Portland Bill Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 May be so, certainly a man who escaped justice.That said, he never invaded British territory, never enslaved any of it's civilians, or murdered any British subjects. He murdered plenty of his own though, and was lauded by Thatcher.As for the Falklands, let's face it, Thatcher and her government were keen for the Islanders to look towards Argentina only a year before the conflict. Tory cuts were to take away the only ship that linked us with the Islands ( HMS Endurance ).Thatcher had the lowest ratings of any PM ever in 1981, but by inviting the Argies 'on' she manipulated a war.Callaghan's Labour government sent a task force to the islands a few years before to warn the Argies off. This worked and not one shot was fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 it's labours long time flag ship policy, 'hate the tories'. As much as I agree that Labour have a rich history of relying on people to vote for them based on an "I hate the Tories" platform (a laziness which has contributed to their current predicament IMO), I don't think they have ever done anything as utterly scaremongering and baseless as Dave's recent "Labour are now a threat to our national security, our economic security and your families security" statement. I genuinely think that was a new low point in British politics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshy Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 is that to resume the 60's/70's policy of trying to bring down an elected government with strikes?. It will be worse than France under Hollande, another day another demonstration, another day another strike, or Greece under Syriza.

Yes - a real possibility. But all is fair in love and war.Sad if they have to resort to it but you can't exactly say the Tories don't exploit other avenues to get power.Lets see how things develop.

Going to be interesting.Wow are you for real?, the use of politically motivated strikes to bring down an elected government, unbelievable, back to mob rule then. More Daily Mail inspired hysteria...Not really, try living in France even you would get pissed off.The union employment book is so big they are reducing the print size so as union officials don't injure their backs carrying it and it increases on average 2 pages every 3 days, an employer has to hold meetings with staff if he wants to change the type of lightbulbs that he uses.But the best bit is unlike Corbyn, Ms Hollande is actually the president of his country and can change laws to improve the lot of the worker and they are striking for higher pay, lower taxes, job security etc. and what does he do?, he says he supports them, surely the knobhead would be more credible if he did something to help, something that he actually has the power to do?, again one couldn't make it up.

chipdawg Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Sometimes the truth hurts.At the time it was sent out, he'd announced no policies, hadn't finalised his shadow cabinet and was leading a party in opposition, so i'm not going to worry too much about my families welfare at the handsof "Jezzilla" just yet. More melodrama than an episode of Hollyoaks. I have deep misgivings about Corbyn's past and many of the policies he'd see implemented (as well as very much supporting some), but coming (in effect) from the mouth of a sitting prime minister, it's pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a former union member in a unionised workplace, I hope they remember that they're there to represent workers, not make vast political statements through asking those workers to forgo their wages. Striking has it's place (the new Trade Unions Bill is likely to attract perfectly justifiable industrial action), but it shouldn't be used as a broad political tool, as it was so often in the 70s and 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
