Pathetic isn't it? Have people really got nothing better to do than waste their time doing this stuff? Liverpool kick off at 8pm I believe.

You are wasting your breath, [MENTION=1200]Harry Wilson's tackle[/MENTION] is a snowflake who prefers his echo chamber and will soon have everyone who dares question him on ignore.
Good grief. Repeating a fabrication doesn't make it any truer.

Thanks for posting that. Even I had been taken in by the 'no smoke without fire' brigade to a certain extent. So, Thatcher repated ad nauseam that she would never deal with terrorists while all the time secretly doing exactly that, and is revered as a saint by hoards of blinkered rightwingers for not 'dealing with terrorists', yet Corbyn is pilloried for being an IRA 'sympathizer' on the basis of sweet **** all.
I suppose you could argue that anyone incapable of dispelling a mendacious narrative about themself is unfit to lead. Equally, one can argue that anyone too weak to stop people bullying them is unfit to be left in peace.
Anyway, I'm not interested in a conversation with congenital Corbyn haters with their endless quotes from Breitbart and the Daily Mail.
I don't even like Corbyn - I would rather not have a prickley introspective pontificator in charge of the country. Tony Blair is the only decent PM we have had in my lifetime (and I go back as far as MacMillan).
That enough of this thread for me. It is not even a page long yet and it already stinks to high heaven.

Not only did you resort to telling lies about someone being a terrorist sympathiser, you then tried to back it up with meaningless tosh, and you now grizzle when you get called out for it and you want to lecture me about feeling 'put down'? What do you think you're trying to do...?
I wasn't offering an opinion, by the way.

People arguing keeps people preoccupied from the real issues.

I'm astonished that you've fallen for this too, Buzzer.
Who or what is Tone Wolf? Did you mean Wolfe Tone who died in 1798?
He wasn't on that editorial board. He didn't support the IRA nor its actions - quite the opposite. Read the link I posted.

I think he must be going through some sort of crisis. I’ve noticed him blocking lots of people lately if they happen to disagree with him on anything. Obviously not that confident in his own beliefs that he can’t tolerate any dissenting voices. What a loser
It should be.

Yes Wolfe Tone. My mistake..
If he was JUST for a United Ireland and he wanted to support a peaceful group he could have befriended the SDLP. They are even the sister party of Labour in N Ireland. It's a perfect fit yet he completely ignored them and became best friends with Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness. They are the ones he stood alongside, who he defended and promoted.
So please...spare me the sophistry and admit what is plainly obvious. He was an IRA sympathiser.

And Corbyn was on an editorial board that praised the Brighton bombings.

No you were offering an alternative view as a fact so it’s pretty clear what your opinion is. You are saying that Corbyn isn’t and never has been an IRA sympathiser FACT aren’t you?
I was suggesting that you might be taken more seriously if you didn’t always feel the need for a put down when disagreed with. I don’t really care that you were sneering at me. You aren’t that important to me.

Excellent, It's your democratic right to not vote, sit on your hands and whinge about who has been elected.

No sophistry here.
The SDLP wasn't linked to a terrorist group; Sinn Fein was, so trying to encourage the IRA to lay down their weapons was Corbyn's priority - albeit not particularly from a position of power. Corbyn, Adams and McGuinness may have had similar social political philosophies, but that's massive difference to supporting the latter's violent means - something he clearly is struggling to make people understand.
Meeting them isn't the same as defending or promoting them, as was shown by the fact that he didn't meet them anywhere near as many times as the Government did during those years - meetings that went as far back as William Whitelaw when he was Home Secretary in 1972.
