Lol if you click my link you'll realise that's the very fake news I was referring to

The Sun's anti-Corbyn front page went to press before the Manchester bombing had occurred. None of the newspapers on May 23rd were able to cover the bombing as it happened too late

THE SUN SAYS The harm done by Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell sucking up to the IRA
Labour pair were snivelling IRA fanboys as it unleashed slaughter on Britain

It ALL needs to stop,whoever we like or don't like none of them have anything to do with this atrocity in Manchester, the ony people responsible are the ones who organised it and carried it out.It's like the Twilight Zone out there sometimes.

Ha, ha - the twilight zone sounds very apt.

Another good point
Its completely senseless writing, reading, or sharing **** like this.

How anyone could possibly have politics on their mind at a time like this is beyond me

A tory rag using an atrocity to push an agenda?...surely not

[Livia]

A sad, tired TiBB bickering session over which part of the gutter press is pushing which agenda at a time when people on all sides should have more respect? Surely not...

Indeed.

In Scotland the Sun backs Labour but opposes Labour in England. Wednesdays headline wasn't just offensive - it was fearmongering about the current Labour leader. They didn't want to do this for Scottish voters so used a different cover story.

There's a petition urging Andy Burnham to ban the Sun in Manchester and the same in Merseyside. It's also not sold in many places across Liverpool and Wirral, it's boycotted not only by the people but the suppliers too. When the Sun goes out free in the post, postcodes beginning with L and CH are missed out, as the post office workers threatened to strike rather than deliver it in Merseyside. I would not support a blanket banning of any media but I believe the boycott is reliant on people simply refusing to buy the paper and shops deciding its a bad idea to sell the newspaper.

The Sun have been cautioned repeatedly about using violent imagery in headlines when describing politicians since the assassination of Jo Cox. Yet they have refused to acknowledge the offence it has caused.

Polls are always biased towards Labour though, that's why we need to vote.

It never fails to amuse me when people say 'New Labour' as if it is some strange and distant entity that has nothing to do with Labour. Most of the people in 'New Labour' are still there. Jeremy Corbyn was an MP in 'New Labour'.
