Yeah - will really support the police that

This 're-engineered conviction' of his comes conveniently only after he becomes Labour leader and therefore a possible PM candidate - so basically exposes his shallow nature that he will seemingly say anything to hide his real beliefs - he does so much of that now and there are some not able (or willing) to see through the dissembling.

But setting that aside - will this mean, if Corbyn's dissembling wins the day, that police officers when facing terrorists will have to make some decision on the spot of whether, as an individual, they might be putting their liberty at risk when defending citizens against the threat.

Let's just hope that they do not hesitate and take time to think through the way Corbyn has supported the investigation/prosecution of soldiers that have had to kill in the line of duty.

The Labour Lobbyists are out in force on the thread today I see. The backhander from Putin must be a good one.

Top economists = Labour supporting economists. Increase Corp tax by anything over 1% a year and it's an instant recession and investment in UK PLC would dry up overnight.

That's so absurd it's not worth of a reply. The Corp Tax would be 2% less than 2010, as has been covered by Tory supporters on here - there's many more considerations which is why everyone hasn't based themselves in Ireland already.

Stop throwing facts at them, it only serves to disorientate them.
It is also unfair.

Unbelievable you would hand our the ability to make up laws on the spot to a party that cannot even tell you when they can sort Labour's debt out.
Anyhow, have you come up with sliding charge of terrorism yet?

Corrected for accuracy. The Tories may well have sorted the debt out earlier had they not been held back by the Lib Dems and a bunch of socialists crying about austerity.

As it happens, in the end, I think the Tories have got the balance just right as to cut 'too far and too fast' could choke off the recovery. I think Labour had a point with this when they 'finally' stopped pretending (pre Corbyn) that there wasn't a problem with the UK's deficit as they did prior to leaving office.

At her press conference today May was invited by the Press four times to criticise Trump over his tweet which slagged off Sadiq Khan who of course as Mayor of London is a democratically elected representative of the British people.
She refused.
Disgraceful and weak.

Quote from Corbyn's speech:

'No government can prevent every terrorist attack. If an individual is determined enough and callous enough, sometimes they will get through'.

They got through in 7/7 in a much more sophisticated and devastating manner than any of the recent atrocities. Were there cuts then?

Blaming the Tories and police cuts is reprehensible in the extreme and blatant electioneering.

Not to mention he started yesterday evening having agreed to not be campaigning yesterday.

If he does get in I will piss myself when the lefties on here realise what utter mugs they've been taken for. It's almost worth it.

And that is all anyone can ask of you, thank you.

And I will genuinely do so - thank you

Am I wrong in the belief that we are leaving the EU regardless now that Article 50 has been triggered?

I don't think there has been a legally definitive answer to that. Some say it can't be reversed, some think it can.

The LWNJ's will not allow any such thinking on here - but there are a lot of traditional Labour voters (even me) that could vote Labour if it was not for these 'loons' leading the party at the moment. I could not vote for them this time as I want to leave the EU and unless the Conservatives win on Thursday that will not happen.

But I could in the future if they were not led by people so out of touch with the values of the majority of UK citizens. What pisses me off about Corbyn these recent weeks - and his motley crew - is that they get bigged up for being true to their beliefs etc. - where in fact they have been dissembling/prevaricating and if needed lying these last weeks in an attempt to secure votes - are they therefore not just as flawed as the more traditional politicians that they criticise?

I would vote Labour if it wasn't for those 3, esp. Corbyn and McDonnell. They simply hate the west and so make excuse after excuse for those organisations who also hate the west, whether they be Russia, Iran, Hamas, the IRA and so on. He's cast as some kind of genuine politician, but he's one of the most deceitful, slippery characters I've ever seen involved in politics.
This country desperately needs a strong, sane Labour party. My hope is that the trend in the polls (a stain on this nation's reputation itself, nvm if he were to get into power) isn't reflected in the result. The far left needs to be swept out of Labour, for the good of Labour and, more importantly, the country.
