[@rbdett2645]

In 1972, as a young 18-year-old soldier, I served in both Londonderry (Derry) and Belfast, and witnessed events on all sides that will stay with me forever. I know what it’s like to be shot at (more than once) and to lose three comrades to IRA snipers. I have experienced the aftermath of sectarian killings, be it by bullet or bomb. I guess most former soldiers would have experienced some or all of these events too, however, this is where the connection between us ends. Unlike the majority of those who served in Northern Ireland, I have been openly critical of the role of the security forces and successive governments during the period of the Troubles. This has led to me too being labelled everything from IRA supporter to terrorist sympathiser. Again, the confusion seems to stem from the words “understand” and “condone.” I was critical because I witnessed how the Catholic community suffered unnecessary treatment at the hands of the security forces, some of which was not only unlawful, but also damaging to the role which I believed the British army was there to fulfil. Moreover, I would argue those actions helped to turn the Catholic community - which in the early days of the Troubles was supportive or at least indifferent to the British army - firmly against its presence in Northern Ireland. On reflection, I can see why the Catholic community felt aggrieved at being disadvantaged in what appears to be every aspect of civil rights. I can comprehend the frustration and anger as parents tried to clothe and feed their children while all the time being faced with inequality and poverty. I shudder to think what it was like in 1971, being subject to a curfew because you were a Catholic living in the Falls Road and having your possessions broken and floorboards ripped up during the search for weapons that the majority of people never had. I can understand the fear of children watching as their fathers and older brothers (it was predominately men) were stopped, searched and, on occasions, physically and/or verbally assaulted, before being taken away for “screening.” I have absolutely no idea how I would comfort my young children while soldiers with camouflaged, blacked faces carrying rifles woke them in their bed as they search the wardrobes, toy boxes and under the mattresses they sleep on. I can’t imagine how I would react if a member of my family was shot dead by the security forces who had claimed that they were armed and had fired first when I knew that it was a blatant lie - when no weapon existed and the authorities covered up the act, leaving an uphill struggle for the relatives to obtain justice for the victim. Having witnessed some of these events, can I understand why some people chose to join the IRA? Yes. Can I understand why they would want to harm the security forces? Yes. Do I condone the killing of anyone? No. And that’s the difference. Does this make me a terrorist sympathizer? Absolutely not. What my experience did was provide me with an understanding of why someone may choose to join a terrorist organization. Corbyn came to the conclusion that talking and compromise were the only solutions to the Troubles many years before the peace talks began - and history shows he was right. This was because he took the time to understand the situation, which is a far cry from condoning what was being done. Finally, Corbyn is correct in suggesting the UK’s actions abroad have done nothing to reduce the risk of terrorism and a fundamental change of policy is required. Like in the ’70s, Corbyn once again understands the situation, and this is what sets him apart from the warmongers. RICHARD RUDKIN

[@MrK-wu7ci]

Peter Oborne of Cambridge University worked for NM Rothschild, which through De Beers controlled 90% of global trade in diamonds in the 20th century. Zimbabwe could produce 20% of the world's supply of diamonds from it's Chiadzwa and Marange diamond fields. If it did so at once, it would suppress the price of diamonds for a generation to come, and severly hit the Israeli economy, for whom South African diamonds from De Beers are their biggest single export. Then, there is the fact that Zimbabwe efficiently redistributed the land that was stolen under colonialism and UDI. If you look at the fine grain of history, you will see that this land problem starts in the UK, which has and even worse ratio of land to ownership than Zimbabwe had before landreform. It was in the UK that people were first thrown off their land. (Guardian UK) Want to tackle inequality? Then first change our land ownership laws www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/04/tackle-inequality-land-ownership-laws So Peter Oborne wanted economic sanctions against Zimbabwe, and he wanted President Mbeki of South Africa to act as an extension of London. Clearly he didn't trust that landreform would fail on it's own. publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200203/cmselect/cmfaff/339/339a09.htm Memorandum from Mr Peter Oborne "If Rwanda happened again today . . . we would have a moral duty to act there"-Tony Blair, 2 October 2001. Rwanda is starting to happen again, this time in Zimbabwe. So far the British Government is doing nothing to prevent it. It is ignoring its moral duty. There are many signs of this, including: - the procrastination in imposing targeted sanctions and getting Zimbabwe thrown out of the councils of the Commonwealth; - the defeatist government briefing to political editors that the Prime Minister's "mission to Africa" should not be judged on Zimbabwe; - the failure of the Government to call a debate in Parliament as the crisis has deepened; - British readiness to undermine the integrity of the sanctions regime. A notable recent example was British connivance with the EU decision last November to move the location of the Southern African Development Community Foreign Ministers' summit from Copenhagen to Mozambique, so that Zimbabwean Ministers could attend; and, - the decision to hand control of policy to an Under-Secretary of State based in the House of Lords. There is no doubt that the makers of British foreign policy are men and women of decency and good will. And it is true that finding a solution is hard. But Mugabe is destroying Zimbabwe, and killing her people. The country is on the verge of catastrophe. Britain and the international community are washing our hands of the whole dirty business. It is true that targeted sanctions have been applied-although they have been applied too late and with too little vigour. And it is true that Zimbabwe has been suspended from the councils of the Commonwealth. But these are little more than gestures. They have eased the conscience of the West, but have done no more than irritate Mugabe. A more active and urgent approach is needed. Britain and the international community must show conviction. That would entail: 1. In November 2001, the Prime Minister stated that he would "make Africa a major personal priority and a priority for the Labour Government." His policy towards Zimbabwe should reflect that commitment. He should not pretend, as his advisers seem to, that Zimbabwe is a special case where nothing can be done. That is unacceptable. 2. Day-to-day policy for Zimbabwe should be the responsibility of a senior minister, not an inexperienced Under-Secretary of State. A special government committee should be set up to monitor the evolving crisis, ensure sanctions are enforced and hasten more serious action. The Defence, Foreign and Overseas Development Secretaries should sit on the committee and it should report to the Prime Minister. 3. Sanctions must be remorselessly pursued. They should also be extended to include two new categories. Firstly, the children of Zanu-PF ministers and allies of the regime who are being educated in private schools in the west should be sent home. Secondly, the powerful business backers of Mugabe who help keep him in power by providing foreign currency should be identified. The feeling of impunity that is prevalent among Mugabe's supporters must be undermined. 4. Fuel supplies in Zimbabwe are close to zero. There is barely any petrol in Harare. The country has little foreign currency to pay for new deliveries; recently, money intended for new supplies was instead used to pay debtors who had refused to send further supplies until arrears were paid. Every effort must be made to restrict any re-supply of oil. 5. Britain should be ready to use the International Convention Against Torture to arrest Mugabe's henchmen who travel outside the country. 6. South Africa could solve the problem. If President Mbeki understands that socio-economic collapse in Zimbabwe will destabilise South Africa, he would be more likely to cut off all support to Mugabe. The Prime Minister and other world leaders must therefore engage directly with President Mbeki. 7. In December 2002, the Prime Minister showed that he was ready to take the lead in the Middle East by calling for an international conference on Palestine. He should take a similar lead over Zimbabwe. 8. There is nothing racist about standing up for human rights and against torture, starvation and mass murder. Britain must ignore President Mugabe's anti-British rhetoric. 9. If Mugabe is determined to prevent food reaching sections of his own population, other ways must be found of feeding them. In November 2002, Mark Bellamy, a senior adviser at the US State Department, said that America was ready to take "very intrusive interventionist measures" to ensure that food aid was delivered. By speaking out, the State Department official has set an example that others should follow. 10. If, in the coming months, Mugabe continues to deliberately starve his own people, then the United Nations must give urgent consideration to intervening on the ground to prevent another African genocide. Failure to act would do irreparable damage to the UN's already battered reputation in Africa. Peter Oborne March 2003

