Piers Corbyn Arrested

thankfully I missed that one.

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.

I'm known for my "succinctedness" Iam64!

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.

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

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?

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

Yes - succinctly put Chewbacca

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.

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

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.

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

?

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

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.

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.

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.

About time he was arrested. He was supposed to have been fined £10,000 earlier in the year. Did he ever pay it?

Kandinsky what ridiculous remarks they says more about you and your prejudices
You are so scathing in your generalising it’s not worth talking to you it shows such ignorance on your part

I’m not trying to come across as anything, I’m just giving an opinion on how I see things.

Whereas you are coming across really well kandinsky

This thread will be gone soon…

yet so many of them are just sneering. Pompous, violent idiots. For example ??

I am also glad he has been arrested. As I don’t support the current government am I considered a leftie on GN ?
I think the comment about lefties being violent is ridiculous, I’d say most conscientious objectors and people working for peace have been lefties.
I think we could all name right and far right leaders and regimes which have been very violent too.

Seriously Kandinsky that was an ill considered post.

Why are lefties so violent?

They’re full of angst. You only have to look at the politics threads on here ?

So unpleasant, especially when the peaceful Jo Cox was murdered by an extreme right wing idiot. Yvette Cooper reported Piers Corbyn’s statements to the
Police. Is she a violent leftie?
