AIBU to think i can't vote for Boris Johnson after this morning's interview?

[theduchessstill]

Well?

Blustering, politicising Friday's attack blatantly, blaming Labour for a terror attack when they've been out of power for 10 years, pathetic jokes about who is the best Andrew?! No answer for the horrible Islamophobic comments he has published...

Awful, awful man.

es, because Corbyn saying he doesn’t necessarily think terrorists should be made to finish Their prison sentences is a better option.....
Just for a little clarity and balance -
All of the things Boris says he wants to look at now were done during Tory rule. The bloke was jailed in 2012 under a Tory government, and released under a Tory government so talking about Corbyn is irrelevant as Corbyn's only advocating the policy already persued by Boris and his pathetic gang of liars so far.

IDK if you've seen this, but Boris (or one of his aides) has plagiarized a blog by the Secret Barrister and posted it on his Twitter without credit

I’ve have had someone close to me murdered by a terrorist- sorry, there is no way I can and ever will vote for someone who doesn’t necessarily think terrorists should finish their sentence in jail. I don’t care which government put him in jail but a PM who thinks like JC does is a total No go for me.

Not another one of these threads. I'm not convinced you were ever going to vote for him either OP. Having said that, why anyone would vote for him is beyond me.

You'll never get a fair playing field on here... this is 95% labour voters....

London You'll never get a fair playing field on here... this is 95% labour voters....

Lol yeah right!

Rogue London in my post

Yanbu at all but surely it should have become clear months /years ago what a tosspot he is.

How could you have voted for him before this mornings interview more to the point..

Corbyn was fed the line of necessarily finishing the sentence by Sophie Ridge. He said way more than that.

It's a bit binary thinking to think we should never let criminals out.

How big was Labour's majority at the time? Weren't MPs from other parties voting too?

Does deradicalisation actually work? Belief systems are really, really hard to change, especially if the person has committed acts as a result of that belief which are extremely contentious to those who don't hold that belief.

It makes me think of the religious 'wars' where Catholics professed belief in CofE in order to keep their heads and lands. They didn't change their beliefs at all, merely took them underground, hence priest holes in some large country estates and so on.

For instance, I was raised Catholic. I am not one now but I still, 30 years on, have not managed to rid myself entirely of everything Catholic. I find some of my attitudes are informed by my childhood Catholicism to a silly degree - one which I, intellectually, perceive as silly - even though I think I am an atheist. I struggle with this and luckily my dh and dd both point it out to me when I do it if I haven't noticed.

If you asked me if I believed in transubstantiation, and i knew that if I said "yes" I would remain in prison, then I'd say "no" wouldn't I?

It's a good question Jux. My understanding is that it can. I know little more than that, and that the problem of incentive is well known.
This BBC article mentions it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47289562
What's our alternative though, in a multi-cultural country? We've already got over-populated prisons and can hardly imprison innocent people in case they commit a crime.

Meanwhile Newsthump has echoed my earlier point about Boris Johnson and ten years of Tory rule in rather more entertaining fashion. newsthump.com/2019/12/02/london-bridge-counter-terrorism-failure-is-all-jeremys-corbyn-fault-insist-people-whove-been-in-charge-of-everything-for-a-decade/

This man would NEVER have been rehabilitated.

I am with Boris on terrorism

I’m sick of this ‘he has rights attitude it’s his situation crap’

He was an evil human being and should never have been let out.

But that's the problem, madeyemoodysmum, how can we tell?

Yanbu- he is a mendacious misogynist.

Fuck Alexander J.

Why on earth would you consider voting for him at all? He's a liar, a fraud, a misogynist and a racist. And he cheated on 2 wives.

He is also gaming and manipulating the political system. The amount of dirty games going on in this election is ludicrous.

If we want any integrity left in public life we have to ditch this British version of Trump. This makes for an interesting read, as do other recent stories on the same blog against the widespread internet meme of antisemitism in Labour.
