Are we really going to go down the road of "DVLA is a trusted source of information"? How long have you been into biking?
Corbyn signed the GFA? You'd think there would be more of a fanfare for him. Talk about self-effacing! Remind me, how closely has Corbyn worked, with his own Party and with the government of the day, over the past forty years? This will be good.
Corbyns a well known peace keeper, look at all the work he's done for the PLO, Hammas and peace with Isreal
Don't very often do this, My wife (not my wife) worked for JC for 17 years and accompanied him over to Ireland (North & South) on many occasions. Unfortunately Anthony is in Breach of most of the facts. It actually wasn’t Blair getting into office that broke the log jam but a statement by a Tory Minister, Brooke, that said “Britain now has no selfish interests in Ireland and is willing to talk peace” that started it off. Parallel with that John Hume and Gerry Adams had both, under a lot of criticism, started talks about what a ceasefire and negotiations could look like. Silly not to recognise that it was a Tory regime that started it. When Labour got elected in 1997 the process had again stalled – and Mo Mowlam ( on behalf of the Government ) asked Jeremy to act as a “go between”, which he did on many occasions. The big sticking point was “prisoner release” and Jeremy and my wife went over there on many occasions. Jeremy persuaded Mo to go into the H-Blocks to talk directly to the prisoners reps and that eventually worked. Jeremy and his staff spent months taking up the anomalies of the “prisoner release scheme” – we’ve still got all the files from that! – without which Sinn Fein & the IRA could not have agreed any process. So Jeremy did play a key role in getting the Good Friday agreement – just ask Gerry Adams or Martin McGuinness( deceased) if you don’t believe me. Mr Breach is living in a fantasy world and should read up a bit before dashing off ignorant articles.
The Valerie Veness comments often get bandied about by Jeremy's supporters but not so much http://labour-uncut.co.uk/2015/08/0...r-peace-in-northern-ireland-is-total-fantasy/
I feel it shows that the light often claimed by corbyn supporters was that he was somehow that close to the ira that he could be key to the peace agreement is nonsense. Let me put this forward. IF he was that close to the IRA, do you think he knew about the brighton bombing where they tried to take out the British government and prime minister If he was that close, when it happened, would he have asked the IRA what on earth was going on Given the group he was so close to, had just tried to kill the British Government and it's prime minister, what drove him to think having two convicted IRA terrorists having a tour of the commons, 14 days after the bombing? His alingment with the PLO, Hammas, was reluctant to accept either iran or russia had done things in recent years But let's gloss all over that and imagine this, say he gets to be pm, how much security and intelligence do you honestly think would be shared with him by our security and intelligence service partners world wide?
brexit, what happens now? well, the Scot Gov have set up a citizens assembly to try find consensus and a way forward after brexit. it is to be chaired by the labour MEP that lost his seat at the last election. the torys and liberals are calling for scots to boycott it. and big terisa is on her way up to anounce that there will be a revuew of devolution. the tory and ununist party dont get it do they? they dont quite get that getting people telt, is not quite the same as getting people on boared
Thanks for that, portboy. That was actually a bit of Corbynista fantasising that I have never seen! Hmmm. The idea of going to Gerry Adams for confirmation of a truth is another thing that has never occurred to me. Every day is a school day.
