Piers Corbyn Arrested

Oh such kindness and tolerance to Kadinsky on this thread so heartening to see.
Just to let you know this statement is dripping with irony!
In fact l am unsubscribing to gransnet.Not sure your back biting and general nastiness was quite what l was expecting on here.

That’s fine, Kandinsky made a comment stating lefties are violent. BUt I guess you think that was Ok.

Oh I forgot you’re flouncing ……
Merry Christmas.

Hurrah, I hope they lock him up for a few years.

Really?

Did you know Mr and Mrs Corbyn Senior personally? How do you know what kind of parents they were?

Your post is quite offensive.

Piers Corbyn is an extremist and not typical of most lefties.

I agree but I'm not quite sure what he is, he seems more intent on anarchy, rabble rousing and attention-seeking to me and now he thinks he's found a cause.

If it wasn't the virus he may have found another one.

... I've just read a comment on Facebook - the woman called him a "Legend" and thanked him for his 'support'.

I thought at first it was sarcasm / irony - but looked at her profile. It wasn't.

I don't know if she's seen the video of him and his rag-tag-and-bobtail bunch of failed 'rappers' on the tube rapping about farting in trousers, but I posted it to her in response - so she could take a good look at her "legend" in action.

... there's been no response...

Well, it wasn’t me, if that's what your suggesting. He not a "Legend" Nor are all lefties violent. Wasn’t Hitler from the right? Won’t be commenting or reading further.

I mean You’re before anyone comments on my grammar

Don't know if you will or won't read this but, no, I wasn't suggesting it was you!

Why on earth would you even think that?

It was just some random woman on FB whose name I can't even remember.

... and if you hadn't corrected your grammar I wouldn't have even noticed... let alone comment on it.

Sorry I wasn’t blaming you for the grammar thing I know it wasnt you, that was general comment before anyone did.( It really hurts. I have a dregree but I have learning difficulities I dont see my mistakes). I got anxious while posting and it came out wrong sorry.I think I should just leave again

No, don't leave.

If anyone picks you up on your grammar or spelling - they are showing themselves up, not you.

I think that most of the people who voted for Brexit weren't much interested in the EU before the referendum campaign, had very little idea of how the EU actually 'worked' and were wide open to be stirred up by demagoguery.Having registered their vote and voted for Johnson, who has 'got Brexit done', they have lapsed into their usual state of indifference and can be easily persuaded that all the UK'ss woes are a result of covid. I suspect that we could slide back into the Single market without a squeak from most of them.

Judgmental, much?

Precisely! No wonder no one in their right minds votes for the bigoted racist socialists who insist on making derogatory comments about others.

Sounds as if Piers Corbyn should be sectioned for everybody’s safety.

Good God!

What was bigoted or racist about my comment? Decades of polling shows that most of the UK population was indifferent to the EU pre 2016.

Please don't leave because of dyslexia or another learning difficulty. It is very easy to pick holes in someone's grammar when you doesn't have those difficulties yourself. You shouldn't be made to feel anxious when you post, and people should think twice before drawing attention to 'mistakes', as doing so is discriminatory, unless the mistakes confuse what you are saying, in which case a simple request for clarification should suffice.

There are criminals and people who make ill-considered remarks in public in all walks of life and of every politcal and religious observance that the world has ever heard of.

We are surely all old enough to remember hearing Enoch Powell and Ian Paisley to name two.

Could we please try to discuss topics without descending to the level of insults used by children in a school-yard when we disagree with each other?

Of course P Corbyn should be charged with inciting violence, etc., and in my opinion he's a nutter. Makes me wonder about other members of the family. Thank God JC never became PM. If Boris can make such a mess just imagine that alternative with Brexit and the pandemic. Would we ever have got a vaccine roll out underway?

I've a relative who behaves similarly to PC - though he doesn't advocate violence. He just rants, and no-one is ever quite sure what he's on about

The rest of the family are not like him - and have little to do with him.

So your comment about the "rest of the family" is uncalled for IMO. Once a child reaches adulthood, they go their own way.

And plenty of families have odd-balls among their members. From all levels of society.

I suppose I must be an extremist. But if you combine the activity of these extremists with intensive care beds being blocked by antivaxers WITH COVID perhaps they should all be arrested and given either prison or community orders that can be progressively relaxed as they take their 1st, 2nd and booster jabs

Thank you for your reply, & I’m so sorry your grammar was picked on. It’s funny because spelling & grammar is not something I even notice ( unless it’s really really really bad ) but even then I wouldn’t comment.
I agree with a lot of what you said & I’m sorry if my post annoyed you. Of course not all lefties are violent, just like not all right wingers are uncaring , money oriented, anti immigrant etc etc.
The point I was trying to make is that left wingers often point the finger at right wingers ( or anyone who isn’t them ) for being uncaring, whilst simultaneously being quite unpleasant themselves.
Anyway, hope you have a good Christmas.

No, your post saddened me, it didn’t annoy me.
I think just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean its ok. I think we should speak up against it. However, you have had the respect and decency to apologize and explain and for that I applaud you. Thank you and Merry Christmas

I think she means you,

? ?

Ah. Quite possibly.

All I did was point out that Jezza is not Piers' keeper.

Oh well. I shall exercise my democratic right to ignore her request to go away. I've got too much on at the minute.

If Piers Corbyn is found guilty of committing a crime then he should be dealt with by our judicial system whoever he is related to.

I don't think the fact he's the brother of Jeremy will have much bearing on the judgement!

I think Piers Corbyn is, if anything, an anarchist!
