By what logic do you equate Jeremy Corbyn with an Irish republican?
Pretty simple. He believes Northern Ireland should be part of an independent, united Irish Republic.

In case you're about to try and start one, I'm not remotely interested in getting drawn into an irrelevant debate on the difference (if there is one) between Irish nationalism and Irish republicanism. The point is that the DUP are never going to prefer a government that includes Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott(?) to having Theresa May in office.
 
You need to learn how it is used now, before you use it again. The alt- right use it to put down any one the disagrees with the racist, hate filled views.

You lot are hilarious. You go around spouting nonsense offending who you like but fail to take anything....

Take what? Who am I offending? I am perfectly chilled. Just saying you using snowflake doesn't paint you in a good light

Well. You are offending me for a start. But you crack on
 
You can be a very silly poster, Impsaint. You miss the obvious. Is it deliberate.? It's all to do with being a creditable and electable party, and most of those remainers realised that the Labour Party was the best vote to kick out the Tories, pro-hope vote, best for those who can't look after themselves vote, best vote for YOU vote [even if you don't think so]. London's traditionally Tory areas voted hugely to kick them out. That was their answer to not staying in Europe when a clear 70% of them wanted to.

You are missing the fact that on social media and at rallyes Corbyn has kept quiet about his Europe stance merely detailing the manifesto part.

While on TV and things the leavers especially the older ones are more likely to view they have been pushing the "ending freedom of movement and leaving the single market" line.

They have been selling 2 different lines to different audiences. Making the trad labour but leavers into thinking they are behind Brexit and letting the students believe they want to stay in the Single market.

McDonnell was quite clear on Peston.
 
I'm sorry, but May's campaign for Cyber regulation screams of 'IT illiterate person' scared of something they don't really know much about.

All whilst we need to help people stay safe online without spreading their personal info all over the place.

I agree but that is policy for lots of politicians. Scared of drugs so ban it. Scared of internet so censure it.
 
Hey Imps, here's bloke you could talk to, banging on about neoliberalism!

You must log in or register to see media

I quoted him to you the other day and you refused to read it because I mentioned the N word. He is a lefty socialist full on environmentalist though. Not just "righties" that hate the Ns.

Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson storms out of interview over DUP gay rights question

Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson walked out in the middle of an interview after she was questioned about Democratic Unionist Party’s stance on LGTB rights.

"We have to work with other parties and that means taking on some of their ideas as well," she told reporter, Ciaran Jenkins.

Continuing his line of inquiry he asked: “Just on the DUP. Theresa May yesterday described the DUP as her ‘friends.’ Are you prepared to use that word? Are they your friends?”

Miss Davidson replied: “Well look, I have friends in politics across many parties but what I spoke to the Prime Minister about yesterday was the need for a category assurance that talking with the DUP would not result in any roll back of LGBTI rights in the rest of the UK because as the Conservative party we are the party of equal marriage, we introduced it to the House of Commons and also we would use our influence to try and advance LGBTI rights in Northern Ireland and they are assurances that I got.”

But as he attempted to ask a follow-up question Miss Davidson walked off.

It is unclear why the Conservative leader decided to end the interview

Are they going to bring up Gandhi's letters to start banging on about the use of the word friend?

Grandstanding. She knows that LGBTI rights "in the rest of the UK" are not even under discussion or to be discussed. NI is devolved on that issue. She has gone in their to make a statement on something that is not even on the table and then walked out to try and make a story.

Seems sad she can't stick up for her sexuality and has to suck it up to keep her job. I couldn't do that ****.
 
Snowflake generation? <laugh>

You know only Alt-right dick heads use that term?

Only people who want to close down debate start trying to call anyone "alt-right" unless they are. Lots of left leaning people use the term snowflake as well.

Snowflake, especially social media wise is associated to alt-right, it's a simple fact. If some one says it, especially using it when talking about people being offended ( when they aren't) it becomes suspect for many my age.
