Rudolf's Mate Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I have absolutely no issue with any party that listens to people and changes one or more of their policies. And I'm not saying that in defence of the Tories. Any party should be able to listen to its voters/public and accept they've made a mistake.

maroonlegions Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Not bad for a big bad nasty terrorist sympathising 1970s leftie. Jeremy Corbyn closes in as dramatic poll shows Tory lead has been slashed even further Labour has narrowed the gap with the Tories as the party enjoyed its best poll performance since Jeremy Corbyn became leader.

maroonlegions Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Corbyn rightly points to Austerity cuts that have been made to the police and security services in his speech. By sating that any government must minimise the threat of terrorism on our streets and it does not start with making Austerity cuts on the numbers of Police on the streets and cuts to other security services. "This is my commitment to our country. I want the solidarity, humanity and compassion that we have seen on the streets of Manchester this week to be the values that guide our government. There can be no love of country if there is neglect or disregard for its people". "No government can prevent every terrorist attack. If an individual is determined enough and callous enough sometimes they will get through". "But the responsibility of government is to minimise that chance ? to ensure the police have the resources they need, that our foreign policy reduces rather than increases the threat to this country and that at home we never surrender the freedoms we have won and that terrorists are so determined to take away." On Friday, Corbyn will deliver his most important speech of the election. And The Canary has a copy of it | The Canary THECANARY.CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonlegions Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 One thing that has struck me is the lack off accountability of Mays past when she was Home Secretary from some quarters of the Tory based MSM. That she was once the Home Secretary and was in a position to secure our borders but stilled done Arms deals with such brutal regimes like the one in Saudi Arabia is fundamental in regressing or limiting at least the threat of terrorism atrocities on the UK mainland. From Austerity cuts to the Police and security services as mentioned before it does makes me believe that she cannot be trusted with the bigger picture of combating or minimising threats to the UK from terrorism abroad. The UKs involvement in over seas actions like red Tory Blairs Iraqi invasion which was based on lies regarding WMD is a factor here. Every action has a knock on event and that knock on advent could very well be back firing, it has NOT solved terrorism the streets of the UK. Our actions like the Iraqi war could be seen in the light of making a problem worse and not better. Of course our resident right wing utra neo Con Selfservatibes,"(Tories), will spin Corbyn as nothing more than a terrorist sympathiser and a cranky old out dated left wing radical who is in bed with ISIS.

pablo Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 It's based on their voting record in Westminster, either by siding with the Tories or through abstention. One manifesto that will never see the light of day doesn't change their behavior over the last 5+ years. Sounds a bit similar to the SNP talking Left at Westminster in opposition while acting Right in power at Holyrood. Passing on Tory austerity measures, cutting local government budgets.........

elvoys Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Total horseshit, every word in your post is severely right wing garbage. Tell me this though , you really think that May is in any way a caring woman who cares for the poor,who is not afraid to stand on soap boxes and speak openly and directly at the people?? Your "utter creep" comment is more closer to home than you realise, that woman MAY for instance has had as many u turns from her parties manifesto proving she is any thing but a strong and stable leader, she is in fact all over the place. lol; That woman who point blank refuses to have a one on one debate with Corbyn and who called a snap general election when she had promised never to do so. Corbyn at least has integrity and a heart and unlike May and people like her Corybn is sticking to his words unlike slippery cowardly May , who incidentally was torn a new one by Andrew Neil in an interview she had with him when he slated her on her failures of previous promises she had made on national debt and immigration. When May was Home Secretary she was responsible for mismanagement of border controls that made Mr Bean look smart. She and her party have also contributed to the loss of over 20,000 bobbies on the streets and made cuts in security services and lets not for get her arms deals with the highly vile country Saudi Arabia.?? Rancid corp of a party is better served with May and all she stands for, which is self interests for the cooperate elite , Tories eh, they give true meaning to the term Selfservatives. 'Garbage' as in 'don't hit me with facts'? Please dispute the following stated and leave your feelings and ire about the right to the side - Corbyn named Hamas and Hezbollah as his 'friends'. He thinks Islam at it's core is a religion of peace. (Eid msg last year) He talks about radicalisation and never mentions the 'I' word in security speeches. (I need to know if hes worried about radical poets). He attended IRA rallies and invited Sinn Fein to parliament day after Brighton bombing. He voted against 13 anti terror bills including one to designate Al Qaeda as such in 1998. His right hand man McDonnell voted against G Friday agreement. With Galloway he addressed 'the people' and blamed the UK democracy project in Iraq for the choice of a British Pakistani family man and devoted Muslim to orchestrate and blow himself up on tube on 7/7. He hosted press TV show - an Iranian state propaganda Chanel (a country which executes gays) where he discussed the worldwide Zionist conspiracy. He thought Chavez and Venezuela were bang on the money and true heroes. Oh and for what is worth I give two fs for Theresa May ('sharia has brought many benefits to our country). But her vapidness means she is less likely to get in bed let alone align with anti west on such a regular basis as Comrade Corbyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And besides, the new "tax raising powers" is a trap, was set up intentionally as a trap and has been acknowledged by all sides as a trap. Deary me.

No I don't see the SNP as responsible. If they genuinely felt though that greater public spending was the way forward they have the means to raise more through taxes. They have chosen not to. That smacks to me of political expediency in that it allows them to jump up and down about the nasty UK government, without trying to make the best of a bad situation.
