I agree whole heartedly about the denial part. Objectivity is not a strong trait of many, especially at the far ends of the political spectrum.

I found it bizarre this morning reading some comments on Corbyn's performance last night. Some saying he is an honest man and he stands up for his beliefs, and it shone through. All I took from the interview was the guy refused to give a straight answer, not really a trait I'd associate with an honest person, and defintiely not one of a person who actually stands by his own convictions.

Yes the May one was a shocker for her, but so was this one for him.

What about those who did not as they were the ones who were targeted.


Corbyn knew full well of IRA tactics ,as did Ken Livingstone

If I was an MP through those years I'd have opposed most of those laws as well. Terrorist attacks have been used by both Labour and Tory governments as reasons/excuses for some of the most egregious attacks on civil liberties this country has seen.

David Davis, current Tory Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, also opposed many of those same laws. Indeed, he resigned his seat and challenged Cameron for the Tory leadership on that basis. It wasn't solely "lefties" who opposed such laws and to claim or imply that those who opposed them were in some way supporters of terrorism is just plain wrong.

There is some serious rewriting of events going on isn't there.

Anyone that believe that Corbyn didn't support the IRA really knows nothing about the whole atmosphere of North London left wing politics in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. Heavily influenced by a large, vocal North London Irish community, they were fervent supporters of the aims of the IRA. They may not have agreed with the bombing of innocents, but it certainly wasn't a deal breaker or something which caused their support to waver. It was seen as 'collateral damage' in a just war, in much the same way as huge numbers of Tories see the killing of innocents in Iraq, Syria or wherever in the same way. Regrettable, but not something they lose much sleep over, and certainly not something that makes them question their support for the cause.

The leadership of the IRA were brought to the negotiating table because they realised that they couldn't win an armed struggle. So negotiation was all they had left.

Governments had been talking to them for years. There were plenty of clandestine meetings and facilitated discussions, at the top levels of government, across all parties. But Corbyn wasn't part of that. He was far too low ranking to be given any negotiating role. It's a complete fallacy to now claim responsibility for any part of the peace process.

Vote for him, don't vote for him, but stop rewriting history. Just admit that your support for him (or hatred of the alternative) is such that his support of the IRA is not a deal breaker for you.

And that goes for people like Darran as well. You can't claim any moral high ground about 'not liking him' while voting for him. Again, it's not a deal breaker for you.

Conversely, some of the nonsense spouted on the other side is equally fictional. Corbyn didn't say that it was our fault that Manchester happened. He said that our foreign policy has been a contributor. And it has. It doesn't shape the aims of the IS leadership (which is power and money and land), but it helps the narrative that they can sell to brainwashed evil little nonentities who they persuade to blow themselves up. It helps them see their 'war' as just.

This entire election is littered with falsehood, soundbite, out and out lies, uncosted or badly costed manifesto promises that will never be delivered and treating the electorate as imbeciles. It's a bloody embarrassment to everyone, on all sides, aided and abetted by our largely atrocious media.

Can't wait for it to be over. Shame on all their houses.

There doesn't even seem to be any talent coming up behind them.

We've reached the situation that the increasing dominance of the career politician (on all sides) was, I suppose, always going to produce. A bunch of unprincipled, unthinking mediocrities delivering sound bites without any shred of substance.

I shan't be voting red or blue. I can't back the hard Brexit Tories nor can I back any party that is led by a man who trusts Diane Abbott to deliver.

Shame, as the labour candidate was a headteacher in Camden. A guy was handing flyers out for the conservatives on the concourse to Hitchin station but was moved on by a member of rail staff. I could just imagine the chuckles that would have been had on here by some 😂😂😂😂

Nor will I.

The problem I had / have, is that I'm in a straight Tory / Labour shootout seat. But after much thought, I've decided that I'm just going to vote for the party whose manifesto most resonates with me, and, although I don't rate the leadership, I'm going to vote LibDem. I considered tactical voting for some time, but I genuinely can't bear either main party in their current incarnations.
