WhiskeyWhiskers posted:A while back so sorry if this has been addressed, but ISIS is absolutely hosed. They're in their death throes now. There's absolutely no need to reason with them, because they're a spent force. Turns out arming secular socialists and protecting them against our own allies in the region was the answer to defeating ISIS. Thing is, an effective anti-ISIS policy is exactly the kind of thing that is going to lead to an increased risk of terrorism. If you really want to cut down on domestic terrrorism, round up the likely suspects, give them guns, and point them at some foreigner you don't mind dying'. That's what the Saudis and Pakistanis have been doing since the 70s,, and what the UK was doing back in the 80s with Gadaffi. Long term consequences may not be great, but in the short and probably medium term It works a charm.

Isn't survey monkey just an online polling site? Is that poll even by something that's part of the polling society?

^^^ that's the 'foreign policy has no broad consequences' guyMikeCrotch posted:Someone on my Facebook just accused Corbyn of lazy politics because there had been no intervention in the middle east by the west before 9/11 The number of people saying this with a straight face is amazing. Probably the most direct example of people the west trained and supported coming back to gently caress them later Also an insult to are lads in the gulf war surely

Priti Patel has responded to Corbyn's interview.Priti Patel posted:The fact is he backed the IRA, doesn’t support NATO, wouldn’t renew Trident, wants to increase immigration and wants to massively increase taxes on working families. I guess if you can't think of any legit criticism just straight up contradict everything he said in the interview.

I wonder how many idiots on the right have tried looking for any evidence of Corbyn supporting the Iraq War only to realize he's actually stuck by his principles his whole life lol.

Is it a good idea for Corbyn to say he never met with the IRA when he himself has talked about his own meeting with two convicted IRA terrorists? Opens himself up to accusations of lying.

Yes they are on online survey site, not a polling site, they apply little if any modification to the data they get from the users. Ignore it, its little more than a forum poll. Although think they were bizarrely the most accurate in 2010, buts that's probably stuck clocks etc.

Opens himself up to accusations of lying. He said he didn't meet IRA - he met Sinn Féin. quote:As Sinn Féin's representative in London, he was at the centre of a controversy in December 1984 when he was a guest to the House of Commons of Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn, along with another PIRA volunteer and former prisoner, Linda Quigley. A decade later, he was in the first delegation to meet with the British Labour Party front bench in December 1994

That has decision reversed on the second appeal written all over it. The problem is the number of people who keep appealing is becoming less and less.

I imagine there's people living a daily nightmare of pain, on benefits, and without anyone to help them, and I think these people would find it very hard to go to court and follow up and pay a lawyer and all the stuff you'd need to do to appeal something like this. It's exploiting the weaknesses of the least fortunate in the worst of ways.

It's exploiting the weaknesses of the least fortunate in the worst of ways. That's exactly what happens. I should point out that while your first appeal occurs in relatively short order the backlog for the more detailed second appeal is anything from 6 months to 2 years depending on what region of the country you're in at the time. The other aspect to consider is that people are literally dying during the time it takes for their appeal to go through. Edit: Also the statistics for people having decisions reversed on the first appeal are shockingly bad. Skinty McEdger fucked around with this message at 23:27 on May 26, 2017 |
