A spineless pussy who's only just been persuaded that shoot to kill is a good idea is not the man for the job.
Um, no. That was held by the BBC Trust as a misrepresentation. Two questions were asked, then the cut made for a different answer. He actually said that he thought shoot to kill should be less the priority than investing in intelligence and policing and avoiding radicalisation, so things never reached that point. Which is the police position, too.
and also a terrorist according to some
Really? Would that be why the Times published an apology in 1987 for claiming he'd been sympathetic to the IRA, acknowledging that he had on the contrary reported a suspected PIRA member to the police? He met with loyalists as well as republican politicians throughout - just as the government did. How do people imagine the peace process happened? Fairies? Telepathy? All this codswallop about the IRA - you do know Ian Paisley spoke well of Corbyn, right?
There's a reason the London School of Economics did a study which found Corbyn was misrepresented, and sometimes actively lied about, in the media 75% of the time. Dimbleby, talking to the Radio Times recently, commented that it was rather disturbing to see how unfairly a democratic leader is treated. I'm not even voting for him, but it's still scary. He's head of one of the two main parties. It would be every scrap as disturbing, were these lies told about May - without information, how can people make a true choice?
Abbott is an absolute idiot. Indefensible and even if I wanted to, which I don't, I wouldn't bother pretending otherwise. But Boris Johnson is as well, and he's the bloody Foreign Secretary. We have the most senior diplomat in this country literally pushing and shoving an opponent on national television.
And anyone who thinks May has a handle on terrorism needs to ask themselves why she's suppressing a report on Saudi funding of extremism in this country, while wittering on about Twitter and Facebook being a problem (as if a UK leader could ever control the internet, anyway). While engaging their brains they may want to ask why she's saying "enough is enough" as though her previous 7 years as Home Secretary and Prime Minister somehow led her to believe that terrorism was okay and manageable before. And then they can ask why it is that she was warned in 2015 by a Manchester policeman that her cuts meant they had no clue what was happening on the ground, that this was a threat to national security and would end in a terrorist attack, and her response was that this crying wolf and scaremongering had to end. Oh, and police say she is actively lying about armed police levels. Video.
As to the bullshit about the global financial crisis being down to Labour (they really were not that powerful) and the Tories being better economically (prior to the crisis, borrowing was at its lowest level in decades - and right now the national debt is higher than it has ever been) that's just wrong. Provably and demonstrably wrong.
