Yes, he did that deliberately. He was careful to refer to 'the institution of the monarchy' and 'Prince Andrew' as two separate things. And there were two separate questions asked - one about the monarchy, the other specifically about Andrew. Corbyn didn't mention the victims until the second question either, don't forget.. He actually end up saying to opposing things during the course of discussion about the royal family and specifically Prince Andrew. .
You should hear what they say about you.I think they're both cunts, for what its worth.
Scotland helped May get in last time. Then Johnson shat all over its face.
I'm OK with it, you know full well that protesting for a fair trial is not the same thing as protesting somebody's innocence and release.If he’d been successful in getting one of their murderers free from prison, who knows, he might have been the cause of More innocent people being killed.
You ok with a potential PM having the links he did with the IRA?
Personally think it shows how gullible some people are.
Shows what man he really is
IRA squaddie? Where did I say that? Of course I didn't. But you do enjoy making things up.Look at all I have said about Corbyn. There’s plenty of criticisms to find. I also called for him to stand down. But trying to tie him in with being an IRA squaddie is a bit ridiculous.
The general public have a thing for charlatans in suits using long words. They vote Tory then ask why their benefits are being cut and where the policemen have gone. It also helps that Corbyn has been singled out for attacks in the media more than any other British politician in decades. He has been simultaneously portrayed as a useless old man and the biggest threat to Britain since Herr Hitler. There have been countless hit pieces designed to get the likes of Dim and westcountry riled up to vote against their own interests. And they probably will.
Who doesn't have an issue? Haven't seen anyone try to defend what is going on. But Corbyn is a different matter.Can’t believe people have an issue with links to the IRA but not with links to the Saudis who fund ISIS and Russia who are actively undertaking operations against us right now.
Same as the racism thing, just comes off as disingenuous
Tory Aberdeen candidate suspended over Holocaust tweetsHmm, got a link? They're not doing very well in the Aberdeen area!
Ah, Aberdeen North. They were clearly emboldened by all the lack of press Aberdeen South was getting!

My comments? Like he shouldn't be Labour leader with so many doubts on his background?That’s quite a compliment from the king of fabrication. No you didn’t use those words. But in your eyes he’s as good as one-yet he hasn’t been arrested for these activities even once.
Support or even just sympathy for Irish reunification is not a crime. I also disagree with it, but it doesn’t warrant the hacky arguments.
My comments? Like he shouldn't be Labour leader with so many doubts on his background?
I want Labour in. But like I have always said there isn't much of a chance with Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott running the show. We hardly hear of anyone else.
And like I constantly say Boris is an absolute joke. But why is he so far in front? You can blame what and who you like. Actually you don't.
So who do you blame?
So you don't see the problem with having someone as leader of the Labour party who has such a 'colourful' background which makes people doubt him?The implication is vote for Boris because he’s not ... whatever. When he is and it’s more recent and more relevant.
I honestly don’t give a shit about either of them really in terms of racism or national security. My issues with Corbyn and Johnson are naivety and dishonesty respectively. My bigger issue is with a Tory party that is just a lobby for vested interests and has no interest in improving the life of the average British person.
It’s the performative “oh I really really care about national security/racism” that bothers me when they clearly don’t. Especially racism. Get to fuck does anyone who votes Tory care about racism, and no one in their right mind can claim with a straight face that Labour as a party are anything but anti racist.
In terms of national security again not a big worry of mine but a PM with a dodgy social life that’s easy to blackmail, a bunch of MPs with links to Russia, and an ideology that involves selling off our national infrastructure to the Chinese bother me far more than “Oh Corbyn always believes the little guy”. If you listen to national security experts it’s what bothers them too.
Like I say it’s just disingenuous. Complain about policy like you do and we can have a sensible debate and maybe come away agreeing to disagree. This stuff is just shit posting for the sake of muddying the waters and justifying what is basically “I like him cos he’s on my team”.
My point has always been that he showed sympathy for the terrorists but never for the innocent especially women and children. Not even when forced into a corner.It makes me laugh how some of these poppy emblazoned hypocrites slag off Corbyn for showing sympathy for the Irish republican cause while they expect nothing but sympathy and respect for the British soldiers who have plenty of blood on their hands.
I'm no fan of Corbyns either.
Have you?I've answered these points multiple times. Stop replying on auto-pilot for once
only one of those statements is true. And it's not the first one!
Have you?
So why is it that Labour is so far behind when the Tories have that clown Boris in charge? Remember that the majority is supposed to be in favour of remaining.
The first one is accurate, it depends which half of it you want to believe. The below also suggests here’s not exactly always clear with the truth either...
In October 1984, two weeks after an IRA bomb killed five at the Tory Party conference in Brighton, Corbyn invited convicted IRA volunteers Linda Quigley and Gerry MacLochlainn to the House of Commons. It caused uproar at the time.
But in an interview with the BBC’s Andrew Neil last week, Mr Corbyn said: “I never met the IRA. I obviously did meet people from Sinn Fein, as indeed I met people from other organisations, and I always made the point that there had to be a dialogue and a peace process.”
On Sunday, in an interview with ITV’s Robert Peston, he said: “I have not spoken to the IRA… I’ve met former prisoners who told me they were not in the IRA.”
It’s not clear whether MacLochlainn and Quigley fall into this category’
Again, the choice is yours but you can’t say the statement I made wasn’t true. Whatever people thought of Thatcher and the Tories at the time the above was ill judged and horrifically insensitive and that’s if you’re being generous !
Thought it was a bore draw myself. A few open goals missed - e.g. Corbyn said that Johnson only got his deal through narrowly with the help of the DUP - I think they all voted against it! Johnson's hospital claims were stretching the truth and this could have been pounced on by Corbyn more effectively. Perhaps the 'referee' should be able to switch off microphones to silence candidates who talk over. A pretty dismal showing by both. It's policies not personalities that will decide my vote.
Can you show me any evidence he is an antisemite?

Whatever people say Corbyn and McDonnell are just a pair of Sinn Fein suck ups. Always have been and always will be
in the grand scheme it’s not too big a deal. Corbyn has to beat Johnson in these battles and he drew but critically lost on the prime ministerial point
My daughter is very left wing and would be a natural voter. She said yesterday she will not vote for him. She said she’d never vote for Johnson in a million years but said he’s a leader and Corbyn is a follower
that’s the problem. They picked the wrong suck up as leader
Last night you said Johnson won, now it’s a draw?
Corbyn won, you know it, I know it.
So Labour could be in the lead?Maybe because all the polling companies think that only about a third of people under 25 will vote. Re-adjusted polls to reflect 2017 turnout alone have the gap at less than 5%
So Labour could be in the lead?
How did you work that out?Last night you said Johnson won, now it’s a draw?
Corbyn won, you know it, I know it.
How did you work that out?
Corbyn wouldn't answer questions millions want to know the answers to. And he didn't play the game as good as Boris did when he kept saying about getting Brexit done when he didn't want to answer a question.
