No but he liked to associate with IRA peeps while they were blowing up our fellow citizens and a well known Hotel in Brighton.

The only thing hilarious about that is that you believe the rabid right-wing press.
Yes, of course Corbyn was bessie mates with the IRA. UnlikeThatcher who was a close friend of genocide-perpetrator Pinochet, who murdered tens of thousands of people:

I'm sure if the current Conservative Leader had associated with numerous terrorist groups one which was responsible for killing many of our people you would be equally dismissive. Apparently sticking a red rosette on someone excuses anything.
Mrs T seemed to think the UK owed Pinochet a debt of thanks after providing assistance to British Forces during the Falklands. Not sure what Corbyn was doing then but I'm guessing he supported the Argentinians.

I'm the antithesis of a Corbynite, but for the sake of accuracy this was his stance at the time of the conflict:
We resent this waste of unemployed men who are being sent to the Falklands to die for Thatcher and Galtieri. The Foreign Office has been doing deals with the junta for years. A tide of jingoism is sweeping the country. Already £1.5 billion has been spent on this invasion. It is a nauseating waste of money and lives. We are spending all this at a time when we can’t find money for houses, hospitals or wages, not for world hunger, not for aid to north-east Africa. Yet they can commandeer ships like there’s no tomorrow, and send people to die in the south Atlantic. The whole thing is a Tory plot to keep their money-making friends in business.

Corbyn is an insipid, not very bright old style socialist idealogue who was perfectly happy drawing an MP salary in a safe "right-on" Labour seat, out of the limelight and sitting quietly on the back benches, enjoying the luxury of being able to tilt ineffectively at a whole range of Labour party policies, Government policies and other miscellaneous international political issues. An ineffective, invisible, scruffy socialista rebel, but not the kind to make you lose sleep at night! He responded hesitatingly to the call from the Left to field a candidate at the leadership elections and came to "power" by mistake in the midst of party disarray. Now he's there, the Labour Party left wingers and their behind the scenes student socialists and ageing lefties will not let him stand down and his attendance at Glastonbury seems like an attempt to connect him to his yoof vote, although I suspect a percentage of the Glastonbury crowd will be green wellie, glamping, Pimms drinking Tory boys and girls. All I know is that if I was e'd up and off my trolly the last thing I would want would be to listen to him wittering on in that nasal monotone unless accompanied by a booming back beat.

Rather a stupid point.
Corbyn knew the crimes his friends had committed. Nice to see the Corbyn fans comparing their boy to Mrs T as a means of defending him

I'm quite confused about all the backlash on here as it's a left wing political tent at Glastonbury that's been going for bloody years. I didn't raise an eyebrow when hearing the news.
Here's Tony Benn's spech in 2008, to a rather packed tent. I know Glastonbury has gone mainstream but it's grown too so there'll be still the packed tent, the same left wing interested parties listening. Maybe a few open eared Tories too just to hear what a proper politician sounds like.

Fair point I said I was only guessing. Guesswork which was partly based on his recent suggestion he wanted a powersharing deal for the Falklands.

You seemed confused about why some people didn't like him. I was just showing why you would have to be a morally bankrupt tw*t to think any other way.

No I said I was confused why everyone was throwing their toys out of the pram just because he's a speaker at a small left field tent at Glastonbury. He's not a ****ing headliner - although I'd rather watch him than Adele, or was Adele in the IRA too? I can't keep up.
Tory morals. Chocolate teapots.

Shut up you tit
He was among the few politicians in the 1980s to call for WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED MUCH LATER - a dialogue with Republicans and a peace deal. If he'd have been listened to back then, many lives both Irish and British could have been saved.
If we had listened to utter right-wing shit ***** like you, we'd still be at war and people would still be dying

Ah yes, the TORYgraph. A very reliable and unbiased source of information about the opposition...
Been twice to Glastonbury festival (once working, once watching) and 'young' people were few and far between. V middle class event, (champagne socialists spring to mind) Reading and Leeds far younger crowd.

Look forward to hearing him. There's always some interesting stuff in the Leftfield tent. The Pussy Riot women were eye opening last year.
