The end of the Labour party

[apelike]

 

Terrorism is very often a matter of perspective.

 

True, wasn't Mark Thatcher also a terrorist and involved in a Coup and yet allowed into this country for his mothers funeral.

Lots of practice.

While he was in prison for terrorism.

 

Did he or are you referring to the myth that he made the anti-Mandela poster while at uni?

Equitorial Guinea wasnt it? I seem to recall he pled guilty to financing it in South Africa.

When you call a terrorist organisation like Hamas and Hezbollah "friends", whilst an elected Member of Parliament and therefore a public figure...is that 'sympathising' or 'support'?

To err is human. But only victors ever get to revise history, and Corbyn isn't (enough of-) one.

 

Mmmm, It's a bit like when MPs refer to each other in the House of Commons as 'The honourable gentleman' when they're clearly not.

 

Perhaps they should refer to 'The lying git who fiddled his expenses opposite..'

It was the party line at the time, and I see no reason to suspect he would divert from it.

I guessed it would be then.

 

Could we have a link please?

You specifically named David Cameron as having 'roundly condemned' Nelson Mandela. Do you not see the difference?

I'm not defending Cameron here, but there's no evidence whatsoever he was involved in politics whilst at uni except to aid his drinking, he had no specific links to any anti-Mandela campaign, he's never been recorded as saying anything against Mandela, in fact quite the opposite even when he was a v young MP he stated that Mandela was a personal role model. He did travel to SA under apartheid as part of a group of anti-sanctions lobbyists but that's the only real link he has.

 

Thatcher was a terrorist supporting scumbag, like her own son, but Cameron doesn't seem to have been.

Which terrorist organisation did she support ?

meā culpā.

Pinochet. She openly called him a personal friend, invited him round for dinner as a friend rather than a state visit and tried to assist him when he was charged with war crimes. How's that for starters?
