BIB, your support of the disabled is very left so you're calling yourself bonkers for having that policy.

Edit... And do remember who's leadership is suffering all of these ISIS attacks.

Labour suffered the biggest terrorist attack in UK history when they were in charge so by your logic they are responsible for that?

So he's likely a Blairite using a terror attack to push an anti-Corbyn agenda.

How many laws are The Sun able to break before the Newspaper gets shut down for good?

I never said responsible, I'm just saying that the Tories aren't as tight at holding off terrorism when they're in charge of a country.

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

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.

There seems to be minimal damage to Labour, and maximum damage to the Conservatives, in the aftermath. People are asking why this terrible incident wasn't caught earlier, and the simple answer is that Tory cuts reduced the police force, and they were unable to stop this in time.

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

Let's get a bit of reality here shall we - the tories didn't commit this act of terror - Muslim extremists did. Let's lay blame squarely at the feet of those who planned and carried out yet another attack on the free world in an attempt to not only get the attention they so crave but to also put the fear of God into ordinary people.

Going by all the terrorist apologists and appeasers on here they are doing a pretty good job.

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'.
