Off Topic The Politics Thread

If you started an arms struggle tomorrow, and bombed and shot and kneecapped innocent civilians, Corbyn and MacDonnell would be round to your house offering their support

 

Should we of hung Willie Whitelaw for meeting up with the IRA or is that different ‘cos the meetings were in secret and no photos exist ?

 

All the while the Tories will be supplying the arms and bombs

 

****, just gone outside and two guys from the street are fighting over a parking space. I'm going to try calm them down but only talk to one of them and not the other. I just pray nobody takes a picture!

 

Unlike Labour and Blair who lied to us and got many people killed including British soldiers. And if you want to discuss this, You can speak to my partners friend whose husband was killed and left 2 young kids thanks to Blairs lies.

 

Send me their number

 

It's one thing for government to meet terrorists clandestinely to try to bring an end to violence. It's another when a back bencher gives active support to an armed struggle and honours the terrorists.

 

Where do you get it from? It's hilarious

 

That's a nice thing to say about a widow.
I don't want to talk to this muppet anymore.

 

So no arms were sold between 1998-2008 when Labour were in government?

 

No point mate, muppet

 

Explain why

 

Active support and honoured???? Is that similar to selling weapons to the Saudis or not?

 

You tell him ellers

 

As I say, Labour and Conservative governments have sold arms to sovereign nations

 

It's hilarious the way these things are portrayed by remainers.
The first 15 years of Brexit!!?
What a load of bollocks.
No one knows what might happen at home or worldwide in the near future to effect the economy after Brexit.
This kind of scaremongering insults people's intelligence.
(By the way, when I voted leave I realised that I may take a financial hit for a short while, but I voted on principle, not for monetary reasons. Having said that, I have enough faith in my country to believe that we will be fine no matter what kind of Brexit we get. I would certainly prefer a deal that is good for everyone, but no deal is better than a bad deal).

 

Very true. I suppose it will always happen it just annoys me

 

Fair enough, we'd all like an arms free world. As you say, there's no foreseeable prospect of that

 

The whole country will have to bear the cost of your principles though, Col.

 

Don't be so sanctimonious. Just because you will be able to get by doesn't make it alright for those less well off.

"No Deal" IS a bad deal, BTW...
