Ex IRA member says that Corbyn has blood on his hands. The interview is actually from the Sun. Hilariously a Corbo spokesman tries to dismiss the comments as from someone who is a convicted killer.

You remember who COrbyn is, don't you?

It's not ideal, is it.

I did see that he's going to try and meet some campaigners for victims of an IRA attack. He should have made a priority of this AGES ago, he should have been addressing this, like the anti-Semitism stuff, absolutely head on.  A bit like not meeting the Warrington charity, it's certainly given the impression after 18 months that he thinks he's absolutely above reproach, and doesn't really care about whether it damages Labour or not.

You do understand that you, in particular, are an utterly vile piece of work?

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

What's hilarious about that? Ex-IRA man says whatever The Sun pays him to say. But it's just his opinion, you could get plenty more ex-IRA members saying Corbyn's dialogue with Sinn Fein led to the peace process.

There's an entertaining report this morning that Max Mosley has donated to Labour.

It's rather nice to see the old Labour families returning home to their party, isn't it, even if it takes eighty years.

Quoted for being unintentionally amusing.

The Downing Street roadies are out. Mother Theresa must be on the way.

You really can't read, can you? It's hilarious because of what the Corbo spokesperson said. Try reading things.

"It's certainly" is correct use of the apostrophe ffs Buelligan.

As in "it has certainly"

Mate The Sun aren't going to invent "ideal" news for Labour, are they.  Try to engage your brain before posting.

Mind you, all of your energy is now undoubtedly being spent working out how you can pretend Corbyn approves of the Manchester attack.  So you can be forgiven for a little lack of focus.

Fucking hell. Clear evidence of MI5 attempting to influence the election. And of course, Malteaser is right behind it.

'We interviewed someone from special branch' doesn't quite have the same ring to it, really.

Either way, someone utterly trustworthy.  You can certainly take his word as absolute fucking gospel.  You enormous dimwit.

No, I posted it in reference to the comment by the Corbo aide. Which I mentioned. Still.

All parties are currently divided, except UKIP who are united as one (voter).

But, paraphrasing Orwell, some parties are more divided than other parties.

Nope. Some parties are more obviously divided.

Has TFM managed to find a way to say that Corbyn approves of the Manchester attack yet?

I imagine he's composing an essay on it as we speak.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/24/son-top-jeremy-corbyn-aide-claims-manchester-terror-attack-came/

This is the article about "labour son on facebook".

QuoteThe son of Jeremy Corbyn's top election strategist said the Manchester suicide bombing had come at an "unbelievably ideal time" for Theresa May, according to reports.

Jack Murray, whose father Andrew Murray was recently installed as Mr Corbyn's election chief, wrote on Facebook that the media would be "entirely focused" on the attack rather than the "disastrous" Tory campaign. 

However, Labour has moved to disassociate itself from the comments by pointing out that the 30-year-old has never worked for the party or held any position.

Earlier this month Andrew Murray, a former member of the British communist party who once called Isil's victories a "series of sudden and stunning triumphs", was brought in to run Labour's campaign earlier this month having only joined the party in December. 

Basically, son says something obvious, then a quote from his dad saying that about Isil.

People seen this.

Fucking hell... There we go, an admission (from a media insider) that Corbyn has deliberately been portrayed as a terrorist sympathiser, and that this sort of event will play well for Theresa May.

colacentral

"Just be Prime Ministerial, just be Prime Ministerial, just be Prime Ministerial." "The social care stuff will be dead in the water."

They knew. I feel like the election should be delayed a week or two considering that days of campaigning and news coverage have been lost, but of course that will never happen. Labour supporters just need to pick up where they left off and hammer the usual points: social care, winter fuel allowance, fox hunting, u-turns on manifesto pledges. Share the Andrew Neil interview. It could come down to Paxman and Question Time, and hopefully they'll be about the real issues of the election, but I fear that they'll be framed about national security where the authoritarian will be in her element.

Are people going to trust Theresa May's ability to deal with terrorism when it took her three years and £1.6m of tax-payers money to deport one hook-handed cleric?

Probably more than they would trust Corbyn, sadly. Hopefully in two weeks time this won't dominate people's thoughts as much, when they should be voting for a whole number of issues, ideally.

Hopefully Corbyn's team will have had enough time to form a response to it all.

Hanza was deported in 2012. Two years after the Con/Lib government were formed. And Hanza used the Human Rights Act to stop the deportation. Unless you are saying she shouldn't have bothered with due process.
