Stating that there are significant numbers of traditional Labour supporters who feel betrayed by Corbyn over his position on Brexit is stating the 'bleeding obvious'. It is also, as is often your way, to avoid the point being made entirely. I doubt there are many Labour supporters who will believe the Tory lies that Corbyn has betrayed the the UK in the Why Philby did and has sold secrets to communist regimes.

Just as I suspect there are significant numbers of people across the UK and across the political spectrum who will have significant degrees of sympathy for Neil's assertion that 'surely the real scandal is the outright lies and disinformation that the Tories are spreading'.


The people of the UK voted to leave the EU. Corbyn campaigned on a manifesto commitment of honouring that. He reneged, in what I regard as a very unprincipled way. I don’t think calling that a betrayal is hyperbole.

Many - not least Lordo of course - seek to rewrite Corbyn’s near 4 decades of being a firebrand, far left “rebel” now he’s amazingly found himself a “contender”. Much of what he’s done in the past speaks for itself. I regard him as a betrayer in that respect. Frankly, the idea that the security of the UK would rest on Corbyn, Abbott and Thornbury is a prospect that fills me with both horror and the desire to ROFLMAO. You couldn’t make it up.

this is the whole argument. i cannot expres this in any way. the problem is thet 17.4 million pibol voted to leave the eu and kants like you claim that all 17.4 milion voted for may or boris leave plan. that is just plain fakin stupid. there is 4 million labour supporters who voted on soft brexit and probably another few million tories too.

why the fak would they be betrayed when corbyn is offering them to make a deal where our rights and jobs are portected and having got the deal than ask them to vote for it.

why are you two so faking stupid. i don't consider bafidi being stupid as to call him stupid would be an insult to all stupid people.


If you expect serious discussions on weighty matters you really need to curb your compulsion for foul-mouthed, juvenile ranting.......................boy.


Sorry just to be clear who are you talking to here ? Me or Lordo. We are both in the quoted section you reposted. Or are you also of the view that Lordo is simply my sock puppet alter ego ? You initially appeared 'sceptical' of the theory, then seemed to change your mind and support and encourage it. So it is hard to know what your opinion is really. I would try asking directly 'do you believe that Lordo is my sock puppet alter ego or not' or in my terms to what degree do you believe this but experience has shown that getting a straight answer from you on such simple questions is often an futile endeavour.

With registration just about to close record numbers

With one day left to go, 2,824,750 have signed up - the vast majority of them young people.

Here's a breakdown of voter registration applications by age group so far:

Under 25: 1,009,000
25-34: 851,000
35-44: 426,000
45-54: 262,000
55-64: 160,000
65-74: 76,000
Over 75: 38,000


In other news

https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/ge ... 18306.html

The gap between the Conservatives and Labour is closing. A Kantar poll was published today that showed the Tory lead falling from 18 points to 11, with Labour gaining 5 points since a week earlier. An ICM poll yesterday put the Tory lead at just 7 points, the smallest from any pollster since the first week of November.


Now of course, as Londonrake has pointed out, only a idiot would start declaring certain victory based on such polls [cough]paphitis[cough] but it seems to me the idea that this is all done and dusted and the only question remaining is how big the Tory majority will be, seems to me a little premature ?

when you see the picture below you begin to understand that the lunatics are not just those in power but spread much more widely th elunatics are also out there voting for their kind.

what is the point of having more nuclear weapons than destroys the whole word 10 times over. so if having nuclear defence is protecting us from a nuclear attack, whay have those who do not have thenm been attcked so far except when the americans attacked japan. of course then they did not really realise the power of them and were used more to test to see how destructive they would be. it really is not rocket science is it?

so what exactly is wrong with indeterminate prison sentences - no fixed length of time where a prisoner has to prove they are no longer a threat before they can be released.

obvious question, how does one prove that one is no longer a threat so they can be released.

this smells like the windrush fiasco where people from west indian origin had to prove with 4 idnependent pieces of evidence per year that they had the right to live here or they would be removed. when asked, a minister said it was impossible to prove one lived in this country with 4 independent pices of evidence per year. so if it is impossible, why set such criteria.

we than come to the idea of indeterminate prison sentences and if one is unable to prove one is no longer a threat than what is the point of such a sentence.

can anybody explain a away a person can prove they will never do something?

the news regarding the latest london bridge attack is becoming clearer by the hour. the fight started in a conferance being held by cambridge university and there were students and released prisoners attending it. the subject was on prisoner rehabilitation - called learning together. it seems the fight started in the coferance and moved out of the building. and of course the media narative is this is a jihadi attacking civilians because they hate western world. one of the victims that was killed was a cambridge graduate. no word on the second. and of course nobody has expalined how an ex-prisoner was able to enter the conferance armed with a knife and what looked like a suicide vest.

sooner or later the truth will come out.

...the strength of the Nation is tested with incidents such as these; whether to take the victim's wishes into account, or to act differently.

...sad news.

is it rw? what test and what nation?

cause it sure does not feel like it where i am standing.
we have our brave pilots bombing syria, killing innocent civilians - no comment
we supply saudis with bombs to do the same in yemen - no comment

we still don't know what happened here. i had a feeling the police were keeping something from us the moment they released the news that the killing had to do with terrorism investigation. sooner or later they finally admitted that they shot an innocent men 5 times in the head because they believed he was a terroris believeing that he had a suicide vest.


why kill this particular person, what was the altrecation in the conference. it is easy to calim this is a case of a released terrorist and see what they did. well we have about 250 such cases and none have done anything like this. this is clearly something very specific and the result of the conferance held. till we hear from the paticipants as to what had gone on in the fighting in the conferance, we will be no wiser. the truth will come out in the end.

the truth will come out.

sooner we stop defending ourselves in other peoples' land the sooner this sort of thing will stop.

What's this about the Israelis now installing infra red cameras along the Green Line.

Has Cyprus achieved ENOSIS with Israel/Mossad now? :lol:
