"By pressing ahead with these cuts the Government is failing in its most basic duty – to protect our citizens. The planned cuts pose a direct threat to the security of our own people.
They must be halted. That means no reduction in numbers, essential equipment or helicopter support."
Corbyn seems to be a man of principle and it is this that has got him into hot water many times- by saying what he thinks is right rather than towing the party line.
Nah @MayDay, forget that, the best way to keep our streets safe and well policed is surely to vote for the woman working to reduce public sector spending. But what she can do? "There's no magic money tree". Unless of course the MPs need a pay rise. What a joke.
Lets start with the IRA issue
"No, I think what you have to say is all bombing has to be condemned and you have to bring about a peace process. Listen, in the 1980s Britain was looking for a military solution, it clearly was never going to work. Ask anyone in the British army at the time … I condemn all the bombing by the loyalists and the IRA.”
Sounds fair enough to me. After all peace in that area was eventually achieved through negotiation in the 90s. And he still makes it clear that he wasn't condoning what they did.
As for the nuclear issue, I don't know how the man can make it any more clear. Labour don't have any plans to get rid of trident. He isn't going to scrap it, but would rather focus on the here and now and work towards global disarmment, than entertain about hypothetical scenarios where he might have to use it. Yes he's completely against the very concept of nuclear weapons but who in their right mind wouldn't be?
This from bloke everyone on this thread is so desperate to defend all of a sudden:
http://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/jeremy-corbyn-the-artful-dodger-a-transcript-of-his-nolan-interview-31430884.html
Journalist asks the question 'Do you condemn what the IRA did?' and the guy just wriggles (although can't wait to slate British troops) before just ending the interview when he's got nowhere to run.
Teresa May be a lot of things - clueless, unprincipled, two faced, double dealing, liar, out of her depth - but she's a politician. That's pretty much the job description.
But standing for minutes silences at memorials for terrorists (although could barely muster the same respect for our war dead) and refusing to condemn them is not acceptable for an aspiring Prime Minister.
To parahrase Colombo 'Prime Minster? I would laugh if my heart was not so heavy about my poor country.'
Even if your specious assertion was true (because after all the EU is immune to terrorist attacks isn't it?) no Prime Minister will saythey are going to overturn Brexit as parliament can't be seen to be going back on the 'will of the people'.
Everyone knows May is against it but she's just playing the hand she was dealt by f**knut Cameron.
It's called politics.
She supported staying in the EU but the public have said that's not what they want so she's managing the situation. I think 99% of the ideas that come down from my senior managers are utter bullshit but I have to get my staff to implement them and back them or get another job. It's disgusting and soul destroying but welcome to real life not Jezza's 6th form common room politics.
And by your logic so if she's guilty of treason then so are the 52% who heard her comments about being safer in the EU and still voted leave.
By that logic nobody voted leave, since they are now voting for PM someone who campaigned for remain.
And by the by, the French voted against the EU constitution in 2005, only to elect as President someone who went on to ignore the population's vote and signed the european constitution anyway. So if May 'changed' position for aspiration for power, what makes you so sure she won't change opinion again?
Wow. Surprising Exit Poll. Let's be cautious here. But so far it seems May's risky gamble didn't pay off. A hung parliament. It puts the UK in a precarious and uncertain seat at the Brexit negotiating table, and it means that the EU and Brussels are wringing their hands. And so am I. Make no mistake, Brexit divides, and will continue dividing the UK for years to come.....and it could make the new EU without the UK a bit stronger.
It also means that the Brexit negotiation table, led by EU-negotiator Michel Barnier, will not wait for such elections :-). It means a better driver's seat for the EU to start with.
So let's wait before the EU Autocrats are wringing their hands.
Brexit will happen if they like it or not. Brussels behaves like a little child that has been taken away its favourite toy.
May failed miserably in her goal to at least gain 30 seats and to get a much bigger majority, thus having a better negotiation position for a hard Brexit. We can wait a long night, and maybe May will get a few more seats yes, but not her desired 350+ seats. So you can twist the story here. But this is how democracy works as well sometimes.
It's terrible. There is still a chance of a second election if a government cannot be formed.
