What was the motivation behind inviting them?

It doesn’t sit particularly well with me no but then it’s not enough for me to wish him not to be PM. A minutes silence and inviting them to talk in the HoC is hardly plotting. I’m not Corbyn’s biggest fan and several things about his past and present I do not like, I just want context, detail and balance.

He was arrested outside of the Old Bailey, involved in a picket with a pro republican group called Troops out at the trial of Patrick Magee, convicted of the murder of 5 people at the Tory conference in Brighton.

Let me guess he thought it was for something else?
 
There is that too.

He has said they’ll look at an alternative this time but the last Labour manifesto had it, you’re right.
We might be forced to if Scotland secedes and refuses to let the navy carry on using Faslane, or insists on a ridiculously high price. Funny how some people think that Scotland is totally dependent on England without realising that we need Scotland just as much.

This is what they had to say in the press in Belfast.

Mr Corbyn was detained after joining a picket at the Old Bailey organised by the Troops Out Movement to oppose the "show trial" of a group including Patrick Magee.

Magee was later convicted of murdering five people at the 1984 Tory party conference in Brighton. But a party spokesman said: "Jeremy was at the Old Bailey to lobby for a fair trial.

"A number of serious miscarriages of justice had taken place at the time, which helped fuel the conflict, making peace in Northern Ireland harder to achieve and increasing insecurity across the UK.
 
I’m pro-trident, you don’t need to tell me the benefits or sell it to me but as I say, it’s one aspect of a manifesto and I wish to read what Corbyn would do as his alternative.

I agree with you that it will make an interesting read regarding defence. I do hold the view that it really will be a difficult area to address regardless as to who is in power. I am afraid the way the world is at the moment we simply cannot cut corners without exposing ourselves to potential trouble. It really did say it all when we held the olympics and had to enlist the help of the French in order to watch the skies from the channel with their Rafales as we had not the kit at the time. We had no real maritime coverage from when we retired the Nimrod, then binned the new version and are still to fill that gap, though will be doing with a glorified 737 that has nowhere near the endurance...absolute genius from the Tories. A bit like letting Laporte go and replacing him with Phil Jones!

I do however concede that we can only speculate until we see it in writing but I really do not think Labour will provide much reassurance with defence.
 
Sorry I don’t remember every post by every poster plus housing estate isn’t much of a description in fairness.
1. You replied to the post in question.

2. Is living on a housing estate not worthy enough for you?. Has it got to be a shitty housing estate? More than 3 bedrooms and you're a twat, is that how it goes?

Jesus Christ they are bloody revealing some of your casual comments.
 
Bit depressing really how many people are still happy to go in to bat for Boris Johnson.
I might say the same about the numbers who haven't yet realised what a complete twat Corbyn is. There's a few still left and half of them hanging around here.

I actually think corbyn and BJ have positives. But in this modern world where we race to be the most / first to be offended or outraged its difficult not to just pick one tribe and sit on the Internet / social media agreeing with your own views.
