I think you've not done yourself any favours when you can't even spell his name right!

Maybe grown up discussions aren't really for you?

Indeed. And anyone who can call a socialist dictator like Fidel Castro a champion of social justice or can claim that Venezuela was the shining light and that we should all look to Hugo Chavez for inspiration...is a little silly I think. Not to mention frightening.

It's not grammar policing, it's just good manners to call someone by their proper name.

It's Jeremy Corbyn....not hard is it?

Why? You don't like that he helped broker a peace deal? I'm guessing you would rather not be *ex* forces and still be serving in NI on the border then? Don't worry, the Tories are trying to ensure you will be back there again soon!

I agree. Im ex army. 3 tours of NI but vote labour. Ive had enough of the tories giving to the rich and taking from the poor. Homeless vets. The disabled being made out to be scroungers. It has to end. Hes not perfect but the tories are killing people everyday.

Ah, the Castro and Chavez ware terrorists meme.

You do know that prior to Castro Cuba was owned and run by the US mob and that the reason Cuba and Venezuela are in the mess they are in is because the USA has been prosecuting savage economic wars against them for years and in the case of Cuba decades. The countries most deserving of the label frightening are the USA, Russia and us (UK). In the last couple of decades we (the 3 of us) have been responsible for millions of deaths round the planet and 10's of million deaths around the world in the last 70 years.

It's a myth about Corbyn that he's some saintly fighter for peace. He's actually an old fashioned anti imperialist. His abiding theory is that the west is to blame for whole of the world's ills, hence anyone who is anti West is objectively on the side of the angels. So he'll meet with hamas and sinn fein but never with Irish unionists or Israeli settlers.

As a lefty myself I can't abide that sort of moral equivalence

It will be how you worded your post rather than the subject that would earn ban. Talking about bans could end up with another so maybe best to drop it.

Nope...he doesn't speak with them.

In fact, have you not heard the phrase "While they refuse to accept the concept of a united Ireland, we cannot speak to them".....Caucasus meeting 25/5/85.

....and that was the position for so long with the Ulster Unionists who were arguably the more moderate of the two Unionist parties.

Now will you actually give a fact or perhaps just outline another urban myth please?

Seriously?

The guy is a joke, he didn't even want to be the leader of the Labour Party.

Team him up in government with McDonnel fucking up the economy, and Abbot putting her foot in it every time she opens her mouth, and the country will go downhill faster than an Olympic bobsleigh team!

Yes...we are talking about when he was speaking to one side only during the troubles. May I remind you that the Good Friday Agreement is 20 years old. Before that during the troubles, he refused to engage with either unionist party, but flirted quite openly with those fringe nationalist parties who refused to condemn all violence.

Jump ahead to his flirtations with middle eastern groups. Whether you support one side or another, the fact that he consistently refuses to engage with the Israeli powers tells us that his motives are not to bring about an equitable peace for both sides.

The point is that a peace broker needs to engage with both sides during the troubles. To engage with one side only is effectively empowering thay faction.

Not at all.....what i am saying is that if you put yourself out as a peace broker, then you should be talking with both sides.

During troubles, Jeremy Corbyn has consistently only talked with one side ..... which indicates he was not a peace broker, simply supporting the group that suits his personal political manifesto. If he was honest and said that this was his approach, then whether we agree or disagree with his viewpoint, he may engender a little more respect.

Unfortunately his association with one side and not another not only tarnishes him but does not exactly assist with removing this government.

Subsequently, should the Tories win the next election as a result, he will be guilty of a serious political crime.

Yes...we are talking about when he was speaking to one side only during the troubles. May I remind you that the Good Friday Agreement is 20 years old. Before that during the troubles, he refused to engage with either unionist party, but flirted quite openly with those fringe nationalist parties who refused to condemn all violence.

Jump ahead to his flirtations with middle eastern groups. Whether you support one side or another, the fact that he consistently refuses to engage with the Israeli powers tells us that his motives are not to bring about an equitable peace for both sides.

The point is that a peace broker needs to engage with both sides during the troubles. To engage with one side only is effectively empowering thay faction.

you are talking utter bollocks now. you imply that there are only two unionist parties in parliament and if that's what you think then it is utterly pointless disuccing anything with you until you get your facts straight

Not at all.....what i am saying is that if you put yourself out as a peace broker, then you should be talking with both sides.

