Surely it’s worth investigating though. JC and his team are accused of some serious stuff here.

So if I accuse Theresa May of holding drug fuelled sex parties with notable righties of the world, it should be investigated?

How about Harold Wilson's claim that the military were planning to overthrow him and put Lord Mountbatten in charge, should that be investigated?

Of course WIlson's an interesting one, because Peter Wright claimed there were plots around MI5 to leak information about Wilson t the press, to portray him as a security risk...

Investigations need more than gossip, no matter what they are. And yes, that includes the likes of Trump...

I’s the suggestion that there was payments exchanged for selling secrets? I doubt they had secrets to sell. It’s all a bit extreme I think.

I’m sure there are files on these two. They are known advocates of terror. The thing that makes them unique is they had no real desire to be in charge and never thought they would be so there will be skeletons abound - especially against McDonnell who is a particularly unpleasant individual.

This seems over the top

Still how many days before labours snswer to the third reich has his suspension lifted? That’s the true face of these two the press need to exploit.

Well this is kind of the point isn't it. Regardless of if you're pro Corbyn or not, it's a bit ridiculous to think that a man who wasn't even trusted for office by his own Prime Minister, even under a Labour government, had anything worthwhile to sell!

Where are the Conservatives in all this then? Is this Tweeter one? Have the Tories actively used this as a smear? I don't know if they have or haven't - just not seen or heard anything to suggest they have

According to Farage we are all under Brussels’ control.

In reality the public is being led up the garden path by large circulation and unscrupulous right wing press coupled with social media fake news campaigns.

I see Mr Livingstone admits to being asked by the KGB to visit Russia for a few days in the 80’s but considered the iron curtain too moderate.

When’s he back in the fold again?

I doubt whether the right wing papers spread so much bs about the conservatives when labour was in power. And we didn’t have so much fake news or means to spread it in the internet then.

So mr Livingstone is lying when he said that the likes of he and Mr Corbyn were approached? As for media antics I think a certain left wing publication in the 80’s stating that the only bad thing about the Brighton bombing was that not enough Tories died puts all this in the shade. Don’t you agree?

Don’t know about red Ken... in the 70s and 80s I was against the IRA. Even got involved in scuffles with their supporters at the James McDaid memorial service. They had nearly killed my best mate as their bomb blew out the windows of the Penny Black. But... now I am raging about the possibility of the government breaking the GFA just because of a stupid decision to leave the EU. And no, I don’t agree with wishing Tories dead.

I don't recollect that but did I attend Uni in Guildford starting in the Autumn after they blew up the Seven Stars and the Horse & Groom pubs.

In the summer if I remember rightly they had bombed pubs in Birmingham.

The Horse & Groom received a lot of my custom in the following few years and I learned to avoid Barely Wine at all costs as a consequence of one of those visits. :vomit:

The Birmingham pub bombing was on November 21st, pretty sure it was after Guildford.

I've spent a lot of time in Guildford in the last couple of years, both pubs are now gone, think they're shops.

McDade accidentally blew himself up outside the Penny Black whilst setting a primitive timing device ( alarm clock ? ). His accomplice was held until police arrived by the landlord of the Three Tuns. Birmingham was seen as a revenge because of the anti IRA demos and attacks after the failed Coventry bombing.

A Tory MP has agreed to apologise for posting a tweet in which he said Jeremy Corbyn had passed British secrets to a spy from communist Czechoslovakia.

Ben Bradley will also donate an undisclosed sum to a charity supported by the Labour leader and has agreed not to repeat the allegation, Labour said.

He has agreed to say that the tweet he posted "was wholly untrue and false".

Labour had said a Sun story about Mr Corbyn having contact with a Czech spy in the 1980s was "absurd".

A spokesman denied that Mr Corbyn ever acted as a collaborator or agent of the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia.

Mr Bradley had been threatened with legal action over his tweet. He will make a donation to a foodbank and a homeless charity in his constituency, and pay Mr Corbyn's legal fees, Labour said.

It's so objectively false that Corbyn would have an easy case for libel against them. Don't think they'll have much choice.
