    I think many English voters would disagree with you. They know they have to put up with Sinn Fein in the Government, not many like it especially when they know they killed Brits.

    I'm not keen on Pinochet or Putin but world leaders have to be.

    Nope. 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.

    No need to insult blind people.

    Though given the choice I'd hug Davis a hundred times over Abbott.

    Thatcher 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.
