Food banks? Like it KSC ha! ha!,but I was thinking more on the lines of prosperity, hopefully.

I actually knew our new MP Imran Khan as a kid and his family were well known in the area with his dad being a Doctor. He's not been a life long Politician and has gone on to do really well with his life and actually done some impressive things as a terrorism expert working for the UN. I personally hope he can do well.

You mean to say he is a terrorist sympathiser.

You what, no, I said exactly what I meant. What an idiotic comment even for you.

are you getting confused with the Marxist Bros John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn.who appear to have sympathies in the area of terrorists rather than having experise in the area of Counter Terrirism as Mr Khan does.

No I was applying for a job at the Sun. I was being sarcastic based on the amount of vitriol Corbyn received.

You do realise, the decline in the Wakefield area, has been down to the austerity measures of the conservative government? The cutbacks to our local council have been caused by the tories. Ironically, the only improvements to the north have been funded by the EU.

The money received by the council in Wakefield from central government has reduced by 54% since 2010. I think this may limit what they can do and I doubt there will be little change even with the new MP who will not want to rock the boat with his party being such a new boy with little experience.
I wouldn’t bank on anything changing for the better over the next five years.

You do realise the decline in the Wakefield area began with the creation of the MDC back in the 70's and has been unrelenting regardless of who has been in charge at Westminster.

Well the sarcasm didn't land at all, probably because you were really reaching, usually an emoticon works wonders.

Not that I want to go over such boring old ground, but you have brought it up so all I'll say is - Ateotd Corbyn has been unbelievably wishy-washy about those years and it leads people to fill in the gaps, no matter what paper they read or any of that crap. When he won't even condemn the IRA on so many TV interviews etc and he stood for a minutes silence for eight IRA members killed by the SAS in Gibraltar and then when he unexpectedly rose to be leader of Labour, all he's said is a back tracking line of it was "for all who'd died" in Northern Ireland.

I don't think Jeremy Corbyn was showing sympathy for the terrorist actions of the IRA, no leader would empathise with that. It's more the sympathising with, and supporting, the CAUSE that they were fighting for, ie a United Ireland, and what is wrong with that? It's a legitimate cause. The United Kingdom isn't exactly snow-white when it comes to questionable military action is it?

I worked with the UN partly on Terrorism but more on Community Policing does that imply I am a terrorist sympathiser then?

I was being ironic because if he had been a Labour MP how do you think the right wing press would deal with it. I note that the same papers make no reference to the influx of Britain first members joining the Conservative party because they like the way Johnson had spoken about minorities in the past.
So no I don’t think our current MP or you are terrorist sympathisers I was pointing out the hypocrisy of the press. To be able to end the troubles in Northern Ireland required the UK government to negotiate with terrorist organisations on both sides but produce peace. The problem with Corbyn is that he is actually a man of principal who abhors violence.

Corbyn has done quite a bit to support the IRA, have a read up on George McLaughlin, supplier of radio controls to remotely detonate bombs and his partner and how they jumped to the top of Islington's housing list despite living in Wales, no dependent kids but they did have neighbours who had found out their 'background' so along comes Jezza

From which source did you do this reading up?

It's in the Sun. It must be true.

Daily Mail about two weeks ago along with quite a few other interesting facts the article ran over several pages, google it and have a read

The Mail who stated that the father of Ed Milliband was a traitor based on a speech he made. This was just prior to that election, as per usual it was not true but why let the facts get in the way of their agenda.

Ahhh, [ithat[/i source.

I'm sure if it's all a lie Jezza and his mate McLaughlin and his partner will be suing the Mail for libel, the bit about the remote controlled devices he was guilty of his mitigation he thought they were for some other noble use and not for use in bomb making (yeah right) the move from Wales to Islington is a proven fact and anuone that doesn't believe that the housing waiting list was huge is deluded. REad teh article check teh facts. As for Milliband, who struggled to eat a bacon sarnie the comment about Daddy was that a comment/opinion and not a fact.

Let Jezza and his IRA mate sue them then

It was actually a two page spread. What does eating a bacon sandwich mean with regards running the country. Johnson ran into a fridge to avoid scrutiny.
You believe in Johnson I don’t time will tell who is right.

I definitely have no time for Jezza and his convicted queue jumping IRA buddy as for the bacon sarnie reference there's at least one for every politiciian irrespective of their party Boris and his fridge stunt one of many.

Johnson as taken 3 things out of the Brexit deal, that was agreed , so he could have a General Election,good job he tells the truth .Been said to day he will be coming out in December next year with a no deal ,putting loads of jobs at risk

You should go to Daily Maili Online and read the article in full and then back up your 'it was not true' claim with your evidence that it's not true. Maybe even the photographs of Jezza and his IRA buddy were photoshopped!!
