He HAS broken a law. The Attorney General has conceded that in Parliament today. He abused his power in proroguing Parliament. The court found him unlawful in doing so. They went further in saying parliament should not have been and in fact was not prorogued at all. That it was never legally prorogued. It isn't just from now. They found him unlawful doing it then when he did. Of course he and his advisers have broken a law. John Major did prorogue too. Not for the length if time Johnson intended to. Unlike you. I would be saying that unreservedly about any party PM, not just this Con one. If people cannot trust what a PM says and he/ she is found to have been deceitful and acting unlawfully. That person should never hold the office of Prime Minister. No matter who or what party they are from He's been PM since July and has been found to have misled the Monarch and acted unlawfully. He should lose any and every chance now. Out of sheer decency alone. |

As for trust and decency, this is the man many here would prefer as PM.
Unbelievable. The true extent of Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell’s links with the IRA is revealed by a Telegraph investigation. It can be disclosed that for seven years running, while the IRA “armed struggle” was at its height, Mr Corbyn attended and spoke at official republican commemorations to honour dead IRA terrorists, IRA “prisoners of war” and the active “soldiers of the IRA.” The official programme for the 1988 event, held one week after the IRA murdered three British servicemen in the Netherlands, states that “force of arms is the only method capable of bringing about a free and united Socialist Ireland.” Mr Corbyn used the event to attack the Anglo-Irish Agreement, the precursor of the peace process…………. The disclosures are made after research by the Telegraph in archives in London, Oxford and Belfast. They come after the Prime Minister, David Cameron, attacked Mr Corbyn last week as “terrorist-sympathising” and “Britain-hating.” The new revelations were greeted with shock and disgust by victims and opponents of the IRA. Lord Tebbit, whose wife, Margaret, was permanently crippled by the Brighton bomb, said: "It’s hard to think how Corbyn could sink any lower. It’s the classic definition of the snake’s belly. He betrays his hatred of democracy and his love of violence, which survives to this day.”............. Between 1986 and 1992, Mr Corbyn attended and spoke each year at the annual “Connolly/Sands” commemoration in London to honour dead IRA terrorists and support imprisoned IRA “prisoners of war.” Programmes for the events have been obtained by the Telegraph. The programme for the 1987 event, on May 16 of that year, praises the “soldiers of the IRA,” saying: “We are proud of our people and the revolutionaries who are an integral part of that people.” The programme for the 1988 event, on May 8 of that year, states that “in this, the conclusive phase in the war to rid Ireland of the scourge of British imperialism… force of arms is the only method capable of bringing this about.” The event took place the day after the funerals of the service personnel killed by the IRA in the Netherlands. Each programme includes a list of IRA “prisoners of war” who are to be honoured that year, including the Brighton bomber, Patrick Magee, and sectarian murderers. The lists include their prisons and birthdays, with IRA supporters in the UK encouraged to send them birthday cards in jail. Mr Corbyn typically spoke alongside senior figures from Sinn Fein, including Gerry Adams at the 1991 event, at which he attacked “British imperialism” and praised Bobby Sands, the IRA terrorist who died on hunger-strike. In a telephone interview during the recent leadership campaign, Mr Corbyn was repeatedly asked by a BBC interviewer whether he condemned the murders by the IRA. He five times refused to answer the question directly, saying: “I condemn what was done by the British Army as well as the other sides” before the line went dead. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/pol...IRA-links.html The IRA killed thousands of innocent victims and injured ten times as many during their murderous campaign. Yet you would ignore all that, his immorality, his skewed principles, and have him as PM of this country. You people are a joke. |

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/a...tain-rp79dvvmk Diane Abbott backed victory for the IRA in an interview with a pro-republican journal, The Sunday Times has found. Abbott, who will become home secretary if Labour wins the election, said in the 1984 interview that Ireland “is our struggle — every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.” The interview was found during research by The Sunday Times in Irish and republican archives....... And..... The same files disclose that the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, personally led or took part in at least 72 separate events or actions with Sinn Fein and pro-republican groups during the years of the IRA’s armed struggle — far more than previously known. These included a petition to Downing Street on behalf of Hugh Doherty, a member of the IRA’s Balcombe Street gang convicted of killing seven people, and protests against the extradition of Dessie Ellis, a top IRA bomb maker who has denied links to about 50 deaths. Lovely, decent, trustworthy people, these current Labour worthies. ![]() Britian will be in safe hands with them, eh? |

Brexit can't cause an end to peace. The responsibilty will lie with those who use guns and bombs to kill and maim innocent people once again. There is NO excuse for that.
But you didn't comment on Corbyns actions, did you? Nothing to say about that? |

Many in britain believe ireland is irish and british presence in northern ireland is a remnant of colonialism IRA was not the first or last organization's who fought for independence with violent means. I dont approve of terrorism but if you condemn them, condemn most of independence seeking organizations including founders of israel, the Kurdish. Even polish armed uprisings during partitions of poland. Luckily reason prevailed and we have peace. |

So the IRA atrocities were Britains fault and will be again. I see. I assume then that you didn't comment on the pieces about Corbyn and the IRA because you agree with him because their murders of innocent men, women and children were Britains fault. Got it.

The situation is not that clear cut bc half the population wants to stay with Britain. IRA and loyalist terror have never been something i approved of but whether we like it or not, it happened. As to politicians and their views, not going to condemn some but not others. Even the current government supports murderous regimes across the world My personal view is those you quoted wouldn't say the same thing now. Last edited by Twosugars; 25-09-2019 at 03:19 PM. |

I'm talking about an individual, not a government. I've never heard of a British or Irish leader of the country speaking at a terrorist rally even once, never mind over 70 times, have you? I've never seen them, photographed heads close together, whispering with a terrorist commander, like Corbyn? I've never heard of them attending terrorist funerals either. If I did, I would outrigt condemn them and I certainly wouldn't want them as my PM. Do you condemn Corbyn for what he did? |

It will, and it will be Britain's fault. Your second point, it will indeed sadly. Your last point, it is never the answer and to even risk it returning and increasing is reckless. |

In that case as it was a tv appearance and not a gift, trip or speech I would say it was an oversight, but as it's Diane Abbot it will of course be made out to be something other. :/

An oversight you say....well sorry but I wouldn't be praising someone who forgets to declare money as many times as it took her to get to 17 grand... Sounds a bit Grabby, greedy and dishonest if you ask me...not someone that should be praised as a shadow home secretary...then of course you have her comments on the IRA, her hypocrisy surrounding public schools...the lust is pretty long. ..far far too long for someone to be praised or respected as a politician. ![]() Also her comments regarding white mothers not wanting or going all out as much for thier children as black mothers do..makes her racist imom Last edited by Beso; 25-09-2019 at 04:36 PM. |

![]() I support Labour, broadly. I do condemn him for supporting terrorism, but not independent Ireland. Do you condemn loyalist terrorism? Do you condemn injustices of centuries long British occupation? I still want labour government though. |
