Corbyn refers to ISIS' "strong points" and alludes to giving up Falklands

It is pretty bizarre to claim that everyone's condemnation of torture, beheading, crucifixion, the taking and trading of women as sex slaves, and the blowing up of the marvels of classical civilisation (including just recently a monastery which has been standing fourteen hundred years) is "virtue signalling???"

And what exactly is Corbyn right about vis a vis IS? He says we should talk to them. About what?

JC: "How are you Jihadi Sid?"

JS: "A bit tired Jeremy, mate. Lopping off heads with a small knife is hard work, but someone's got to do it and it might as well be me. There are compensations though. I bought a lovely Yazidi girl at the slave market today and can't wait to rape her. Enough of me, though, how can I help?

JC: "I was wondering if you might like to discuss what it would take to end this war, so we could all live in peace?"

JS: No worries, we can achieve that. The whole world has to submit to Allah, every woman in the UK has to wear a Burka, we need Sharia Law 4 the UK, all Kaffirs have to pay the Jizya, and the black flag of ISIS must fly over Number 10 Downing Street. Happy with that?"

It was a vaguely satirical comment about how ridiculous society has become when i need to disclaim i dont agree with ISIS simply by virtue of saying something positive about them. Even assuming i was deriding it, it still is virtue signalling - it is by definition the signalling of someones virtues so your entire point is ridiculous as any statement of personal morality or inclination is virtue signalling, representing yourself what you believe positively by right of opinion. I suppose generally it is taken to mean a falsity of opinion however i wasnt applying it in that context but rather a satirical one.

evidently by virtue of the thread title he didnt merely say 'lets have a chat' which is obviously true as no discussion about ISIS is that casual. Instead of arguing anything I've actually said you've gone off on a rant for no reason and quoted me in it, of course allowing IS to dominate the UK is against UK values as is self evident by the fact its a war of ideology.

Every time Corbyn opens his mouth in public he may as well punch all Labour voters in the stomach. Way to undo all the hard work we've put in over the years to build credibility dickhead.

Well played Sir !

in top 10 ever posts on TSR.

Thank you, most kind.

Sometimes I wonder if it is worth calling out the bonkers left. There is only so many times you can point out that the Corbynistas and their ilk are perpetuating a lunatic infatuation with militant Islam. Licking the @rses of the most evil people of our time, it gets tiresome. They are SO stupid.

But comments like yours make it all worthwhile.

The right are just scared of his decency and honesty and will do anything to vilify him.

wealthy Islingtonites like JC are just playing at being socialists.

The right are just scared of his decency and honesty and will do anything to vilify him.

Yes, the right will continue to mercilessly vilify him, that is politics, but you are mistaken if you think they are scared of him.

On the contrary they hope he stays Labour Leader for as long as possible.

I agree with you there on reflection. I guess their vilification is a tool to ensure Tory domination forever as opposed to being worried about him contending them.

I honestly don't get people. They complain that politicians don't stand up for anything, and then when they do, complain about that instead.

He's a decent man who says what he thinks, which is why the vast majority of the labour electorate voted for him. Tough **** if you don't like it, it's what your fellow party members voted for.

On the last point, Labour as a party had no credibility in the minds of the public anyway. What hard work have you done to build up credibility?

Yes.

I laughed when I read that a working class Labour MP is putting a "mansion tax" proposal to the next Labour Conference. Anyone who lives in a house worth more than a million would have to pay £1,000 membership fee for the Party.

Talk about taking the pis@.

Oh you know, only canvassed thousands of people in 3 target seats, two of which we won, took a week off work before the election to talk to people non stop on the doorstep, spent hundreds of weekends doing leaflet rounds in my constituency, campaigned to save Lewisham hospital alongside my MP and had a consultation with Sadiq Kahn about green issues. Yeah, only that...

So -your turn? (Joining the party for 3 quid and voting for Jezza doesn't count by the way)

Well, that's why I asked. All credit to you.

I'm not a member of any party and I can't vote (not a UK citizen). So the most I can be is an interested spectator.

Ah so you know nothing about the current dynamics of labour party membership.

Essentially a large proportion of those that regularly put work in and put in a lot of time and effort around the last election are being replaced by newcomers who don't lift a finger to support their hero jezza.

I see. What would be your solution for dealing with something like this?
