And the he tries to claim he is impartial and neutral in all of this, yet I wonder why he has never brought this up?
I spoke about it with others. And no. I didn't defend May like you make out although you have never found a post where I have defended her.

Links with terrorists? Corbyn had close links himself with those same terrorists. But May is at fault the most for giving them money as a bribe.

So what is the worse?

Association during the bombings and speaking out.on behalf of the terrorists and never the innocents murdered or giving money over to those associated years after the peace started?

If you believed on here the worse thing is giving money over once there is peace.

Terrorist organisations, dictatorships and dealings with them?

Digging into Corbyn's silence on Putin

Yeah Corbyn is guilty of nothing but May should be hung out to dry. Corbyn for our next PM. He would do a great job.

So... to deflect somewhat, what is the latest thinking on where we are with Brexit?

Extension to Article 50 and delay and then to a referendum if, as seems likely, the EU won't budge?

Surely if there is no movement, May is going to come back and MP's are going to vote down her deal again aren't they.

I think the fear of no deal will prevent that from happening, so that then just leaves another referendum doesn't it?

Anyone think the EU will budge and if so, sufficiently so?
We won't be leaving in March. We won't leave without a deal.

It would be foolish to guess what will happen otherwise though.

You think that establishes close links?
Does that worry you more than the UK.bgovernment giving money to Al nusra or cosying up to the Saudis?
For what it's worth I don't think Corbyn would be the first PM since the war not to maintain close links with the Saudis if he did get office. They jump we say how high, don't see it changing.

So you question what I said. This was going over old ground. Just like this thread always does. But when my reply proves you wrong you suddenly want to change the subject. And none of your buddies on here fire a single question at you.

What a surprise.

You didn't prove anything at all, you just make stuff up and get called out on it.

The whole thing is a farce; the UK now seems to think it has put the ball in the EU's court but what are the alternative solutions? After being told that the withdrawal agreement is not going to be reopened why does she think this somehow empowers her? The whole thing is bizarre and shows that her and her government are massively incompetent.

I said at the time it was wrong.

But here comes the defence of Corbyn. Is anyone surprised?

Yes I just made copies of well known websites and put in what I wanted to say I suppose.

You're priceless.
What have I made up then?

Come on then. For once back up just a single claim you make against me.

So how many times have I proved claims that you have made to be false so far? No wonder you chase me closer than a shadow does.

Half your links say the opposite of what you think they say. The made up bit is that you claim your links say something else. I’ve lost count the amount of times people are pointing out to you what your links actually say. You either don’t read them thoroughly or you don’t understand the details.

I don't chase you at all, just call out your massive hypocrisy - you've just made stuff up this evening and been called out on it.

Name one thing I have made up then.

Just like nobody tries to defend Corbyn whatever evidence is put in front of them?

Corbyn's links to pro-IRA group were investigated by the police - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

And this isn't a bad list for someone who is made out to be innocent of all charges. How many other innocent people have a list like this?

I'm far more worried by our links to a regime closely linked to ISIS and an Al qaeda off shoot but that's just me.

Firstly - you are using Guido as a reference... perfect if you are only trying to discredit yourself.

Secondly, what’s your opinion on heads of state that mourn the loss of soldiers they sent to war, but don’t acknowledge the loss of civilian life. Or maybe the one that celebrates an air strike, despite the fact it probably killed innocent civilians.

If we were talking about a man that had directly profited from the Irish conflict, or owned a firm that sold weapons to one side in a conflict then I’d be with you on his unsuitability. But we’re not. There are probably things he’s said and not said that upon reflection he would have done differently. But he’s not an architect of conflict is he? He hasn’t instigated conflict for his own gain at all.

You don’t like him - that’s fine. I do. Don’t make out he’s some devil incarnate though when you only have to look over to the other side of the dispatch box to see how human life is of lesser value than a shareholders dividend.

So you are denying everything because of where one link is from.

Would you like to try to deny all of these or say he is innocent of all charges?

100 Times Jeremy Corbyn Sided With Terrorists -

And I can't believe you would stoop so low as to use deaths in war as making it OK for children to get murdered by terrorists or for Corbyn to refuse to say anything on the deaths of children yet he has made countless comments on the deaths of terrorists.

