Corbyn and IRA

[TheGentleMoose]

AIBU to ask that someone please explain how he is allowed to lead a party after this?

"It can be disclosed that for seven years running, while the IRA “armed struggle” was at its height, Mr Corbyn attended and spoke at official republican commemorations to honour dead IRA terrorists, IRA “prisoners of war” and the active “soldiers of the IRA.”

The official programme for the 1988 event, held one week after the IRA murdered three British servicemen in the Netherlands, states that “force of arms is the only method capable of bringing about a free and united Socialist Ireland.” Mr Corbyn used the event to attack the Anglo-Irish Agreement, the precursor of the peace process."

Taken from a Telegraph article. I was unaware his support of the IRA was this involved until this morning.

Oh dear , make, you are just convinced I'm a Tory . You can't conceive of the notion that Corbyn supporters could be wrong about him.

I'm no Tory but he is a terrorist apologist and it sickens me.

Look, if...IF...Labour loses - and we won't - but IF it happens, and you guys get Cooper or Starmer or Lewis....I will fight for them the same way.

The Tory way doesn't work.

I want Cooper to be the leader. Nice to know you think of Labour people as "you guys" ; as "other". Speaks volumes.

Let's bash Labour and Corbyn.

That's how the Conservatives will win. That and funding from their generous, greedy benefactors.

Fuck sake, seriously thinking of emigrating.

Your enthusiasm make is quite endearing

Once the Labour Party have a leader as competent, intelligent, without terrorist supporter friends as Cooper, Starmer or Jarvis they will actually have a chance to be elected but right now Labour haven't got a chance and will lose seats

Labour unfortunately have dug their own grave

Well those that have continually supported Corbyn have

Well, if you're a bloody labour supporter but don't support Corbyn. Vote Libdems or Greens??? Buy fgs, please don't vote for the self-servatives!

Keeping Corbyn in post is what will get the Tories in. This is on Momentum/Labour not on the voters in a general election.

but not buy

And what idiot thinks I or others who despise Corbyn will vote Tory?

I'm not an idiot, thank you very much.

I know quite a few people who have moved from centre to right. That is why I have that presumption.

It is that kind of ridiculous presumption that will wipe Labour out if they are not careful.

No, actually. It's the apathy/ignorance/laziness/arrogance/stupidity of 16000000 citizens that will wipe out Labour.

So your your plan is that by speaking against your party, you give, as a present, this election to the Tories. And you are hoping that your party - your own party - loses by such a margin that they will "come to their senses" - whatever you say that is - and elect a leader that you approve of.

You want to give them 5 years just to make a point that Corbyn is a bit too hippy?

I wouldn't give a happy damn if he was wearing a nehru jacket and smoking a marijuana spliff joint....the Tories are wrecking our nation.

Usually the leader of the party takes responsibility for their election results rather than blame it on the thicko electorate.

Part of the job is to get elected. That's inspiring people to vote for you that might not ordinarily.

Not my party . I'm not a member. I'm a boring old voter. The one who has opinions and stuff . One of the ones Labour is happy to disregard as it contemplates its own navel.
If May gets in it is the fault of the Labour Party for not choosing a more appealing leader.
Shit, even bandwagon Burnham would have been better than Corbyn.

I'm not a member.

You should let a person know this! I've been grumbling over that treacherous saboteur Radishal all day!

Make, I don't have a plan. I'm expressing my opinion. I don't go with this "my party right or wrong nonsense " . That way dreadfulness lies. I'm a bad Catholic; I know all about "well you must support us because you're one of us" . Sod that.

Oh yes the stupidity of voters for not voting for a leader that has proved himself to be utterly useless while leading the opposition, acted like a petulant child during the referendum campaign, has a team surrounding him that can't grasp the simple basics of campaigning and having their figures that they are proposing at hand, his dubious friends and his showing solidarity to terrorists

Need I carry on

Make, if I had been a party member when Corbyn was elected, I would have resigned my membership there and then.

Look, if...IF...Labour loses - and we won't

Oh the innocence.

You do realise that even Labour PPC have accepted they will be defeated.

It's this blind following that is quite scary.

No, actually. It's the apathy/ignorance/laziness/arrogance/stupidity of 16000000 citizens that will wipe out Labour.

Yep that's the way to get people a) to vote or b) to vote the way that you would like them to by insulting people.

Always someone else's fault isn't it.

I can only speculate, Piglet, as to why people don't/won't vote.

Just like this current government are always blaming the last... It's always someone else's vote

Fault, not vote
