Re: Labour Leadership Contest
How accurate is the Telegraph , Wyn ?
The report speaks of eight IRA members killed by the SAS in an ambush in Gibraltar. Not true . People "higher up" than Jeremy Corbyn have met Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams...... The Queen also met Martin McGuinness ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgVMBC2CvNA And Prince Charles met Gerry Adams..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYpdKWIEUO8 And the Telegraph's biography of Jeremy Corbyn in 60 seconds.....well , not worthy of comment . |
Re: Labour Leadership Contest
She had to as part of her job spec, tied on with Peace Agreement, he did it because he wants to...it embelishes his trendy chic radical pretensions. As for the SAS ambush and killing of the IRA, you're right, the eight were killed in Co. Antrim and three in Gibraltar the year after.

Re: Labour Leadership Contest
And Ian Duncan Smith continues to make his cull ….
Thousands have died after being found fit for work, DWP figures show | Society | The Guardian by taking an amalgam of ideas from Mad Max, Mein Kampf and Nietzsche, putting them in a bag, shaking them up and employing a pay by results French company called Atos. That targets those with terminal illnesses who are passed as fit because they can walk a few yards or raise their hands above their heads. And don’t even get me started on a bedroom tax that forces people out of their family homes. This is someone who feels the need to distinguish himself by using his middle name to elevate himself from all the other bog standard, ordinary Ian Smiths out there. I’m not one of those people….Nyah Nyah I have a different name and I'm better!… I’m not prone to violence but I would cheerily deck this muppet with a wheel brace and watch while he waited for an ambulance to take him to an overworked (or closed) casualty department.. Meanwhile Cameron gives an election promise to reduce peerages yet adds more during his tenure as PM than Thatcher…and to add insult to injury his latest addition includes the guy who ripped us all off by claiming a couple of grand to clean his moat….(Hands up everyone who told their kids that honesty was the best policy) You tories do know that if they all turned up to ‘the house’, there wouldn’t be enough seats for them, then again if they do turn up and fall asleep for an hour or so for a day….they still earn around four times as much as someone on jobseekers allowance gets a week…and they can claim expenses!! But hey..lets take the mick out of a guy who likes the idea of vulnerable women feeling safe on trains....(here's a non PC view...ask any young woman if they'd feel safe walking their dog through corporation park in Blackburn after dark) Despite everything that is going on our MP who, was voted in under the 'labour' tag, continues to constantly bang on about fixed odds betting terminals, (which incidentally are a personal choice like smoking, taking drugs and drinking) and his only comment on the leadership election... Graham Jones @GrahamJones_MP Aug 23 Traditional Labour values are work, personal responsibility, community & a safety net. Not 1970's militant, hard left London liberalism. Obviously someone who has absolutely no idea about the meaning of 'traditional', 'labour' and 'values'!! |
Re: Labour Leadership Contest
I've not been following it but I wouldn't be surprised if they picked a woman. Positive discrimination appears to be the flavour of the day in politics for the last few years

Re: Labour Leadership Contest
somebody must be scared of Corbyn after being discredited in the Murdoch press.he is left of left but some of his policies are pro-British bringing back British rail and bringing the utilities back into public yes British public ownership etc people say it will be impossible but it wont be remember the east line brought £420 million in for the tax payer and the Tories rushed through the franchise last year. i would actually leave the European union if this is what it would take to get the utilities back into British government ownership. plus if this what it takes to ween voters in Scotland off the nationalists i am all for it. so its Corbyn for me.

Re: Labour Leadership Contest
So presumably, all those who have expressed support for Corbyn are in favour of us scrapping our nuclear deterrent? I never realised Accyweb was such a hotbed of unilateralism!
|
Re: Labour Leadership Contest
Isn't the Scottish Crone singing from the same hymn sheet over nuclear weapons?
|
Re: Labour Leadership Contest
She certainly is, Barrie; the problem is that, as far as I can see, the majority of the electorate and even the majority of the Parliamentary Labour Party aren't in favour of unilaterally scrapping our nuclear deterrent at the moment, so if Comrade Corbyn is elected leader, he may have his work cut out!
|
Re: Labour Leadership Contest
Well i agree the majority i speak with, have no wish to do away with our nuclear deterrent, but doubt very much Corbyn will try to do away wi it if elected, Thing is as i see it, too many are being brainwashed wi the media, the normal tactic used, I have no doubt at all that would have certainly been on his agenda a few years ago, but he dont strike me as stupid, though many of the public do.:D

Re: Labour Leadership Contest
You don't have to be "brainwashed" to see that Corbyn is a committed unilateralist and has been for his whole political life. One thing I will say about the man is that he sticks to his principles absolutely, unlike many others in Parliament who alter their views for the sake of political expediency. To think that if he becomes leader, he will then jetison one of his most cherished beliefs - that nuclear weapons are immoral - is totally and utterly wrong, in my view.
|
Re: Labour Leadership Contest
He will stick to his principles knowing that by doing so he will garner a substantial amount of support from everyone with CND leanings
|
Re: Labour Leadership Contest
I shall wait and see if hes elected, I make my own mind up,not let the press do it.
|
Re: Labour Leadership Contest
Incidentally, if he is elected leader, I can't wait until he announces his views on immigration. We'll see how his disciples on here react to them!
