Jeremy Corbyn - this guy worries me

1- he thinks that it is better to seek a political solution to the ISIL threat;

2 - he is not happy giving the police the authority to shoot terrorists during an attack.

On this second point, it looks liked he's in for a major 'telling off' from the other party members.

If I recall, he also wants us to give up our nuclear deterrant.

Labour will never be in power with this bloke as their leader - he need to face facts - there are some 'bad' people out there.

 

I nearly clicked agree, because I agree 100% with most of your post. It's just the last bit about labour never getting into power under his leadership. Trouble is it seems he is worshipped like a God by many of the youth who, bless em, still believe that the world is full of lovely people and there's no such thing as a bad person, just misunderstood. It is very worrying.

 

I have supported Labour for most of my voting life . Not now though with Corbyn . I think his lefty corduroy jacket politics are a touch naive for these difficult times.
Labour really have shot themselves in the foot on this one . The tories are laughing all the way to the ballot box !

 

Trouble is he seems like a nice bloke.

Just totally unelectable.

The world is not run by nice people with ethical, moral views.

 

I saw one comment which seemed to sum Corbyn up for me. They said, "If Corbyn had been in power during the 1930s, Hitler would have started the second world war in 1935 and we would have surrendered in 1934".

 

I don't think he's insane or stupid. I think he is perfectly normal, in his own bizarre parallel universe.

A little bit of light on the Labour horizon . Lots of MPs vehemently disagree with Corbyn's let's be nice to everyone fluffy-bunny politics . If he ever came to power, the UK would be savaged politically by the fanatics and economically by the rest of the world . He is a man totally out of place , I don't think he will see 2016 out as Labour leader.

 

It's a sad state of affairs really. The electorate usually worry about whether the Labour party will be responsible with the countries finances. Now we worry also whether Labour can keep the country safe. Corbyn really needs to decide who's side he's on.

 

Well, it's not often I agree with the conservatives, but they've announced the exact opposite stance to corbyn's, in that rather than wishing to cut our defence capability, they are going to invest in more intelligence gathering people, AND, more special forces.

In today's world, in addition to keeping the nuclear deterrent, if I was in charge and had limited budget, special forces and intel would be exactly where I'd be looking to invest.

 

@clueless1 they've already cut the defence budget, made redundant front line forces, the special forces are stretched to the limit now, it takes 19 weeks for initial special forces training , then transfered off for selection which can take up to 12 months. But before that you need to serve for 36 months in the Armed Forces. Youre not going to get SAS and SBS overnight. They shouldn't have cut the defence budget.
I think Corbyn is a raving nutter he's living in a time warp of the 70s and 80s.
