    In your eagerness to prove a point you've failed completely to understand that I never once said that JC was instrumental to anything, I am well aware of John Major and Tony Blairs involvement. However that doesn't instantly mean that because JC wasn't able to achieve it, that he must therefore support the IRA.

    I guess you think that insulting JC would upset me, I'm not a Labour supporter. I was a conservative voter, until the loons took over.

    You suggested that the Conservatives view on NI was somehow a complete juxtaposition to JC's way of peace, I merely reminded you that a Tory PM was responsible for kick-starting the peace process.
    Its OK not to remember stuff Phirrip. :)

    The only stipulation I have is that I never pay for the news (other than TV subscriptions and licenses) as I refuse to directly finance news organisations as they are all have shown to have bias and I regard them all with contempt.
    I applauded that statement then saw nine minutes later you were quoting from the Barclay brothers organ, the Telegraph.

    I make sure I read/view news from both sides, I can recognise I still have a biased view but seeing both sides of the argument is useful and I often learn something in the process.

    The only stipulation I have is that I never pay for the news (other than TV subscriptions and licenses) as I refuse to directly finance news organisations as they are all have shown to have bias and I regard them all with contempt.
    Isn't the BBC a news organisation? This morning I heard a BBC announcer say the phrase 'Boris Johnson's illegal prorogation of Parliament'. Forgetting like all Remainers that it had not been deemed illegal at the time of the deed.
    Do you pan the BBC a license fee?

    The BBC is incredibly biased but it's a good source to see the other side. I don't like the idea that my TV license goes towards the tripe they spout but my wife enjoys to watch TV and I wouldn't deprive her of her simple pleasures.

    A year old article by a brexiteer trying to justify brexit on a brexiteer website. Defo a must read.

    Isn't the content true, as shown in other publications? So try playing the ball and not the man please or can't you do that because you know the ball was true?

    Corbyn's own party struggles with his past, it's only the influx of leftist radicals that made and kept him as leader. It's very unusual for a party leader to keep his job after a vote of no confidence with the vast majority of his peers voting him out.

    Corbyn does seem to have a fixation with terrorists. I can’t help thinking that he gets a vicarious thrill from associating with them.