During troubles, Jeremy Corbyn has consistently only talked with one side ..... which indicates he was not a peace broker, simply supporting the group that suits his personal political manifesto. If he was honest and said that this was his approach, then whether we agree or disagree with his viewpoint, he may engender a little more respect.

Unfortunately his association with one side and not another not only tarnishes him but does not exactly assist with removing this government.

Subsequently, should the Tories win the next election as a result, he will be guilty of a serious political crime.

Utter drivel and ignorance .

Until that's a law then he's still in the game.

How come he has the youth behind his ideas if he's an old and out of touch old geezer .500.000 new people joined since corbyn and most of them young people.

The conservatives have the pensioners behind them.Not the youths.

It's obvious that labour policies appeal to the younger voter and the cons appeal to the older...

Being on the “right” side isn’t the same as being part of creating peace. Helping the “wrong” side, who are often in an entrenched position, navigate a way out of this is the difficult part. While protests etc help shine spotlight on problems, and are often a necessary part of starting the ball rolling, they are not in themselves sufficient.

"There is very little in life that frightens me... but the thought of a Labour Government with him, McDonnel and Abbot in it does make me worry.

Being kinder to the less well off, more respectful to the environment and less pandering to the wishes of big corporations worries you?

I’m not a labour supporter, but some of the fear and misinformation around Corbyn is astounding.

Seriously?

The guy is a joke, he didn't even want to be the leader of the Labour Party.

Team him up in government with McDonnel fucking up the economy, and Abbot putting her foot in it every time she opens her mouth, and the country will go downhill faster than an Olympic bobsleigh team!

First bit is a total untruth

The rest is unsupported opinion

"

first bit is true, he actually was quoted as saying, when he entered the leadership election process "You better make sure I don't win".

Unsupported opinion?

Ask any economist about what will happen to the economy of the UK if McDonnal carries out even half of the plans to re-nationalise various bits that are currently in private hands.

Just remember the note left on the Treasury desk by the outgoing staff of the last Labour government "All the money is gone"....and then factor in the chaos if this mob ever get their hands on the purse strings.

I think it will need a bit more than 'how could it possibly be worse' to convince disolutioned Conservative voters to switch to Corbyn's Labour.

South Africa may not be perfect or entirely peaceful but give credit to both of them for a relatively peaceful transition.

Corbyn is a moron and if you think he's a moron exercise your right to free speech and call him a moron. "

In deed. However it would probably be more convincing if you gave reasons why you think he's a moron; and even more convincing if actually attached him on his policies and why they are wrong.

Did the resulting problematic regime result from the will of the electorate or the machinations of the Tories?

I am not sure that the relatively peaceful transition could have been achieved without speaking to and obtaining the trust of both sides. The fact that the resulting elected government forcibly took land and failed to protect the economy was the price.

The alternative would have been to allow a bloody and violent civil war to continue......unless you would advocate armed revolution over transition by consent?

Auto correct (school boy error)

And to see a member of a political party going to A terrorists Funeral,infuriates me, further more he refuses to. Wear a poppy, is plainly anti semitic,

And I cannot find any way of voting Labour while he is the leader, not the kind of example, I would wish for, I have voted Labour, and am no Fan of Mrs may but, would rather not vote then vote for this pond life.

Underachieving because Labour should have won in 2017 and failed to do so. The blame is on those that fail to recognise that while left wing policies may be desired to sort out some of our problems, the delivery needs to be by a clean skin and not by a tainted and unelectable candidate.

You gave two examples from Africa .WTF is that about ,

Neither politicians with influence here.

You were asked a simple question.A living conservative mp to compare against corbyn..With regard to being anti war and involved in peace.

"Being on the “right” side isn’t the same as being part of creating peace. Helping the “wrong” side, who are often in an entrenched position, navigate a way out of this is the difficult part. While protests etc help shine spotlight on problems, and are often a necessary part of starting the ball rolling, they are not in themselves sufficient.

Without people getting the ball rolling there is nothing but the status quo on a endless loop.

Still haven't seen anyone name a living conservative equivalent.

See above and discuss....

A name is all I ask .A simple request one would think.

Lord Carrington in Zimbabwe....another relatively peaceful transition only corrupted by the resulting albeit elected regime.

How many do you want? Really .. Zimbabwe

Did the resulting problematic regime result from the will of the electorate or the machinations of the Tories?

