Piers Corbyn Arrested

JaneJudge

No you haven't <cringe>

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

... good grief, that really is cringeworthy. And very juvenile.

If that's the level of the 'anti' argument well... words fail me.

I’ve just read the transcript of the rant that got him arrested. In it he refers to ‘my brother and his mates voting against it ‘. When I consulted google, it confirmed Jeremy `Corby, Dianne Abbott, Dawn Butler and Clive Lewis were amongst those voting with the Tory right wing rebels
I realise this could be a separate thread but - that gang are not Labour supporters

Talk about making a noise and contributing nothing

How unnecessarily unkind.

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.

Two thirds of Labour voters voted remain.

Just saying.

Is Jeremy Corbyn a Labour MP? I don’t think he was reinstated and won’t be either over his antisemitism. So he voted against the government as an independent MP.

Regarding Piers, having watched the video (you ‘forced’ me to JaneJudge) he comes across as a complete looney and a dangerous one at that from the latest.

A majority voted for Brexit. Funny how no one admits it now.

A majority voted for Brexit. Funny how no one admits it now.

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.

(sorry, that's a bit of a swerve from the OP)

Who is 'not admitting' that a majority voted for Brexit? All I seem to hear from those who did is 'We won! Get over it!

(and yes, Maisie, on the whole I agree).

I do. ?

I for one have never said those words Doodledog ... so childish.

Doubt that MaizieD as the EU would doubtless extract a price for this ... and it might be controversial.

Judgmental, much?

I’ve got used to the preachy comments on here since the referendum result Baggs.

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

Rather unkind Iam
Any apology on GN threads is usually accepted with good grace...and rightly so.

Par for the course on here isn’t it??

Yes, he stands as an Independent MP.
He must be so relieved now that he didn’t win the last GE, having to manage Brexit, Covid and a public embarrassment of a brother.

Agreed that it is childish, but my point was that far from not admitting that they voted Leave, many Brexiteers have crowed and batted back any criticism or questioning of how the result has benefited us as sour grapes.

I voted Remain, and would do so again. I don't think that Leavers are stupid, although I agree with Maisie that many knew little and cared less about the EU before the referendum. To be fair, that is true of many Remainers, too, although I don't understand why people would vote for a radical change unless they fully understood the implications, and it is becoming increasingly clear that not even the Leave-voting politicians had thought things through.

I'm glad he's been arrested. Let's hope he's appropriately charged.

Absolutely, he is a criminal, inciting violence.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he is the brother of Jeremy Corbyn the papers would not have made anything of his arrest - after all, how better to take another pop at JC - tainted by association

Agreed. Is he in custody, does anyone know?

Kandinsky

Why are lefties so violent?

Not that we want to stero type anyone!!!
Just rememeber Why I gave up on GN

... 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...

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?

You may not have done but I have definitely read them on GN!

Indeed and nothing whatsoever to back up that accusation!
