Again agree Corbyn has faults but bloke is loyal to his beliefs and isn’t scared to hide them

Now I’m a Corbyn supporter but that is the biggest load of bollox you’ve come out with so far.
He was (and privately still is I suspect) totally against what the EU has become and many on the Left, are utterly disappointed in his new pro-EU stance.
 
It's to do with him having relationships with terrorists again, unlike all other MPs like May/Johnson/ Fox who have had nothing to do with any terrorists, because Saudi Arabia are not terrorists and are doing the right thing with the weapons we sold them, in Yemen. All ****s.

That’s right. It’s only those nasty conservative types that do things like that when in government. You wouldn’t find the head of a Labour administration - let’s call him Anthony - sucking off the Chinese leader or a US president. It’s all ****ed up, Woody, but the only difference here is Corbyn blatantly chummying up with sworn enemies of the U.K.

I can cope with the hypocrisy - it’s hard to avoid it - but I at least want the leader of HM Opposition appearing to act in the country’s interests.

I'm not making the case for Corbyn, and yes, Blair is also a **** with vast quantities of blood on his hands. Was just talking about him with my family. I worked in his house when he stepped down. Wish I knew then what I knew now.

I'm pro none of these ****s. The word terror is banded about to help identify the bad guy. Britain are as guilty as any others.

It’s all about oil, Woody. If they didn’t have any, we’d not give two figs about ‘em.
 
Well said Woody
Not about Oil Uber that was 20 years ago it’s about our arms trade
I believe the UK buys it’s bulk crude from Norway Algeria Russia

It’s surprising how foolish you old guys are at times

There again I am a thicko

It’s always about oil. Yes, arms trade is important to our industry, but I suspect we’d have a larger attack of conscience about selling arms into that region if they didn’t have the hydrocarbons we crave.

I’ve worked on and off in oilfield services for the last 20 years. Doesn’t make me an expert by any stretch of the imagination - and, yes, we pipe hydrocarbons from Putin too - but Saudi remain the largest and most important producer.

Yes, I can be foolish at times. Wibble.

What have remainers done for us?

- Forced the removal of May and Hammond,
replaced by Boris, his own cabinet and Cummings -
Forced our leaving on No Deal -
Forced an early GE to remove undemocratic liars from their seats, strengthen Tory majority.

Well done all, keep it up!

I suppose this will become true in short while if he maintains his current trajectory. Awful, hate-filled little gobshite prick.
 
I’ve probably not seen enough of his work but never really got the hate for him.

Actually, I don’t hate anybody apart from my ex-wife (and that’ll pass). I find the sneery, superior, unpleasant way in which he delivers his opinions on shows like QT particularly irritating, but comments such as “I’d gladly throw him off a tall building” are generally to amuse more than anything.

Mind you, if I thought I’d get away with it and he’d land on the former Mrs Uber on her way to Primark... :)
