Corbyn refuses to condemn the IRA

[DodgyAgent]

How do you jump from his not answering a question to him making out the UK and Hilter were equally to blame?

The stuff you come up with is very creative, if always a little focused on supporting your rather obvious bias.

Why not? If you are a pacifist then nothing justifies war. Mine is a reasonable conclusion to make. If he says that the British were just as culpable as the IRA for killing then there is no concept of "one side being in the right" and the other not. Presumably then the same principle would apply to all wars including WW2. Of course I have bias - we all do. I am prepared to argue my bias others are not.

The utter desperation of the anti-Corbyn brigade is hilarious.

If he's such a joke why are you people going so out of your way to discredit him?

That £3 I spent is turning out to be one of the best investments I've made just for the bumbling hysterical Tory show



Keep it up - at this rate you'll have the whole country talking about exactly why he believes and says what he does.

Looking forward to tomorrow's anti-Corbyn instalment. I'm counting on you DA not to disappoint!

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

Even if that were to be the case - and I don't subscribe to that idea, Corbyn doesn't even seem to be even handed in applying that.

Ask him whether he condemns IRA killings - and he awkwardly sidesteps the question "I condemn all violence", I think to paraphrase in a recent interview.

Ask him whether he condemns British Army killings - and he practically salivates at the prospect of answering the question and cant wait to stick the knife in.

And can you cite actual evidence of this?

Being middle class is something to be slightly ashamed of. Being working class on the other hand - or better still affecting to be working class - makes you seem more heroic......As long as you are ‘left wing' you are not only a nicer person but you are also ‘radical' and therefore not boring. If on the other hand you are ‘right wing', well that means you are ‘reactionary' and mean......Business enterprise is essentially disreputable whereas getting a living off the public purse or in the arts and media is highly civilised. Being an engineer or a scientist is OK too, up to a point - for boring people anyway.....And of course all the problems of people in the rest of the world are the fault, not of those people themselves but of the prosperous West. More specifically, the blame lies with ‘the capitalist system'; not you personally of course. You show how much you care by going to Live Aid concerts and that makes you feel much better about yourself.

In the obsessive struggle to subvert the perceived social hierarchy, a new politically correct hierarchy is rammed down your throat. At its apex would be someone like a Red Indian lesbian; at the bottom of the heap would be a middle class, Southern English male. In the latter half of the last century this mentality spread through all professions and institutions and so has become self-perpetuating. By the time the influence filters down to the population at large it is so diluted as to be just a vague lack of confidence in Western civilisation and a linguistic fog of moral relativism which disorientates people and makes them doubt their own common sense instincts about right and wrong.


Of all institutions the most powerful in this respect is the mass media, on account of its insidious ability to drip-drip its influence on every aspect of the way you perceive the world beyond your own direct experience. Everything you know - or think you know - about, Iraq or ‘global warming' or ‘the latest social research' on this or that subject, you probably got via the media. The great media conjuring trick is the illusion that it is merely a transparent window whereas in reality it is a window, richly decorated with mythology. It breathes into your ear things like this:-

All people in the Third World are shouldering with dignity a burden imposed upon them by the West in general and America in particular....All businesses are probably trying to screw you....You as a consumer have plenty to whinge about....Politicians should do something about each and every one of the problems you encounter in life....And if you are making a mess of your life its because someone else should have given you more information or more help.

The trouble with all this apparent social conscience is that what really drives it is not some profound humanism but the desire of a highly privileged elite to feel better about themselves and stave off the unconscious and sublimated self-loathing which was drip fed to them at university.

So can you cite any actual evidence, rather than another hyperbolic opinion piece? As in a reliable quotation, in context.

PS Did you recognise the quote?

Who else but the anti-Corbyn

It's Corbyn's ideas and beliefs that people are attacking though, not him personally.

The examples are on here a all the time. We hear the sanctimonious posturings of liberal lefties piously asking me questions about what I give to "good" causes - the answer to which is if I do i do not feel the need to show off in order to display what a "caring" and "virtuous" person I am. I do it because It makes me feel better about myself not so that I can be judged favourably by other people.
The reason i constantly point out the fact that contractors are amongst the richest elite on the planet is to remind them that whenever they wail sanctimoniously about bankers they are opening themselves up to criticism.on the same lines.
Corbyn is the worst sort. Clearly he hates everything that Britain stands for and what has made it into the most civilised country in the world. He goes so far as define the fight against terrorism as of a moral equivalence to the acts of the terrorists themselves. He does not sing the national anthem. He clearly hates the military and will never hit out at the enemies of Britain and its regimes no matter how tyrannical they are. He hates the public school system - not for any practical reasons. He hatesd the enterprising capitalist culture that underpins the success of the UK - despite the fact that it generates vast fortunes that are spent on left wing (useless) institutions.
Nothing he stands for is supportive of what makes Britain the favourite destination in the world to come and work - except perhaps the benefit system.

And with useful idiots (I prefer hypocrites) like you people like him will always have more influence than they should
