    Unfortunately I know quite a few 'no surrender' types. They think serving is supporting Rangers over Celtic.

    Our crimes in Ireland are terribly underplayed (and the Thatcher government dealing directly with the terrorists totally ignored). I was in Belfast a couple of months ago and chatting to a management consultant, took quite a few pints for the fellow to finish his tirade over our media and understanding of history.

    Then you're clearer just a ranter on this issue. That he met both sides demonstrates his aim.

    Corbyn is a serial rebel. A serial antagonist.
    That is his schtick.

    If the mainstream is into, he is opposed to it.
    So if people are anti-IRA, he is pro.
    If they are anti-hamas, he is pro.

    And the reason he is pro these people, is not because of anything they do or do not do.
    It is because he is anti mainstream.
    It's us he hates, not them he loves.

    So being seen with the IRA sends the signal that we can't be trusted.
    Or as he would perhaps see it, sends the signal that mainstream thinking is to be challenged.

    That there are two sides to every story.


    And this is a problem for him now.
    As party leader of a mainstream party all this is catching up with him.
    He simply can't be anti-mainstream and attract the mainstream support he needs to take office.

    He is conflicted.

    So the whole schtick that has carried him all the way in his life to this point, his unique selling point, the thing about him that self distinguishes him from the rest...
    Is his limitation.


    For myself, there are indeed two sides to every story.
    The problem is, Corbyn refuses to choose my side. Because he is a serial antagonist.

    Ao I don't mind that he chooses to hear both sides but at the end of it, he needs to choose my side. And he doesn't.
    At best he attempts to sit on the fence.

    And on issues like the IRA. On issues of war, there is no sitting on the fence. You are with me, or you are not.

    You cannot sit on the fence over people trying to kill me and be my leader.
    I will not follow you. You do not have my back.

    I
    n battle the only people welcome under my flag are those who will fight beside me.
    It's taken Corbyn a lifetime to learn this lesson. What a dumb arse.

    Crikey, you couldn't be more sheep in your comment. Corbyn rebels against the obvious (e.g. apartheid). He also rebels against things alien to the left (e.g. Iraqi war).

    I appreciate you're an extreme right winger, but couldn't you do it with a little more intelligence so you don't fit cliche?

    You are clearly confused or being obstreperous on purpose. If you don't like something, it doesn't mean it was a rant. I pointed out that Corbyn is an IRA sympathiser because he wouldn't directly denounce the IRA and claimed he didn't meet any IRA members. I pointed out an interview where he clearly admitted he did.

    For some reason with you, it's if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's a dog.

    If you feel he directly denounced the IRA and claims he never met any Sinn Fein IRA members, then show your confident evidence. So you will find it's just YOU ranting on.

    I merely referred to the stupidity of your comment. That he met both Republican and Unionist shows his aim.

    The real question is why your position is sheep? Why do you whinge at Corbyn for talking to all of the Irish politicians but ignore Thatcher's government talking directly to the IRA? Its like you can't consider honesty. I'm sure that's just a simple error!

    I'm sure you're a mathematician. You keep going off on a tangent. Now we're onto Thatcher. It's like pulling teeth.

    Nope. A mere person that knows you're talking 'media driven' tosh.

    You didn't answer the question. Why do you whinge at Corbyn for talking to all of the Irish politicians but ignore Thatcher's government talking directly to the IRA? They occurred during a similar time frame.

    So what? He's never going to get elected, he's destroyed the Labour Party, people are walking, people are talking. Britain is safe from Jeremy Corbyn/Momentum from ever taking power.

    He's toxic now, and with good cause too.

    Comically he is centre left.
    Both centre party's seem to be in a state of civil war.

    How I love to see it.

    You mean a typical member of the British Commonwealth lib majority?

    I dont think do

    He seemed like an ordinary person who would salute the flag and vote for trump if he were an American

    I suspect there are many in the UK, Canada and Austrailia who are not wacked out liberals

    But we do not hear about them here in America

    And from Canada there is a conservative named Ezra Levant of therebel.media

    He is like a breath of fresh air compared to the far left nonsense we normslly hear coming from Canada

    Will he be elected? Given the record gains in the last election and continued progress (e.g. increase in effective activism), there is an excellent chance. Indeed, it's that reality which is driving the increasingly desperate smear campaign. These folk think the British public are herd that is easily manipulated. That's the ultimate irony of the anti-virus lobby, they think so little of the British peoples.

    I have honestly never known a time like this for British politics - where both leaders are lame ducks. As for the leader of the third party, dead duck would be more apposite!
