You do know that Thatcher (I assume you mean her and not May?) is still hugely reviled in this country don’t you?

Wow. Doesn’t seem possible. Mind you, I was trying to work out the first gig I went to recently and that was T.Rex in 1969 so that was 50 years ago.

Great lady? Dear God. You don’t get it do you? She was only great to people of a certain persuasion. So when Johnson talks about being a “Broad Church” I guess he is lying again.

I guess you need to peddle that to take the attention away from the Islamophobia in your party.

What amazes me is that you really seem to pleased to see the back of people who make the party appear more palatable to voters who want a middle ground party. You do realised that once your guy “Gets Brexit Done” (not that that is going to happen any time soon) the party won’t appeal to many normal, reasonable people.

I am happy to condemn both. But is it really actual hatred of Jewish people or is it support of the Palestinians?

Oh, well that complicates matters somewhat!

The right wing press have been smearing Labour leaders for as long as I can remember. The only one they didn’t go after was Blair, but then they liked him because he was a watered down Tory.

And what if they are not anti-semites? How do you feel about the lack of action against Tory Islamophobes? I am not a Corbyn supporter but I may well vote Labour for a second time as tactically they are the best chance to get the Tories out here. I have friends who do support Corbyn who would do if they thought for one minute that he was anti-Semitic or pro IRA. From what I can see he is pro peace and does what he thinks will bring people together, be it basic dialogue of laying a wreath out of respect to someone who has lost their life. He has made himself any easy target for the right wing press, but then they are so desperate to smear anyone or anything that will get in the way of the Government Zak’s Brexit they want they have even printed a load of lies about Bercow asking for £1m to appear on I’m A Celebrity - something we have categorically denies happened.

People with agendas, just like you. Whatever you think of him anyone with a brain cell can see he is a pacifist.

It appears nowadays that you are anti-Semitic if you sympathise with Palestinians.

I’m a fan? No, it’s just that I am sick of the right wing press and their constant smear campaigns.

A Daily Telegraph article. No agenda there then. I can find plenty of articles of him condemning the bombings and violence (on both sides). Hardly a ringing endorsement of the IRA.

Proven supporter of the IRA?

Encouragement

100% this. Human beings respond to encourage far better than they do abuse.

Seeing the same toys I used to play with in antique shops.

Watching Helen Mirren on The One Show last night and remembering I used to fancy her in the 70s.

I know plenty of people who don’t know who there local MP is. Technically we vote for our local MPs but I do believe that most people vote based on the leader of a party. That is why the right wing press spend so much time and energy attacking Corbyn.

You sound like an editorial from the Mail, Express or Sun Nick. We need a change of Government. The poorer members of society need help. The middle classes need help. Character assassination is all well and good what what we need is a PM and a party with very different values than those of Johnson’s and his Tories.

The big difference is that if we don’t like a Government we can vote them out every 5 years or so. In 5 to 10 year’s time when the economy is shot we will not be able do anything about it.

You really can’t help yourself can you?

I am going to miss John Bercow. I doubt many of his own party will miss him though.

Why do we need to get behind one person? I know it’s an old fashioned concept, but what is wrong about getting behind the whole club?
