Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostWe will have to agree to disagree. Political leaders talk with all sorts. I am no more bothered about Corbyn and IRA terrorists than you are by Thatcher and Pinochet.
I'm not keen on Pinochet or Putin but world leaders have to be.

Originally posted by The_Equalizer View PostNope. I questioned your statement about Corbyn being a "decent honest MP" by mentioning he has a close relationship with Sinn Fein. A number of Sinn Fein's members, including those who Corbyn likes to take tea with, are not in the least bit worried about British citizens dying. In fact they have taken an active role in such deaths. Corbyn basically backs a 'cause' that sees Corbyn's fellow countryfolk as fair game. I do believe that MPs should put the welfare of their fellow citizens before all else. So is Corbyn a decent MP in my eyes - no.
What on earth that has to do with Brexit I've no idea.

Originally posted by The_Equalizer View PostNope, I that's not what I said or meant. What I would want in a leader of a British political party is not to have sided with groups that were actively (and indiscriminately) killing British citizens. That's the difference.

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostDidn't realise it's OK to have people round for tea who like to have non-British political dissidents raped by dogs. Thank you for clarifying for me.

Originally posted by The_Equalizer View PostThatcher didn't invite for tea people who wouldn't think twice about bombing or shooting you and your family. Bit of a difference in my book.Lady Thatcher has campaigned for his release ever since his arrest in London.
Pinochet was an annual visitor to her home in London after he stepped down from power in 1990, always sending flowers and chocolates on his arrival in England.
Days before his arrest he was invited for tea at the former premier's home.
