Not sure if anyone really cares about Frost resigning. Is it any great loss, i mean he negotiated this great deal only to decide it wasnt actually a great deal at all. Yeah no great loss in the grand scheme of things.

A man, aged in his 70s, has been arrested on suspicion of encouragement to commit arson. He remains in police custody. The arrest relates to a video posted online in which people were encouraged to burn down MPs’ offices.

Magic Grandpa's bro...

Can you imagine the amount of spittle on keyboards had this been a Tory advocating the burning down of MPs' offices?

What a knob.
 
What party does he belong to?

From Wiki
In the 1977 GLC election he was the International Marxist Group candidate for Lambeth Central.

Piers Corbyn left the Labour Party in 2002 in the run up to the invasion of Iraq, and stood as an independent candidate in the Southwark London Borough Council elections in 2015. According to The Sunday Times in September 2017, his attempt to rejoin the Southwark Constituency Labour Party in January 2017 was blocked.


So by Labour Party rules, he could not have been a member of the labour party in 1977 ( you cannot be a member and/or campaign/stand for another party), but he obviously had joined by 2002...when he then left, and hasn't been since then. Any attempt to rejoin, has been blocked.
Can say a little sense seems to have prevailed

Yes, I'd seen that Beth. He's plainly bonkers. I'm not sure why anyone should want to make a party political point out of his barminess.

He still makes political points, whether he belongs to a party or not.
He's clearly on the far left of politics, like some on here.
My point stands that had he been someone who clearly had far right views, the howling and wailing on here would have been deafening.

Surely people are free to howl and wail at him, certainly wont get any objections from me, hes a dickhead. Infact i dont think you would get any objections from anyone.

Col I was giving a factual answer to a question "what party does he belong to".

I think you know my views on anti-Vaxxers of his ilk. I have howled and wailed at them, and in one case banned them. I despise them with all my heart, for what damage they are doing to society and to impressionable people throughout the world. If Piers Corbyn came on here he would be banned for his views before you could say "Jack Robinson". I would also howl and wail at him for promoting violence against any duly elected MP....ANY duly elected MP

You can be left, right or centre with your views and not tolerate outrageous, vindictive and plain nutty views presented by Piers Corbyn.

I think Col was actually responding to my post, Beth, but he prefers not to reply directly. Quite bizarre.

Piers Corbyn is barmy. No one on here supports his views. You're losing the plot, Col.
