Deary me. So this utterly irrelevant MP, prior to a few months ago, whose only contribution to British democracy
was to vote over 500 times against everything, including terrorist legislation, has suddenly morphed into the love child
of Martin Luther King and Ghandi?
I also don't remember financial and military support for Al Qaeda or IS being in the Conservative manifesto.
Chamberlain tried talking to the Nazis, how did that work out?

If you honestly believe the British govt and it's lickspittles weren't in dialogue with the IRA long before the peace process came out into the open you're frankly a bit mad.

If it's alright for mrs thatcher, mr Callaghan, major and Blair to do so, never mind several american presidents, in fact every arm of the state to do so why does it offend you so much when a man who just happens to believe in caring for the weakest in our society by asking for the most fortunate to provide a tiny tiny bit of their excess cash does so?

It's either wrong in which case I imagine you'll be voting for none of the major parties or it's not wrong in which case step away from the keyboard and leave the man alone.
 
Anyone know which fuckwit is responsible for this ?

And do you think Corbyn's promise of £10 an hour is actually feasible?

I've roughly worked out that we have 12 staff who currently earn over the minimum wage at £8 per hour, if all 12 of those were to be moved up to £10 an hour that's £24 extra an hour we'd need to find x that by a working week of 40 hours then by 52 weeks a year and we suddenly have to find an extra £49,920 per year. Add to that that plenty of other staff are currently earning between £8-£10 per hour so they'll be extra increases. Apart from that you're being forced to bring pay up of some staff who maybe aren't worth more, little responsibility, no pressure etc and it creates problems around the workplace.

Now imagine how many pubs, cafes, restaurants etc are going to manage? Pubs opening at 12 with 1 staff member earning minimum pay during a quiet day will now either have to put prices up forcing customers away or have to open later, not going to do any good but force companies to lay off staff imo.

You've made your mind up mate, fair enough.
It was Jezza who solved the Ulster problem, so this IS lark should be a piece of cake.
June 9 can't come soon enough.

You're happy for others to top up the wages you pay? For me and everybody else in here to subsidize you?

It's £1 extra than what the Tories are proposing and won't come in place till 2020
