[News] Sky Reporting Corbyn paid to spy on Britain

I wonder if those who are so quick to complain about the ‘Right-Wing’ press or the ‘rabid, right-wing posters’ were so quick to question the newspaper reports about CMD and the pig head?

I wonder if those screaming their indignation about this were also ridiculing on the other thread.

And, if both of these stories are true, which one whole have more serious implications for someone’s suitability for PM?

It seems that so many posters want to use newspaper reports to support their own views, but are quick to denigrate anything as fake news/propaganda which questions their position.

I never understand it when I read things like this. It’s complete rubbish. If you took a cross-section of the views on NSC I would wager it is the most left-leaning football messageboard in the country.

Look at the thread about Tom Daley- the vast majority of posters are in support of him and are taking the piss out of the old dinosaurs who have a problem with it. Do you think that would happen on Burnley’s messageboard? Or Millwall’s? Or 99% of others?

Quite old fashioned views you have of Burnley and Millwall fans.

100% true.

But, equally, we'd be a poorer board if it wasn't for opposing views. Although there are certain looney views I'd be more than happy to see the back of.

What if they are both lies? Who is spreading the most awful lies?

Back in the day he was a serial rebel Labour back bencher and as such I would presume he would not have been able to access any information useful to the Warsaw Pact.

Quite, I can't begin to imagine what secret information he'd got hold of that the Czechs didn't know about.

Those of us with longer memories will remember a Soviet defector had 'proof' that Harold Wilson was a Russian spy. That story was complete twaddle as well.

Murdoch must be running very scared ...

Could be? If it was true, it would be way past ending a political career, it's the worst offence against our country. I assume it's not true though.

Well, if it was reported by Sky it must be true, mustn't it? Right, I'm off to the Amex to watch our January signing Moussa Dembele ...

If this was a few hundred years ago, and if found guilty of treason, he would have been hung, drawn and quartered. Very messy.

To be fair, quite a few people on here still live in the past so it's kinda relevant.

I have no idea. I’m sure there is a degree of ‘truth’ to both stories, but it’s the way these things get extrapolated and insinuations made which then leads to the way a lot of people view things. I.e. they see the sensationalist headline and not the actual facts, or these come from an ‘un-named source’.

Blimey. So we've got IRA sympathisers passing secrets to Russian spies on one-side, and corporate henchmen stashing all their cash overseas, supporting banks and businesses to pay no tax whilst destroying public services on the other.

One wonders why so many people were desperate to 'return power to Westminster'? When you compare our lot to statesmen like Michel Barnier its really amazing the referendum wasn't about handing over all responsibility for our country to the EU :lol:

Correct , NSC much more liberal and left wing than any other message board

You seemed to have an idea of which would be the most damaging to a would be prime minister, if true, I am surprised then you can't pick the worst if it were untrue.

The bloke hates Great Britain it’s no surprise he has been linked to such allegations! The sooner David Miliband returns to these shores the better.

He will rescue the Labour Party from the extreme left and make the party a credible opposition again and indeed an alternative to the current shower of shit IC of our great nation!

Why am I not surprised. You can never trust a Marxist, especially with the economy and the defense of our country. Hope all the useful idiots that voted for Corbyn and his sinister henchmen feel suitable embarrassment at their stupidity ��

Forgive me if, like others, I wait for a little more information rather than trust that hateful rag. A simply moronic comment
