Shall we have a little vote, here and now?

It's a big "no" from me.

No

I am pretty sure that an email from an MP is 'public property' if it's not about a private casework matter.

Scholes34 · 01/12/2015 20:24

No.

Cameron has called Corbyn a 'terrorist sympathizer' because he won't vote to back the war!

So anyone who doesn't agree to war is a terrorist sympathizer!

LineyReborn · 01/12/2015 20:42

Cameron is thick and dangerous.

whatdoIget · 01/12/2015 20:53

Has Cameron really said that?! It's frightening Sad

whatdoIget · 01/12/2015 20:54

It's like George bush isn't it? You're either with us or against us

dementedma · 01/12/2015 20:55

He really isn't thick. You may not agree with his policies, but thick he isn't!

gatewalker · 01/12/2015 20:59

No.

Fantasyland · 01/12/2015 21:04

Whatdoiget yes he has told MPs to take a stand and not side with 'Corbyn and a bunch of terrorist sympathizers'

whatdoIget · 01/12/2015 21:08

What a dreadful thing to say

LineyReborn · 01/12/2015 21:12

Cameron is thick. He is not an intelligent man.

MoriartyIsMyAngel · 01/12/2015 21:24

Janeymoo50 · 01/12/2015 21:30

No, but we will (sadly).

EnaSharplesHairnet · 01/12/2015 23:15

There is a problem with Corbyn, McDonnell and Livingstone and their own words on terrorists and their past actions which put them at odds with the majority of the electorate tbh. So they leave Cameron an open goal.

Mistigri · 02/12/2015 06:51

Ena can you give examples of Corbyn backing terrorists (without quoting selectively, please; let's debate this honestly).

Corbyn certainly has advocated negotiating with organisations with terrorist links - but he has generally been correct to do so, because this is empirically the most effective way of resolving political issues. He was right about Northern Ireland. He was also, let's remember, correct to oppose Blair's policy on Iraq. He has a fairly good track record on security issues, if by "good track record" you mean (as I do) that his judgements have been shown to be correct by later events.

No politician has a monopoly on good judgement of course, and it's possible that bombing Syria is the "right" thing to do - but if so, those proposing it need to make their case much more effectively.

OfficeGirl1969 · 02/12/2015 07:10

I think it's going to happen.....but

No

We shouldn't. Nobody should bomb anybody. Ever. But it still bloody happens.....

DoctorTwo · 02/12/2015 08:13

Churchill, the nodding dog, said "to jaw jaw is better than to war war". Oh yes.

EnaSharplesHairnet · 02/12/2015 10:11

Well since I never said he has explicitly backed terrorists I won't be no!

EnaSharplesHairnet · 02/12/2015 10:17

I am honest by the way.

anotherbusymum14 · 02/12/2015 10:23

No

Suddenlyseymour · 02/12/2015 10:26

No. Is there anything left to bomb? I'm with doctortwo and Churchill......and Corbyn

RoboticSealpup · 02/12/2015 10:28

Hell no
