Ok ok ....so it's persecute Moby time now is it.....I mean't Angela Eagle deputising for him in question time and in the Commons....obviously been googling a response to me again Generali! No matter how hard you try it doesn't replace actual experience. Now run along and look for another google source to prove your point;)

I wasn't trying to persecute you. Actually I thought my response was quite a gentle mocking considering that you seem to think that I have no knowledge about UK politics and are really rather patronising about it.

Let's be frank, you have no clue. You have no idea what you are talking about. You think that the deputy leader of the Labour Party is a woman and that was your defence of Mr Corbyn's blatant misogyny.

I'm not going to get into insulting you as you are clearly capable of dishing out enough insults for us both and some but you really should consider whether you are blinded by your football-fan style support for Labour to the reality of Mr Corbyn's leadership.

BTW, what do you think about the IRA yourself? Do you think that Mr Corbyn's support is reasonable or is the IRA a group of terrorist murderers in your opinion?

I'm asking you to withdraw this?

I'm simply asking you to answer the questions about Corbyn (and indeed McDonnell and Abbott etc)

why would anyone be offended about answering simple questions about 'major' political figures

(go on you can ask me whether Thatcher supported our boys in the Falklands )

I suspect moby has scampered of with tail between legs. Moby has made a bit of a fool of herself.

Ok.... I get that you think I have no clue and am a fool etc. I just happen to think that you glean your politics of the UK from the internet and live in a bubble. I knew Tom Watson was his deputy by the way, I made a mistake ..... I meant to refer to Angela Eagle as his deputy in the Commons. So be it. Your child like relish in pointing out my error says everything about the general paucity of your argument in relation to Labour/Corbyn etc. You just repeat time and time again the same well worn cliches and say nothing new. I'm fully aware of the reality of Corbyn's leadership for Labour......I'm a member!....and have said he is probably unelectable because he is a campaigner not a leader. 'Football fan style' or not at least I don't live in a faux world in which my politics is defined by social media. You see to me.... you and others on here as well are just cheerleaders for the unfettered marketplace. Such a site attracts such types I know. Nothing wrong with that....but we do need a bit of balance here sometimes:)

Withdraw what you inferred about me.

The original thread was headed Corbynomics - non of you seem to be discussing that. The original post thought the Daily Mail nonsense was funny - well, to be funny there has to be some truth or there's no humour. All the scenarios painted by the Daily Mail article are wholly unlikely and devoid of humour.

I agree....the problem is many of us get our politics from the media and think it's reality!

You have said you think Corbyn is a decent principled person.

Corbyn and his friends (McDonnell, Abbott) are long term supporters of the IRA.

It is possible you were mistaken about your opinion of Corbyn and now wish to withdraw your opinion that he is decent and principled.

Or it may be, you support his views or at least consider them decent and principled.

I have given you ample opportunity to clarify your position and continue to await a unambiguous reply.

You mocked me for having no clue about UK politics because I don't live in the UK and then made a fundamental error!

Anyway, what do you think about Mr Corbyn's lack of any women in his leadership team now that you've remembered that there aren't any women in his leadership team? Do you think this reflective of his misogyny or do you think that there are no women in the Labour Party that are capable of being risked in a leadership role?

I would like to say that I find it strange that a party that professes to support the advancement of women has not only failed ever to vote a women in as leader but also demonises the only woman that has been PM of the UK. Unfortunately I can't. Mr Corbyn is emblematic of the party as a whole and I am very glad that the Labour Party has managed to have one PM elected in the last 40 years.
