Unless they were Irish Catholics of course. Of course, neither side really comes off as superior, because they all have blood on their hands. Republican or Loyalist, ultimately, it was unavoidable in picking a side in the Troubles to avoid association with violence, once the civil rights movement fell apart.

Of course Corbyn was also right, to an extent, that peace could not be achieved without listening to the republican movement and granting it political legitimacy - What ever emotive issues people may have had about the Troubles.

Its lazy politics to score points on person, rather than policies.

In truth, the UK probably f**ked up its handling of the troubles from the start, and should have accepted the UN's offer to provide peace keeping duties.

I think I'd vote Labour if I was still in Streatham, just because Chuka does a fantastic job. However that also means voting for Corbyn. I follow alot of the Labour MPs on twitter and can't see alot of them retweeting what Corbyn posts, or campaigning with him. But then again 3/4 of the Labour MPs did vote no confidence in him last year, now suddenly he can run a country?

My area is also a Brexit area, but had a Lib Dem who is running again (He voted against invoking Article 50), so Tory will end up getting my vote. Best thing imo to happen, is Labour make some gains. Corbyn resigns and someone on the lines of Chuka gets the leadership. If not, and Corbyn fails to resign I could see a split.

Please remember to register though, whatever the result; your voice needs to be heard.

Is that the same Chuka who doesn't believe in free speech and wants social media companies to filter and ban views?

I totally disagree. Dementia will soon be the biggest cause of death so it needs particular attention.
I don't agree that people with more money should pay more toward their health care. Why? As long as those that cannot pay are helped then that is sufficient.

This system will ensure that people have help when needed and not have to give up their home. It is a brave proposal which effects traditional Tory voters and one that acknowledges that tough medicine is needed to avoid a total breakdown of care for the infirm.

Well they all want to keep their jobs (Those that were MPs). Could be why they are ignoring Corbyn's campaign and helping eachother instead.

Are you and new York mugman taking it in turns. I am flattered that I'm in your thoughts so much.
