Jeremy Corbyn Vol. 2
Discussion

All valid points. Thing is, from the perspective of the country as a whole, the voting population, the fact that he voted against intervention in the middle East does put him in a position of strength.
Really? I think people are now beyond the rose tinted glasses view that peace in the middle east = peace & security at home.W124 said:

I'm not a Corbyn admirer and have never voted for his party but his voting record on military intervention (particularly recent interventions which have had unintended but entirely predictable consequences in terms of Islamic terrorism in the West) does rather make him a trickier target than it may first appear.
Then again, his own words put him firmly in the bullseye.technodup said:
e votes and is against war anywhere, any time. That's kind of the problem, he's a pacifist. He wouldn't engage our forces. He wouldn't use our nuclear weapons. Regardless of the situation or consequences.
He's been asked about it many times and is always slimy and evasive with his answers. And particularly with regard to the IRA. Last week he refused to condemn them, but instead made an equivocation about all acts of terror and the killing of innocent civilians. He pointedly omitted to condemn the killings of our innocent forces and police.
Brillo could absolutely skewer him on it if he wants. And I hope he does, especially given this week's events. Hopefully we see angry, out of control Corby. And the people see him for what he is.
It's the first role of government to defend us. Why the f
k would anyone want him in charge?
His lack of condemnation of the IRA and their actions is telling. The loony mag he was on the board of said in an article after one of the IRA's bombings 'If she wants violence, then violence she will certainly get.'He's been asked about it many times and is always slimy and evasive with his answers.

It's the whole 'man of principle' and 'different' to the rest thing that gets to me.
He only seems to have principles when it suits him. As I understand it he had a consistent record of being anti Eu yet pushed remain. He's anti war/pacifist except when it's against the west. The rich (over 80k) must be taxed to death but he's not rich and earns 140k. The train thing.

Precisely. It is clear to me that we aint seen nothing yet if he got his hands on power. Look at his team. Diane Abbott wouldn't know what the truth was.He only seems to have principles when it suits him. As I understand it he had a consistent record of being anti Eu yet pushed remain.

From the BBC news web site:
"It's understood the Labour leader told the prime minister this afternoon that he intended to resume campaigning on Friday.
Jeremy Corbyn is said to have dicussed the issue with Theresa May just after one o'clock today.
He apparently told Mrs May that any further delay "risked undermining the democratic process".
Mr Corbyn is expected to make a campaign speech on Friday, but it is likely to be more restrained and not "full-on attack".
Forget about terrorist threats and what happened in Manchester...what a guy!

In fairness to all, I think that waiting until next Tuesday is too long. Friday morning would be four nights and three days since the attack."It's understood the Labour leader told the prime minister this afternoon that he intended to resume campaigning on Friday.

When is / was Brillo going to interview him or is it still taking place ?
If the chat has been sidelined I do hope that it is rearranged for a later date.
Cheers,
Tony
The original timetable had him on as the last of the major party leaders. It's probably slipped a few days.If the chat has been sidelined I do hope that it is rearranged for a later date.
Cheers,
Tony

Unbelievable. I didn't even bother commenting, only to say "good for you, let's see what happens on 8 June".
Rainbows and unicorns.

what a dick! That pillock is on BBV TVB right now...... painting the sad picture of Manchester - now he's warming up to his big leftist idealism.
He's speaking about solidarity and human warmth as if he's the only one - he just doesn't get the fact that the terrorists don't share the same thoughts!
Idiot.

Idiot.
More negative 'we won't cut services" "the current approach isn't working" .... "prison reform" .... (this worries the st out of me, next he'll be letting out the bad guys).
And he didn't have the balls to take questions after his speech.
Truly a perpetual opposition leader if ever there was one.
