I wish I could live in a world where we would consider the use of weapons that would lead to mass extinction of life as being sometng that the bad guys propose, rather than being a sensible policy.

So was it just a poo poo audience that kept hammering on about the same things or was Corbyn answering badly? Or both?

If they press him he loving lies and says he'd press it. How many vulnerable people are going to die from 5 more years of austerity because that prick was too proud to tell a fib.

What is going on in your head that makes you think that stupid lie answers work for someone who has built their entire platform on not giving stupid lie answers? What dimension do you come from where Labour isn't subjected to a higher level of scrutiny than the loving tories?

Pissflaps posted:Tough night for Corbyn but if you think the Corbyn Surge doesn't need swing voters and instead can rely on an energised youth vote and high turnout from traditional non voters then you shouldn't be too worried. I'm really upset that labour aren't courting the numerable nuclear weapons block.

He got asked about nukes twice from an audience member, then Dimbleby pressed him on it about three times, then a totally different audience member asked the same question again. It dominated quite a lot of the debate. He didn't have a good answer though, and that's pretty poor considering how likely it was to come up. He should have just said that discussing the circumstances in which the deterrent would be used weakens the deterrent, and just kept repeating that.

The correct and credible answer to the use of the UKs nuclear arsenal is "I will not use nuclear weapons because there is no credible circumstance under which that would benefit the UK or anybody else on the planet."

It just seems to be that the US and UK populations are in an active competition to see who can be the most vile. Edit: don't switch to BBC News, it's got BOJO talking about the threat posed by Corbin and his 'crypto communist cabal'.

Who gives a poo poo? Once again: it's the prime minister's preparedness to retaliate that makes the conflict itself less likely to happen. Hence why it's a nuclear deterrent. It baffles me how some struggle with this.

It dominated quite a lot of the debate. I really don't understand why he didn't have a prepared answer for this. And anything involving the IRA. Like I get why Theresa May can't answer anything, she's an idiot. She apparently understands nothing that isn't a soundbite. But Corbyn has shown he can be amazingly astute. Why wasn't he prepared?

It's quite common when thinking about Ireland and the peace process, for people to remark that you don't make peace with your friends, you make peace with your enemies (I think it was a line in Game of Thrones, no wonder it gets quoted often). But really, as that audience showed, that's not what people want, it's weak to make peace with your enemies. No, the correct course of action is to bomb them into submission and make them surrender.

Went to the Hammersmith/Fulham deaf and disabled hustings tonight. UKIP guy used the term 'mongoloid' in his opening remarks, got the constituency name wrong and said that people who can't spell end up resorting to a life of crime. Tory guy was smarmy and awful, didn't know about his own party's planned cuts to disability benefit, kept talking about the number of disabled people in work being increased and left early (as did his UKIP chum). Green guy just read from the manifesto (aside from briefly mentioning he'd had mental health issues and also he worked at the local hospital). Lib dem woman was alright and very enthusiastic but also trying to bang the "ACTUALLY we restrained the Tories" drum which got her leapt on Labour guy is shadow justice secretary and incumbent, he was late but he actually made reference to local issues, seemed the most polished and didn't use archaic offensive racist terms for disabled people. Owlkill fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Jun 2, 2017 |

The idea that Corbyn's meetings with the IRA were part of the peace process rather than a measure of his support for their aims is not credible. People don't believe his reasons for meeting them.
