And you are telling me there are no double standards in the Remain camp? Let's pick someone at random - Jeremy Corbyn. Did he even vote o stay in the EU? Nicola Sturgeon - seeking referendum after referendum until she gets what she wants. Also, the left is quite content to operate with double standards. The anti semitism row in Labour, Keith Vaz, Corbyn's declaration that MP's need to be loyal to their leader when there are a number of recorded incidents when Corbyn, as an MP, plotted against the leader of the party at the time. If you are calling out on hypocrisy, it's everywhere and not isolated to one party or ideology.

Depends on your definition of integrity? Are we talking Jeremy Corbyn type integrity? Terrorist mouthpiece? taking money from the Iranian government? Is that the definition of integrity.

Is he a terrorist mouthpiece or are you not adding 2+2 together to make 5? You do know that The U.K now has an Iranian ambassador and vice versa. No integrity there?

Edited by nickgusset (10 Sep 2016 8.11pm) Do I really need to copy and paste the multitude of readily available quotes that both he and for that matter John McDonnell have made? Corbyn claimed that he went on state run Iranian tv to raise human rights and lgbt issues. There's no record that this ever happened. He Iirc also went on tv at the same time the government were torturing a journalist from that station. The station that ofcom banned He has also said that the £20k he got paid was for his constituency office. As far as I am aware in spite of saying he will, he is yet to prove that this was the case.

You must be a teenager because you have a serious lack of knowledge about people or you just see what you want to see. Whatever side of the political world you look at....It has plenty of arseholes.

"The wider question is Hamas and Hezbollah are part of a wider peace process. Even the former head of Mossad says that there has to be talks involving Hamas. "I've also had discussions with people from the right in Israeli politics who have the same view possibly that the state of Israel should extend from the river to the sea, as it is claimed people from the Palestinian side do.

Edited by nickgusset (10 Sep 2016 10.51pm) I will respond to your post tomorrow but as far as the ambassador comment goes he was appointed this year. Situations change or did you miss the thawing of relations last year?

I have struggled to find any record of Corbyn meeting Israeli government or even Jewish Israelis. If you can point me to any links I will give them a read. For someone who claims that his relationship with Hamas and Hezbollah are to promote peace, I find it unusual that meetings with the "other side " are so hard to find. Corbyn declined the opportunity to today visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum after being invited by Isaac Herzog. This invite was sent months ago so he could have adjusted his diary if necessary. I did come across this, Corbyn's invite to Hate Preacher Raed Salah for tea on the terrace. Particularly galling is the language Corbyn uses to describe him

Also more proof that Corbyn is incapable of being taken seriously on the world stage. There's always a "but" with Corbyn
