This odious woman is really trying to out-chip Diane Abbott, what exactly is her problem?
Labour MP who mocked Prince Harry's military service is 'entitled to her opinion', says senior colleague
that slur has already been pretty much discredited.What he implied was that you have to indulge in dialogue with the different parties concerned in any dispute , for example in NI it would be Sinn Fein as well the Unionist parties.That attitude ultimately proved successful with the Good Friday peace accord although I dont hold much hope of it lasting if this Government persists with its suicidal Brexit mission and all that implies, ie closed border between north and south.
Corbyn has always been a pacifist at heart so he would look at all avenues that involve jaw jaw and not war war.That does not mean he condones terrorism, as the right so slavishly insist on implying
Can you then show me where he has attended or met with, say members of the Israeli government, be it in Israel or in the UK?
No it has not been discredited. He openly and publicly called them his "friends". You can find the links yourself.
As for his Northern Ireland "involvement", funnily enough it was only the IRA he was interested in talking with, he never associated with any protestant paramilitaries . How odd.
And it he continues to demonstrate this one sided view of things to this very day. Indeed a pacifist....
When LGS says "that slur has been pretty much discredited" he means he's sticking his head in the sand regarding it.
the term friends did not imply the kind of people one would go down the pub and have drink with rather it his way of trying to include particular people or groups of people into a debate.That doesn'tmean he endorsed their terrorist activities.Of course certain pope continue to try and misrepresent him but given his rising popularity most couldnt give a rat's backside and just want to move o.Presumably that is why so many people in the right wing media ended up with egg on their face skater the election
He was most interested in the nationalist side of the arguement because it was they over the years ever since the plantation of protestants, who have been treated badly by successive British/loyalist Governments.Needless to say most sympathies on this side uk were reserved for the unionists so for him to show sympathies for Sinn fein was a small way of redressing the balance .We have to recognise that just as we did in many other parts of the world where we stuck our noses in, we created the problem that festered in NI for so many years.We need not worry not now because of the Good Friday agreement which showed conclusively that Corbyn was right all along- you have to have dialogue and it is dialogue as well as free movement of people and trade which has improved relations with Southern Ireland
At least this part is correct!
He has spoken to members of the Likud party just as he spoken to many people with right wing views
Did you actually hear/see all the Comrades chanting "Oh, Jeremy Corbyn" at the start of his speech, like a bunch of football thugs?
Anyone who sides with these people seriously needs a check up from the neck up.
