I happen to agree with you nick, The Tories should be absolutely hammering Corbyn, this should have been the most pointless election in my lifetime yet the gap is closing & the Tories have no idea how respond.

The mountains are calling & I must go.

What's the point? You equate May as being as bad as Corbyn. It's obvious that what is important to you differs from me.

Like I say, man overboard.

More national debt and people who can't do sums?

Eh? How do you work that one out?

This isn't just Johnson. The US intelligence agency, MI6 reports, and seemingly half the cabinet have previously echoed what Corbyn said, yet now condemn him.

In my eyes the only criticism of Corbyn is that his comments don't go far enough. We still support and rely on Saudi Arabia, for example, who helped fund the Mujahadeen which Bin Laden emerged from, and were primary financiers of ISIS. Even now they are driving millions of Yemenites in to poverty, starvation and exile. ISIS and Al Qaeda are both growing exponentially in Yemen.

If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

Whatever foreign policy we have, whatever concessions to Islamic ideas we have still they would want to blow us up, still they would want to have an Islamic totalitarian regime here.

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

A recognition that an extremist section of a minority feel resentment over foreign policy is not an excuse for a policy for appeasement.

Poland took part in both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars....They don't get Islamic terrorist attacks, they are very rare in many eastern EU countries for obvious reasons.....though I doubt you would support the political decisions that led to that....even though there are people alive in Poland now who wouldn't be otherwise.

Extremist groups have been a serious problem in Yehem for a long time...for a significant time before the House of Saud got involved.

Yours and others wishful thinking attachment to a foreign policy that appeases to reduce attacks is nothing short of simplistic thinking. The problem is here....thanks for the stupidity of idealists....it is here now....and different governments or foreign policies won't change anything.

There have always been high level supporters of a policy of appeasement. It's gone from official governmental policy in the past to being derided as a fool's path.

I guess you can guess what I consider it as.