[@robfilth]

I agree. Labours Remain seats were all in strongholds and could've absorbed the hit had the 2nd Vote Brexit Policy not come around, the largely marginal Leave seats couldn't which is why they all collapsed. Two Thirds of Labour Seats were Leave voting ones and the majority of those were marginals - the Brexit Policy was an electoral suicide note and the Blairites knew that which was why they deliberately pushed for such a policy. They were more afraid of a Corbyn led Government than one of Johnson led Tory one.

I think it caused more reactionary antisemitism in the broader community, as well as a corresponding Islamophobia. It seems to me that after the seeming success of the whipped up xenophobia with regard to Brexit, the far right decided to use the same appalling tactics to damage you and their own chosen scapegoat, Muslims. That and all the pale blues in the party contributed to your downfall. Democratic participation within a political party? Who'd a thought it?

They knew that the first referendum had been won by lying and cheating, so tried to push the idiotic notion that once a democratic decision has been taken, it can't be democratically reversed!

Yes. Jeremy was, and is, so totally right. If Labour had voted in any *other* policy on Brexit, than the one that had been cleared at Labour Party Conference (which it was, so you can't blame Corbyn), they risked losing votes, and MPs, in London and the South-East. (And in Scotland, but I suppose it was thought then that there weren't any there further to lose! 😏) But perhaps Labour should just *not* have made that pledge, about the second referendum? If they hadn't been so frank about where they stood: if they were a bit vague about the issue - as are Boris Johnson's Tories, on most issues apart from Brexit - it would have given them more room to manoeuvre, and set less people against them. 😏 But Corbyn was fighting against a large section of his own party - and I don't mean grassroots Remainers! He had to concede to the Neoliberal right the main policy it wanted - and it lost Labour the election. Also I don't think these Blairites ever want to admit, how sick voters in general were of Blairite MPs, in the "safe seats" in question. Often they were "parachuted in" from outside these communities: *and they didn't bring these deprived areas any jobs* . The irony is, that Corbyn's Labour, once in power, would have!! 😏

@@tweetsalways7068 Do you bother to read? I did say " *as a former* Labour voter." To elaborate further I've voted Labour since 83 (Foot: Leave the EEC and ban the bomb) up until Corbyn (Remain). So in one sense you are correct but in another wrong as I'm old working class Labour. Not your virtue signalling, PC, SJW, champagne Marxist Socialist. Until Labour get's it's *SHIT* together you can keep your far left protest party for all I care

@@nolelox you'll know what it says on the back of the card then? Or do you just repeat #ScumMedia nonsense?

@@darrylbradshaw216 You're another idiot that doesn't bother to read. I said I voted Labour. I didn't say I was a voting member. It's not a wonder us working class voters feel abandoned, you lot don't friggin listen. We the electorate have been asking labour to listen for years and when you get the biggest kicking since 1935 because you didn't listen, you still don't listen. Don't forget your blankie for when you meet the real world.

I hope you vote with us next time. My generation is worse off than my parent's generation and I don't plan on failing the next generation in the same way. As far as the SJW, PC virtue signalling goes I would suggest you not let that bother you as much, I just see it at as the world changing, if Corbyn hand't sparked it something else would have.

The Labour Party is out of touch with British working and middle class people and thus has lost four general elections in a row. Labour is anti-semitic, anti-American and unpatriotic and supports Hezbollah and Hamas and it probably will never again form a British government. There is also serious concern over Labour’s ability to effectively manage the government and the economy.