I am not sure that the relatively peaceful transition could have been achieved without speaking to and obtaining the trust of both sides. The fact that the resulting elected government forcibly took land and failed to protect the economy was the price.

The alternative would have been to allow a bloody and violent civil war to continue......unless you would advocate armed revolution over transition by consent?

Dude it's you who has offered him in comparison to corbyn .

Truth is..there is no one on the right who has a pedigree of picking the right side of history.and as for you offering up FW de Klerk .Are you sure you're a lefty.Centre righty sounds more appropriate.

Examples were asked for....while they were conservative....or ultra conservative, the resulting transition in each case was peaceful.

Asking if i am centre right is what I was expecting....deflection from the debate.....a usual tactic of the under achieving left.

Underachieving because Labour should have won in 2017 and failed to do so. The blame is on those that fail to recognise that while left wing policies may be desired to sort out some of our problems, the delivery needs to be by a clean skin and not by a tainted and unelectable candidate.

So please,tell me why I should change my mind about him? Curious and this is a debate.

The original point was a cinservative within the last 40 years dude.......

Another selective memory the original request was

"Name one of your conservatives who have done as much to stop violence and war over the last 40 years.."

A tragedy is a catastrophe, often resulting in a large number of deaths. Having difficulty with where to put your X on a ballot paper is a personal dilemma.

While we're talking about 'tragedy' wasn't it Jeremy Corbyn who called the death of Osama bin Laden a "tragedy". "

Facts facts and more facts are irrelevant when you have hate in your heart towards the left and corbyn.

Those who say he's unelectable are obviously ignoring he got 40% of the national vote last time .I guess the plastic lefties dismiss 40% as idiotic young people voting for him .I suggest they vote Tory next time or libdem if they want centre right policies.

The man photographed at Bobby Sand's funeral is Owen Carron, his parliamentary agent and the man that succeeded him as an MP.

He does share an uncanny resemblance to JC though.

We are in a position where we are voting for the least worse of two extremes. I’d likely vote green or spoil.

My concern with labour atm is cultural. While I want those in government to have principals I agree with, I also want them to have enough leeway to find solutions that help the large majority of people, not just the majority of people who voted for them.

My impression with Corbyn is he is entrenched in his views and seems to suppress dissenting voices in his own party. While the tories are split by brexit, labour seem split in general.

Im also less impressed by the quality of some of his closest colleagues. I know it’s part media spin, but the few Diane Abbott interview where she smugly calls up presenters when they use her words (and policeWoMEN) and pivots / lies when confronted by facts worries me.

My final gripe with Corbyn is he went MIA during Brexit. I still don’t know his position. If he is conflicted, then he could have been a huge mouthpiece for the conflicted or confused. Instead we were bombarded with the two extremes creating the atmosphere we are now in. Similar to the debate on fraternising with undesirables, I see words that say discussions are needed but no actions which suggest he will facilitate dialogue.

Corbyn is to Labour what Rees-Mogg is to the Conservatives - someone who appeals to the dyed-in-the-wool wings of their party but is seen as too entrenched to win the middle ground.

Whoever can soften their offering to tempt the middle ground is the one who wins the keys to No. 10

No-one in recent history has won from the wings of right or left (except perhaps Labour in 1945, but I’d suggest the public mood of that ballot had unique features shaped by the depression and world war).

Not only that Corbyn also refused to sing the UK national anthem at an RAF veterans memorial service a couple of years ago. Corbyn's actions were Completely disrespectful to the memory of our armed service personnel who have paid the ultimate price for this country.

"It's not about war, peace, your missing a point, I feel my Opinion only, he is not going to be able to defeat the Conservatives, he is the most unpopular Labour leader in decades, even Blair was. more Popular

He alienates,rather the reunites

Unpopular with the press barons and the Establishment who have used everything they can to smear and villify Corbyn.

Popular with LP members who have joined in their thousands since Corbyn to make Labour the largest political party in Europe

It’s not the hard core members he needs to convince. It’s the soft labour voters, which i probably fall into.

I have said this for a long time. No need convincing the converts, it's the undecided and centre left voters he needs to win an election.

Who will the centre left vote for if not corbyn..The liberals have disappeared and won't be elected this century .The Tories are now kippers .

So there is no middle.If your a lefty and don't vote corbyn your as good as voting conservative.

Your choice is binary.