Save the Children estimate 85,000 children have been killed in Yemen from starvation alone because of the war Saudi Arabia has inflicted on it with arms we have sold and continue to sell them. If anyone has stooped low it’s you by dismissing deaths at war.

You’re going to have to talk me through how you got to denying everything... I made no such assertion at all.

And don’t suggest I’m stooping anywhere to defend Corbyn. It’s not just about him, but more the fucking state of the people that supposedly lead our country. It’s despicable.

So nobody has defended him or is it just yourself?

Look back at the posts. Some people were amazed the other day that 5% of our population are holocaust deniers. I'm not surprised at all.

How many times have I had a go at the Tories? How many times have I had a go at most MP's? Yet all this is ignored by certain people on here who only notice me having a go at what they want to defend. It is why our country is in crisis. We have had a Tory government or Labour government who were Tories in disguise since the 70's.

What we need is another John Smith. Best leader of any party in my time. It was his untimely death that put Bliar in as PM. Now all Labour has is someone many don't trust. The Tories are in a right mess. Labour should be romping away. But we are not. Why is this? Is it the antisemitism in the Labour party?

Edit....

Just looked at ignored posts. You agreed with idiot Tony that I have dismissed deaths at war. Would you like to point out where I have said anything like this?

And here you go. We have the bullshitters on here and the others lap it up. This is the same Tony who voted UKIP. The same Tony who said he was voting leave. The same Tony who made racist remarks. But all is well as he is joining in with everyone defending what others are defending.

So back on subject.

And Italy is now officially in recession and they expect it to get worse. And the Eurozone is only growing at 0.2%. Nothing like the numbers the EU recently told us where they said our growth would be near the bottom. We must be near the top now.

So does the EU need us now?

Nobody in their right mind would want a no deal situation. It must be time to get around a table and talk sensibly. But there again it should have happened ages ago. But some of us did say it would go to the wire. Did expect it a little earlier though.

The withdrawal agreement has already been made, what other sensible discussions are there? Despite all of the bravado the Uk is in a weak position with a PM with zero authority.

The onus is very much on the UK but has it come up with any alternative solutions yet? What are they? Perhaps it’s time for the UK to get sensible?

The assertations that the EU needed us more than we needed them haven’t exactly turned out to be true, so I’m not sure what you’re expecting to happen.

He hasn’t used deaths in war to ignore anything. The fact that you would be so blasé about the situation in Yemen to use it in a sentence as you did is dismissive of it in the extreme. Try getting some perspective before you post. Again, 85,000 children from famine alone. That’s not including those who have died from bombing, many of which were double tap which is outlawed by international law. The Saudi’s are being armed by us and our allies in the West to do this. It gets very little coverage in the Western press, especially compared to Syria where the press can point to Russia and Iran as the bad guys while gleefully ignoring that it was the Saudi’s (yes them again) that sponsored and armed ISIS originally. If you want to talk about terrorism at least try to put it in a sentence with some context. Afterall, you’re the only unbiased one on here. Apparently.

So let me get this straight.

May said it’s her deal, no deal or no brexit. Delayed the vote and then lost by 230 votes.

She returned later and voted against her own deal!!!!! Her own deal to go back to the Eu with a proposal, no! Alternative proposals that no one knows what they are and 3 days later we still don’t know what they are!

Anyone who wants to leave any thoughts?

Is it the original deal or no deal? If we have to follow the huge public vote taken almost 3 years ago

How can she negotiate an agreement and then herself vote against it with no alternative proposals!!!!!!

Anyone got one of those Wetherspoons Brexit Propaganda mags through the door? I sent mine back this morning without a stamp on, addressed to the Company Secretary. They have to pay for return postage that way.

Did you see that quote from the 2016 one about how only an idiot would want no deal or to not be on the EEA?

I’m flabbergasted I hadn’t registered it at the time that the prime minister and her government voted against her deal. The work of her negotiations and the Eu to come to a negotiated compromise on how to move the leaving of the Eu forward. 2 years work and she voted against herself!!!! Am I being stupid or is that not insane???!

And what was the groundbreaking change to the deal that was comprehensively rejected?? Alternative arrangements to the Northern Ireland backstop. What are they? We don’t know ffs

As I have said several times I don't think she wants to take us out of the EU. She has been playing for time.
