JRM is basically the right wing version of Corbyn. Both should just sit in the back benches and shout loudly and not be heard.

It's probably due to his ongoing Jew problem, or his hanging out with terrorists or because he supported the IRA and opposed the Northern Ireland peace processor. Maybe his Marxist views or maybe it's because he is Putin's right-hand man. Or could it be the CND support which had links with USSR. It could be because he is a massive Eurosceptic but won't admit it. Or is it because he is playing games with Brexit for political gain?
It could be any of those reasons bob but I think it's because he is an incompetent muppet.
Or maybe he is actually just a normal bloke. I don't mind him at all. Seems like a half decent fella to me. Seems pretty obvious that the Tories are terrified of his popularity as they try smear him constantly with propaganda bullshit. Good bloke
Popular bloke?
...
Come on bob be serious. I am presently listening to an interview and they are saying the Jewish arm of the Labour party has ditched him and will not deal with him. The MP was just asked "do you believe he is anti-semitic"? She just said "yes I do". 
It doesn't help either that at the conference dozens of Palestinian flags were being waved with Jezza looking on.
Actually yes. May has said a Canadian deal is worse than a no deal?Any more project fear bullshit from the Tories today Ellers?
I will need to think about that strange line from her.
Why was Germany’s £3.6 TRILLION war debt to Britain secretly written off in 1990? Asks MP
A FURIOUS MP is demanding answers after discovering that Britain signed away its rights to wartime compensation from Germany in 1990.

Daniel Kawczynski is a long-term campaigner for reparations for Poland, where he was born, and the UK.
Estimates put damage caused to Britain at the end of World War II at £120billion – equivalent to £3,620billion today.
Mr Kawczynski said he had been stunned to discover after submitting a written question to Parliament on the subject that Britain had waived its rights to any reparations following the reunification of Germany in 1990.
He then submitted a follow-up question asking why the reason for this, and who made the decision, and was told it was signed by then-Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd to “enable the united Germany to have full sovereignty over its internal and external affairs”.

Mr Kawczynski, MP for Shrewsbury
Mr Kawczynski, who is MP for Shrewsbury, said: “This seems like an exercise is sweeping it under the carpet.
“It was a terrible mistake to forgo this in 1990 and it’s sending out completely the wrong signal.
“I think the Germans have behaved appallingly here.
“They are very keen to tell us about the £40billion we supposedly owe them for Brexit, not to mention the countless billions we’ve already paid in, but they refuse to pay for the terrible destruction they caused to this country.
The decision was signed off by then-Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd
“It’s hypocritical and shocking.
“As for this decision, there was absolutely no debate on this at all which I can recall.
“The point here is that we are the last generation who can do anything about this.
“We are the ones who remember our grandparents telling us about the devastation caused by the Germans during the war. Otherwise it’s too late.”
The Germans caused billions of pounds' worth of damage to the UK during World War 2
The full text of the written answer to Mr Kawczynski’s follow-up questions, attributed to Minister of State for Europe and the Americans Sir Alan Duncan, reads: “The Treaty on the Final Settlement with respect to Germany definitively settled matters arising out of the Second World War between the parties to the Treaty, and enabled the united Germany to have full sovereignty over its internal and external affairs.
“The Treaty was signed on behalf of the United Kingdom by the then Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd. German unification was debated in the House at the time and the Treaty was laid before the House for clearance under the Ponsonby rule.”
Mr Kawczynski has vowed to keep asking for clarification as to the reasons behind the historic decision.
The damage caused to European countries following World War II was repaired largely thanks to a finance deal with the Americans known as the Marshall plan.
Britain only finished paying off loans taken out according to this in 2006 - 61 years after the end of the war.

Yes, it might be quoting the dictionary but it doesn't take a genius to work out what this billboard is about. It's obviously propagating whole transphobic trans-women are actually men view. Just because something looks benign doesn't mean it isn't actually an insidious message.
He is just a normal bloke who imo is right on a lot of matters including the evil of Israel

I was going to mention the Theresa May can't answer a question without a script but I rather suspect you don't think she's fit for office eitherBloody hell I have just watched comrade Corbyn on SkyNews making himself look even weaker than he is.
Asked a simple question why he said in 2017 that we should 'respect the referendum result' and now he is not ruling out a second vote? He stuttered and couldn't answer it.
just had a quick look at their website

She is weak and I don't trust her because I don't believe her heart is really in Brexit. The stupid side of me thinks this is one big master plan to derail the will of the people but we shall have to wait and seeI was going to mention the Theresa May can't answer a question without a script but I rather suspect you don't think she's fit for office either