Binary is what British politics is now.

Conservative or Labour. Leave or Remain.

Plenty of scope for focused individuals or small parties to come along and gain vote share.

Really which small Party is ascending? . I voted green for 20 years(never again)they managed 1 MP the kippers only managed 1 When he switched from Tory.

There is only 2 choices Your either with the conservatives or your against them.

It's funny that you drone on about "facts, facts, facts" to others when you can't even get this right. Ukip had 2 MP's voted into the House of Commons, not one. "

Not true at all. Only Douglas Cars well has been voted into the House Of Commons, and is still the only person to win at a GE for UKIP.

The other two MPs (Spink and Reckless) have represented UKIP in the Commons by changing Party.

You're wrong. Suggest you go and do some research on it. Mark Reckless was elected into Parliament for Ukip after a by-election in the constituency of Rochester and Strood. Like Carswell, Mark Reckless defected from the tories to ukip and then stood down as a Tory MP, immediately standing for re-election as a Ukip candidate. Remember Emily Thornberry looking down her nose at white van Man with an England flag on the front of his house, that happened during the by-election campaign which Mark Reckless won for Ukip.

"Firstly apologies for not checking,

Auto correct (school boy error)

I served 2 tours in NI

And to see a member of a political party going to A terrorists Funeral,infuriates me, further more he refuses to. Wear a poppy, is plainly anti semitic,

And I cannot find any way of voting Labour while he is the leader, not the kind of example, I would wish for, I have voted Labour, and am no Fan of Mrs may but, would rather not vote then vote for this pond life.

Not only that Corbyn also refused to sing the UK national anthem at an RAF veterans memorial service a couple of years ago. Corbyn's actions were Completely disrespectful to the memory of our armed service personnel who have paid the ultimate price for this country. "

Not even that. He wore a poppy at the cenotaph last year, he didnt attend Bobby Sand's funeral......total tosh as usual from the rabid right

"Well I do believe he likes to rub shoulders with the leadership of Hamas

That sounds pretty bad I must admit. Can you expand on that at all?

He's shared a platform with Hamas speakers in the past (not only that the equally despicable Hezbollah too). Corbyn also called Hamas and Hezbollah his "friends". "

Yes, so thought it might be that.

Could you expand a bit more, perhaps by putting it in some sort of wider context.

For example, when he referred to them as “friends” he wasn’t being entirely literal.

Taken from an article in the subject that provides more background than simply jumping to context free conclusions:

“Undoubtedly the use of the word ‘friends’ was inadvisable, and Corbyn has apologised since (as he did during PMQs).

During a select committee meeting following the incident Corbyn explained that, as in the case of insisting on continuing conversations with members of Sinn Fein and the IRA in the late 80s and early 90s, the objective of the meeting in question had been to facilitate dialogue: ‘The language I used at that meeting was actually here in parliament and it was about encouraging the meeting to go ahead, encouraging there to be a discussion about the peace process.’

This was not an excuse invented after the fact to justify his actions. The recording of Corbyn that Cameron referred to during PMQs includes him implicitly criticising the British government’s refusal to attempt to negotiate peace talks, expressing his belief that they should be ‘talking directly to Hamas and Hezbollah’.

He justifies the meetings on the grounds that he considers it ‘absolutely the right function of using parliamentary facilities to invite people from other parts of the world so that we can promote that peace, that understanding and that dialogue’.

He has since been forced to make the obvious point that talking with Hezbollah and Hamas does not make him sympathetic towards their views. As he himself put it: ‘I absolutely do not approve of those organisations’?—?adding, ‘obviously, anyone who commits racist acts or is antisemitic is not a friend of mine’.”

"

Indeed. And anyone who can call a socialist dictator like Fidel Castro a champion of social justice or can claim that Venezuela was the shining light and that we should all look to Hugo Chavez for inspiration...is a little silly I think. Not to mention frightening.

Ah, the Castro and Chavez ware terrorists meme.

You do know that prior to Castro Cuba was owned and run by the US mob and that the reason Cuba and Venezuela are in the mess they are in is because the USA has been prosecuting savage economic wars against them for years and in the case of Cuba decades. The countries most deserving of the label frightening are the USA, Russia and us (UK). In the last couple of decades we (the 3 of us) have been responsible for millions of deaths round the planet and 10's of million deaths around the world in the last 70 years."

