Cynical people might think it had something to do with the Mayoral election...lol
None of which 'explains' why Khan nominated Corbyn a year ago.

Aye, and I'd love to agree with you ( there's always a first) but his endorsement of terrorist groups ( freedom fighters if you like) is going to be a major handicap, his anti nuclear weapons stance can be 'massaged' and his support for the Palestinians can be addressed, but his enthusiasm for MCG and JA is going to take a lot of work here on the "home front"
Personally, I hope he can manage it as I support his main policies.
very impressed that I know " Suomi " and " Karelia "
Amazingly, this ‘Dump Corbyn, Get Corbyn’ line isn’t resonating with the Corbynite true believers. For the simple reason that while many of them are stark-staring mad, they aren’t stupid.
That's a GibbonPhilately will get you nowhere.
FYI NI never left the UKNot really, many of us swallowed Shyte in order to see peace and security for the majority of those in NI,
Allowing a few murderers their 'freedom' (who will be under constant supervision, and encouragement to grass up their former 'comrades' ) is, when all is said and done, a small price to pay in order to let NI resume it's place in the UK.
I would, bloke made some bad calls but I like most of his domestic polices.The people remembering them as that would never have voted for Labour under Corbyn anyway
Bout sums it up.they were as much affiliated to their armed wings as the british deep state was affiliated to the loyalist gangs. No honour was earned here, if there ever was such a thing as a clean conflict outside of greek epics. Warrenpoint is remembered as a great tragedy as is bloody sunday. Who won? Who really won? Who did terror while wearing the face of legitimacy because 'we are the Official Army and everyone else is a crim'? Fucking idiocy. All that blood for nothing.
that's an odd take on the good friday agreement. The PIRA were defeated yet ended up with their representatives in a power sharing agreement with a large degree of devolved powers, and their prisoners released. Odd form of defeat.Agreed, 'the troubles' isn't a live 'issue' these days, but the references that the media will make to Corbyns support for 'terrorists' won't make a distinction between the burnt out, defeated PIRA and the modern day Islamic groups, will it?
It wasn't the British deep state affiliated to loyalist murder gangs, it was the British state directing loyalist murder gangs with cues taken on occasion from politicians' statements in the Commons. Nothing deep about it.they were as much affiliated to their armed wings as the british deep state was affiliated to the loyalist gangs.

Scotland got the same deal, without thirty years of blood and suffering.that's an odd take on the good friday agreement. The PIRA were defeated yet ended up with their representatives in a power sharing agreement with a large degree of devolved powers, and their prisoners released. Odd form of defeat.
It was a face-saving "defeat" for the benefit of those for whom the dogma of "not negotiating with terrorists" was more important than achieving peace.that's an odd take on the good friday agreement.

No they didn'tS

Near enough as not worth arguing about, but it's drifting away from the thread, Corbyns big weakness is defence and his sometimes dodgy associations.No they didn't
Brave sir robinNear enough as not worth arguing about, but it's drifting away from the thread, Corbyns big weakness is defence and his sometimes dodgy associations.
Didn't know hrc a neo-lindburgh/caughlinPeace in Ireland is a temporary situation, which will end when republican militants decide the international climate is more sympathetic to their cause. We're not there yet, but with Britain leaving the EU and a neo-Lindburgh/Caughlin about to take power in the U.S., it's closer than you think.
lol

The masses are listening to the voice of the fens.
I do like his hair though.
