    If you don't want to be called a supporter of terrorism, don't support people that support terrorism.

    Well quite.

    And I notice that Corbyn didn't even know the words to the national anthem today, though he did manage a poppy. Superficial? Just a bit.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    Do you know the words to the national anthem?

    Most people don't. Most people generally couldn't give a toss about it, which is why all of the sudden pearl-clutching about Corbyn strikes me as a bit off. If not knowing the words is somehow unpatriotic then 99.9% of the country supports Al Qaeda.

    Who, frankly, gives a toss about the IRA in 2015?

    Perhaps people who lost their loved ones, limbs, sight, etc. when doing nothing wrong other than pop down to the shops?

    Terrorism isn't some funny joke, something that happens and afterwards everyone moves on. It's never acceptable, leaves deep scars, and must always be condemned by everyone, on every occasion.

    Those who support it, or refuse to condemn it, need to explain quite why they feel that women and children out buying some new togs are legitimate targets.

  • Gadgetmind and Clapton, this is not an historical IRA thread - who's sock puppets are you? Can we get back to Corbynomics please?

    Yes, mostly. And if not I'd have a right good brush up before going on TV in front of the country at a memorial service.

    Taken on its own, it's no big thing. Taken alongside everything else, are people really going to vote for this guy? Really?

    I think not.

    Some accounts here have lots of history.

    Some are rather new, perhaps created for a specific purpose.

    Look at the post counts and number of likes to get an idea which might be which.

    (And it was "whose" when I went to school rather than "who's")

    I get the impression that Clapton is not going to apologise. This could go on a while.
    He is a bit like a stuck record on most things