Well said.

I love how in most arguments on here people just ignore the Facts that they cannot argue with so they just choose to ignore them and carry on bickering over the other stuff!

So I say give labour a chance We most certainly are next election

Why would anyone in a stable mind continue to support this goverment bunch of tossers they are

"

I would give labour a chance..... IF they existed. The current Corbyn version is run from Liverpool by Militant Tendancy (now calling themselves "momentum"). Those of us with long enough memories remember how they almost hijacked labour in the 80s. Even Derek Hatton has come crawling back from the shadows! Current Labour! Be afraid....be VERY afraid!!!!

Corbyn is akin to Michael Foot - doesn't inspire leadership - to the whole country and therefore unelectable!

At a time when we needed a strong opposition we have no opposition

Beyond that he also needs to convince the disolutioned Conservative voters and the LibDem voter who doesn't believe the LibDems stand much chance. On both those he's failing badly.

I disagree. The choice is not binary at all. If Labour don't put forward a platform that is convincingly center left I doubt they'll do much better next election than last.

I'm no fan of Jeremy Corbyn but at least he turned up and I'm pretty sure he would've been there even if it had been raining, unlike one pretty well known leader visiting France the other day.

People have tried and failed to talk to Hamas, Hezbollah and others, but, and here in lies the problem, they aren't interested in peace.

They are backed by Iran, who's sworn intent is to "wipe Isreal off the world map", just how do you negotiate with that?

Sometimes, you just have to admit that, whilst any sane rational human would want peace, you can't negotiate with certain groups, and its pointless trying. This is why Corbyn is dangerous, I don't doubt he is a man of peace, but his blinkered view about this, and other issues, means he's not fit to govern.

No, but we should bypass those at the trigger end of the equation and cut off their support by holding talks with Iran.

International pressure can be brought to bare on them to stop funding terrorists, thereby reducing the terrorists ability to kill people.

Or there could be more international pressure out on Israel not to flaunt numerous UN resolutions with regards their illegal, unnecessary and provocative expansionist policies of settlement building beyond the recognised state if Israel.

“Undoubtedly the use of the word ‘friends’ was inadvisable, and Corbyn has apologised since (as he did during PMQs).

During a select committee meeting following the incident Corbyn explained that, as in the case of insisting on continuing conversations with members of Sinn Fein and the IRA in the late 80s and early 90s, the objective of the meeting in question had been to facilitate dialogue: ‘The language I used at that meeting was actually here in parliament and it was about encouraging the meeting to go ahead, encouraging there to be a discussion about the peace process.’

This was not an excuse invented after the fact to justify his actions. The recording of Corbyn that Cameron referred to during PMQs includes him implicitly criticising the British government’s refusal to attempt to negotiate peace talks, expressing his belief that they should be ‘talking directly to Hamas and Hezbollah’.

He justifies the meetings on the grounds that he considers it ‘absolutely the right function of using parliamentary facilities to invite people from other parts of the world so that we can promote that peace, that understanding and that dialogue’.

He has since been forced to make the obvious point that talking with Hezbollah and Hamas does not make him sympathetic towards their views. As he himself put it: ‘I absolutely do not approve of those organisations’?—?adding, ‘obviously, anyone who commits racist acts or is antisemitic is not a friend of mine’.”

People have tried and failed to talk to Hamas, Hezbollah and others, but, and here in lies the problem, they aren't interested in peace.

They are backed by Iran, who's sworn intent is to "wipe Isreal off the world map", just how do you negotiate with that?

Sometimes, you just have to admit that, whilst any sane rational human would want peace, you can't negotiate with certain groups, and its pointless trying. This is why Corbyn is dangerous, I don't doubt he is a man of peace, but his blinkered view about this, and other issues, means he's not fit to govern.

Because some people are against peace then we should just stop trying to negotiate it?! Really?!

No, but we should bypass those at the trigger end of the equation and cut off their support by holding talks with Iran.

International pressure can be brought to bare on them to stop funding terrorists, thereby reducing the terrorists ability to kill people.

Or there could be more international pressure out on Israel not to flaunt numerous UN resolutions with regards their illegal, unnecessary and provocative expansionist policies of settlement building beyond the recognised state if Israel."

I said or, but really meant and. For balance. But also talking directly with groups of possible. It’s a massive problem, and I would say every avenue should be explored where it is practical to do so.
