Seems it would need Tory rebels to bring down a Tory government to make it happen though, and that would be career suicide...and could spell the end of the two major party system.

You don't seriously believe that do you? it's not exactly helpful political discourse to suggest so is it. Anyway - it's Boris - official. How long before the resignations start and the vote of no confidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long before the resignations start and the vote of no confidence? Two or three before he's even been confirmed weren't there? Hammond, Duncan and another this morning I'd not heard of I think. Interesting times. Also, don't forget, 'one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter'. For Corbyn (1980 vintage at least and presumably still) the IRA were definitely in the latter category and he behaved accordingly (see also Hamas, Hezbollah). To anyone of even vaguely mainstream UK political thought, that made him a terrorist sympathiser at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Boris Johnson being named Prime Minister reminds me of when Derby signed Conor Sammon. I never thought I would play for Derby but Sammon showed me never to give up on my dreams. One day I could be Prime Minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of direct quotes from Corbyn on the Irish conflict condemning the bloodshed from both sides. He's a pacifist. Not like there weren't terrorist acts from paramilitary civilian organisations (UDA & UVF) on the other side of the conflict. Plus the British Army hardly covered itself in glory at times over there.

Which side was in the right? When one considers the question in terms of 1500 years of struggle for power in Ireland, and the bloodshed on both sides, no-one was right. When viewed in the narrower context of reaction to, for instance the Manchester pub bombings, or Enniskillen, or Brighton Grand Hotel, there is a right side and a wrong side of history. Corbyn was the wrong side of the line. Aaaah, but what about Bloody Sunday, or the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, I hear you cry...well the one doesn't set the other right. When things are shitty and people are being killed and dispossesed, a person should pick a side and own it warts and all. WW2 was right and proper to fight...but Dresden though? The rape of Berlin? You want to wring hands or end naziism? Corbyn's an idealist, unfortunately, idealists tend to get nothing done, and people killed while they do it. People are not ideal, are stupid, selfish and irrational in fact, and do not confirm to theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StantonRam Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 hi all I've got control of my email back now, yes Bojo looks useful actually, takes his style from Leeds I think, it's just a shame that in the clip he seems to be playing for Forest...
