twit of the Week

Quoted from barralad

It's getting tiresome but Corbyn fully supported the decision taken to neutralise the terrorists on Saturday night...

Yup, after the event.
I'd like to know what he would have advised if it was ongoing and he had any say on the matter.

Go on then: what's a good deal?

You tell me ?

He has regularly said he wouldn't support a shoot to kill policy.

Surely you aren't stupid enough to accept after all these years he has changed his mind and if he did support what happened it is purely because we are a couple of days before the election.

Quoted from barralad

Surely nobody believes that either May or Corbyn are going to be directly involved in negotiations? Labour have barristers with over 20 years experience in Starmer and Thornberry. The Tories have Boris and David Davies...

Thornberry? you're having a laugh. Over the past few weeks she has shown she hasn't got a clue just like that other dumbo, Abbot.

Well she's a qualified barrister who would be going into the most complex legal negotiations ever undertaken by any British government. On the other hand the Tories have Boris who before the Referendum wrote two letters one in favour of Leave and one for Remain and who despite having a considerable intellect (double first at Oxford) chooses to hurl childish insults at the people who will be round the table with him.

I don't think some people realise what a shoot to kill policy actually is. We don't have a shoot to kill policy now yet the police took down these terrorists in minutes at the weekend.

NOT HAVING AN OFFICIAL SHOOT TO KILL POLICY DOES NOT MEAN THAT POLICE AREN'T ALLOWED TO KILL TERRORISTS WHEN IT IS DECIDED THAT IS NECESSARY!

Thought I'd better 'shout' there to make the point.

The whole 'shoot to kill' claptrap controversy in this election is a nothing, made up story. The police are legally bound to use the minimum of force to carry out their duties. This is a good thing. Obviously, in a terrorist attack, the police may use lethal force if deemed necessary as they did at the weekend.

The police simply do not have a shoot to kill policy. In the US where the cops kill thousands each year they also don't have a shoot to kill policy.

Oh dear you surely aren't stupid enough to think that u-turns are only the province of the leader of the opposition? Judging by her non-performance in this campaign May will be struggling to find her way to the Polling Station. Theresa May has had a long history of supporting the European Human Rights legislation. Yesterday she signalled a change in that view due to the changing world circumstances. If that is credible why would Corbyn's change of heart over a shoot to kill policy be any less so?

In my view Barra nothing seems to be suggested by any party to actually solve ANYTHING. All they seem to do is find fault with other parties.Not everything is wrong that is suggested by different parties. All the parties are the same in refusing to accept suggestions by others. Surely some should bite the bullet and agree on common ground

I'd support a cross party approach to Brexit negotiations but our electoral system doesn't really create the environment for it.
