They had files on and even tapped the phones of people who took part in the picketing and protests that happened when the Miner's Strike was ongoing. It didn't take a lot for MI5 to show interest in you back in the day.

Ask yourself this: why did they open a file on him in the first place? You can't arrest someone unless they actually commit a crime. Corbyn didn't actually carry out any killings himself, he condoned and lauded those that did.

He was arrested for protesting as far as I am aware.

No, I wouldn’t. Isis doesn’t come from nowhere. Isis doesn’t get its money from nowhere. Isis doesn’t get its arms from nowhere. Isis does have a whole lot of connections around the world, financial and others, which I think need to be robustly chased and followed.

Well, that’s a good start for doing it. The other one is to look at the situation in Libya, where you have a lack of government, where you need a stronger presence of UN diplomacy in order to bring about the start of some stronger form of government there. Otherwise you’ve got a problem which isn’t going to go away. And that is a view that I’ve put forward in what was intended to be a thoughtful contribution this morning of how we deal with these things. And I’ll think you’ll find actually quite a lot of the public would not disagree with what I’ve said.

Clarifying the ridiculous 'sit down for tea and biscuits' accusation. War and more killing is not the answer..that much is obvious. So why on earth do people insist on making out Corbyn is a clown for wanting to do something besides bomb innocent people?! Its so weird.

Because people are angry by nature and what most are really looking for is not a solution - it's vengeance.
