thank goodness he’s been arrested at last. He’s been involved in various anti lockdown, anti mask, anti vaccine demonstrations pretty well all through the Covid period. I’m surprised he hasn’t seen arrested before.

Some impressionable protesters are quite likely to do as he says. I’m appalled, I really am.

Piers Corbyn is neither a true left nor right wing supporter; he's just a loud mouthed, aggressive yob who hitches himself to wherever he can to shout his ill informed crap the loudest.

Yes - succinctly put Chewbacca

I would hope the full strength of the law came down on him for making such comments irrelevant as to whose brother he is.

well said Chewbacca. He wouldn't even merit a mention let alone an inflammatory rant from Kandisnky if he wasn't the brother of Jeremy Corbyn. He was reported by many people including Yvette Cooper, a raving leftie if every there was one. I know a couple of staunch anti-vaxxers, and they are more on your side of the political divide Kandisnky, I wonder; would you report them if they did the same or or is this just a fine opportunity to rant at those of us who are smart enough to see through Johnson?

Hear, hear!
(dipping toe into political thread--a first. ?)

I'm known for my "succinctedness" Iam64!

I thought the far left and the far right met in the middle?

I only saw him do that fart in your trousers thing on the tube and thought he seemed mentally unwell.

thankfully I missed that one.

No you haven't <cringe>

Surely normal, stable men his age don't do that kind of thing?

This thread will be gone soon…

Before it goes, I'd like to say his arrest hasn't come a moment too soon.
Well done Yvette Cooper.

He must be an embarrassment to his family.

He's an anarchist
Or seriously unwell.

Perhaps both.

I don’t care who he supports, he should be arrested for inciting violence. I do think he might be deranged though and I thought his brother and the company he keeps bad enough.

^He’s an anarchist.
Or seriously unwell.^

Indeed he is. It’s very strange behaviour from a man of his age. I wonder what influenced him that made him into what he is now. I’m glad he’s been arrested and I would be perfectly content if he was sentenced to prison, although I doubt he will be. His risky behaviour isn’t confined to singing childish songs on the tube, from what I’ve heard he was inciting arson, which can of course cause deaths.

Kandinsky

All 'lefties' do no such thing.

There are some who vote Labour (not particularly left wing these days) who may think those things, but by no means all. If you remember, it was Brexit that divided the LP, as the party was in favour of Remaining, but many of the voters were not - a lot of so-called 'Red Wall' seats moved to blue because of Brexit.

Yes you’re absolutely right, many Labour supporters voted brexit.
I meant to say ‘remainers’ - but then it’s not all remainers who think that way either - just some.

... good swerve there

As for Piers Corbyn, the man is both ridiculous and uninformed - not to mention dangerous.

Back in September, he was apparently kicked out of an event after heckling brother Jeremy Corbyn over the Climate crisis.

I suspect the two are not close...

The other good swerve was the ‘apology’ for de-railing the thread. Talk about making a noise and contributing nothing
