Unacceptable that.

But maybe you should be asking your party leaders like Abbott why she didn't think Al Qaeda should be illegal, and Corbyn why he lies about meeting the IRA and thought it was acceptable to attend a commemoration for a man who was involved in the murder of 11 Olympic athletes?

In regards to Abbott 'voting against making Al Qaeda illegal', am I right in assuming that it refers to her voting against the Provention of Terrorism Act? As far as I'm aware it was a very contentious act of which sections were deemed to be incompatible with basic human rights, which is why it was eventually scrapped and rewritten.
 
It's very simple, if you honestly believe that Corbyn, Abbott and McDonald are the best to negotiate our EU exit then vote for them.......I'm sure Juncker, Tusk, Merkel and co will be pleased........

I think you will find they will be extremely happy negotiating with May, Johnson, Davis and whoever the other bloke was, as they know they are are incoherent and incompetent. The EU negotiators have done their best to hide how embarrassingly stupid the Tories have been so far.

If May gets to set the Brexit agenda, the EU negotiators will have to stay in constant touch, to make sure she doesn't change her mind as soon as she leaves the room.
 
Corbyn's taxes were deemed complete and accurate. To imply that he's trying to fiddle the system is ridiculous.
No he put them in late that's all I stated missed the deadline day not a good selling point of being on the ball!
As a future leader of our country!
Any decent Labour Leader woul win this election - I doubt he will - no landslide though stated that from day one!

Abbott voted against legislation that had the Kurdish People's Party as a proscribed organisation and the Tamil Tigers. The KPP were not allowed to fund raise and recruit on British soil due to being a proscribed organisation. This was conveniently changed in 2011 when they were allowed to raise funds and recruit fighters, illegal in the UK for them to do so, to go to Syria to fight against alongside their fellow Kurds.

May clearly aided a 'terrorist' organisation and should have been put in the dock for allowing 'terrorists' to recruit on British soil. The Kurds have been fighting against the Turkish state that has made no secret of murdering Kurds, in Turkey and in Syria with the knowledge of the UK government who have provided logistics to the Turkish air force.

The Tamil Tigers were also deemed a 'terrorist' organisation because they fought against the Sinhalese majority's discrimination against them. The Sri Lankan army killed hundreds of thousands of Tamil men, women and children in 2009.

As far as getting annoyed with Corbyn for standing for a minutes silence at a meeting about Ireland, organised by a group that he was not a member off, then there are plenty of folk you will condemn for all the eulogies towards Martin McGuiness.

Corbyn agrees with a United Ireland, something the Good Friday Agreement provides the basis of, albeit at a snail's pace, but he venomously is against any sort of violent means to get to that aim. If you bothered to read what the likes of him, Livingstone, Tony Benn etc said about Ireland you would know they were against the armed struggle. As they were against the ANC armed wing. What Corbyn was for though, and probably still is, is for a United workers struggle in occupied Ireland to end British occupation in occupied Ireland, in a non violent way. Critics of Corbyn's so called support for the Irish armed struggle are wide off the mark. It is part of the constant propaganda against Corbyn because of what he says and might do to make the UK a more equal society.
 
Did some canvassing yesterday, and twice someone claimed that I was a terrorist sympathiser.

I put up with the "white genocide" claims in the EU referendum, with my reasoning that it was sheer stupidity.

But this is a line that's being pushed by the Tories.

Politics is supposed to be about discussing the real issues, the ones that people have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
Politics is a dirty business from all parties!
 
Tony Blair was allowed to shred his expenses, two new rooves on his last day!most MPs were at it Corbyn tax form went in late!

Corbyn's expenses last year were £8.65 for an ink cartridge. We know for a fact that MPs expenses scandal did not involve Corbyn. As far as putting in a late tax form is concerned, I think Cornyn should have to do 100 hours of community service. And be given 500 lines, 'I shall never return my tax form late again'. How does that sound for a punishment?
 
No he put them in late that's all I stated missed the deadline day not a good selling point of being on the ball!

Scraping the barrel Joey.

I have my doubts about Corbyns potential as a leader, but him filing his tax return a few days late does not feature on my list of reasons why.
