A lot of Tory supporters paid £3 to join the Labour party to vote for Corbyn as leader. Why do you think they did that? Corbyn hardly has a lot of support amongst his own MPs.... The tories have been in power for 7 years. Why have they not sold the NHS off in this time? Is it because they don't want to?

However the jihadis themselves think they are acting under religious instruction? If it's not religion making Muslims go on killing sprees what is it? Hindus from India arrived in Britain at the same as the Muslims. Yet Hindus do not commit terrorist attacks?
-
Amen to that! Imagine you moved to Saudi. Would you suddenly believe women shouldn't drive? Would you suddenly believe homosexuality was wrong? Would you suddenly believe stoning people to death was right? I don't think someone's core beliefs can be easily changed. We think giving migrants a Western passport magically gives them a Western belief system - it clearly doesn't. The best we can hope for is they stick to their part of the world and we stick to ours.

IMHO, extremist Islam is the biggest threat facing the West today. It's an even bigger threat than global warming. Yet we have politicians that seem to ignore the problem and tell us "love is stronger than hate". If we want Western civilisation to continue we will have to admit there is a problem and act accordingly. It's time to start deporting people with a belief system that is fundamentally opposed to Western beliefs.

Three terrorist attacks in the last three months. Another 5 thwarted by the security services in the same time period. We've got to accept we are at war. It's time we started interning all the extremists and stopped listening to the do gooders.

Lol, are you mutley9050?

You posted this in post 2127: "Army didn't defend anybody against terrorism to my knowledge." I've got a family member that's an armed policeman. He tells me the odd tale.... However I can't discuss those things on a public forum... I'm not going to sit back when you talk BS about the Army when soldiers will be risking their life's at this very moment in London.
-
You don't know what the army does. You were saying it does nothing to protect us from terrorism. Maybe you should put that spade down?
-
If you don't want people to call you "naive" stop being naive.....
-
You are naive. You wanted me to post information on the Army's involvement in counter terrorism... You really think I should do that on a public forum?
-
Are you stupid? Maybe you could stop criticising the Army when they will be on the streets of London at this very minute dealing with three terrorist incidents?
-
The army have a lot duties that aren't known to the general public....

Van drives into pedestrians on London Bridge. Three occupants of van get out and start stabbing people.

We opened our doors to hundreds of million of people that think £5 an hour is top notch money. Thank Tony Blair.

Socialist ideas always sound nice in theory but don't really work in practice. A nationalised rail industry sounds nice, however it means that international businesses are hesitant about building factories in the UK. A £10 minimum wage sounds nice, however it means employers get rid of employees. Making the rich pay more tax sounds nice, however it means the rich move to other countries. Having a generous welfare state sounds nice, however it means the lazy live from the work of others.

About 50% of adults pay no income tax... The richest 1% pay a quarter of income tax.....
-
The Government already spends £46 billion a year on interest on UK debt. Do you think it sensible for Labour to increase this amount further?
-
No one is saying Theresa May is brilliant. However I think she's the best potential leader that we have to run the country. The next 5 years are going to be tough in the UK. We're going to have more terrorist attacks and we're going to have to negotiate with the EU. I just don't think Corbyn is up the task of leading the country.... Let's be honest, Corbyn doesn't even have the respect of most Labour MPs. How many leadership rebellions has he had now? Yet somehow people think he's the messiah and is capable of uniting the country?
-
IMHO, Corbyn would make Tony Blair look a good Prime Minister. Corbyn would also make Gordon Brown look a financially prudent Prime Minister.
-
Did you really consider that a "debate"? It was basically 5 politicians ganging up on the Tories and UKIP and a typical BBC biased audience.
-
Jeremy Corbyn sat two A level exams.... He got two E's.... He's not smart enough to be PM....
-
Do you not get it? Virtually every single "issue" of concern to the electorate is effected by migration. The problems on the NHS/ schools/ welfare are all made worse by allowing mass immigration into the UK. Terrorism is made worse by immigration as well. We all see public services being cut for Brits due to lack of money. Then somehow we've got free money to look after migrants... Reduce immigration and the quality of life goes up in the UK....
-
It's the contradictions though. For instance the Green Party want to protect the environment and also have an open door policy. You can have one of those or the other - are the Greens really happy about building houses on green belt to house migrants? Then they want to protect the NHS as well as allowing millions of EU migrants access to it.
-
Anyone watching the debate? The quality of political leaders seems low...
-
Healthcare in some of Eastern Europe is actually fairly good... Is it really such a bad idea for the NHS to send patients there for cheaper operations? Regarding immigration. I've seen how immigration reduces wages for British workers...
