A fucking car with a team of servents and security guards as he slams the doors in journalists faces out of anger. He may have been a well-intentioned man once, but that was decades ago. Power corrupts, it ALWAYS corrupts and he's been in the game too long to not be affected by it.

[@godfearingbeliever]

Isaac McAuley I thought a person who uses violence and intimidation against innocent civilians, in the pursuit of political aims was a terrorist? Or is that only the case when it's Islam?

[@sudocreme5080]

Sheikhspeare no. I would define terrorism as DELIBERATELY killing civilians. The IRA never killed innocent civilians on purpose. The main argument against that is bombings. But the IRA always gave telephone warnings if there was a chance that civilians could be killed. Why? Because civilians weren't the target, the commercial premises they were on was. So they had to time it so that there was enough time for civilians to evacuate, but not long enough for the British Army to disable the bomb. Any time a bomb blew up, killing civilians was either because the British Security Forces didn't react quickly enough, (and thus not carry out their duty to protect civilians) or because the telephone the IRA planned to use was broken/ vandalised. If you an tell me an Islamic paramilitary that didn't deliberately kill civilians then I will gladly say they aren't terrorists.

[@sudocreme5080]

This Brexit mess should have been sorted in 2017, one year later than the result of the referendum was known. As far as the big picture is concerned, there would be nothing to stop the UK from rejoining the EU in the future, if for some reason we felt the need, although I don't think it will be necessary.

He got snuffed out by the establishment, full stop, primarily by members of his own party. Imagine if ALL the party would have been on board and fully supportive of the 2017 campaign. The level of sabotage was only equalled by the sluggishness of those who were supposed to be investigating antisemitism in the party, under Iain McNicol (a fervent opponent of Corbyn), as revealed in the leaked Forde Report which Keir Starmer didn't want to release: "The report, which drew on thousands of emails and WhatsApp communications, accused the Labour Party’s former general secretary Iain McNicol, and other senior figures of providing "false and misleading information" to Corbyn's office in relation to the handling of antisemitism complaints, which meant "the scale of the problem was not appreciated" by the leadership." The close call of the 2017 campaign had his enemies within the party throwing everything and the kitchen sink at him, before the antisemitism smear campaign got under way, and pretty much the whole political establishment, backed by the media, went for him, no matter what. Wealth redistribution? Renationalisation? Palestinian rights? That's like signing your own death sentence, while so many of the more modest earners of the country were lapping up what the media was serving up, in a climate of toxic patriotism and reverence for social class order, mixed up with the kind of naïve cannon-fodder mentality of those poor men who marched off to Flanders in 1914. My main problem with Corbyn is that he is pretty much too honest and trusting, which makes him an unconvincing liar when he has to play tactical politics. He would have needed a ruthless Foreign Secretary in order to see through any foreign leaders' lies. On the economy though, he had quite a few economists (such as Marianna Mazzaucato) advising him on courageous forward-looking policies that should have been given a chance; given what we have eneded up with retrospectively.

Nelson Mandela achieved a lot of good in his life and should ultimately be remembered as a force for positive change. But he did blow up factories. He used the fear or "terror" of destruction to get his message across. It may well be that in the time and place that was the only means of achieving what he did, but he can absolutely be defined as a terrorist. History is a grey area, never black and white.

This: In 1990, when Nelson Mandela declined to meet the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on a trip to London, Dicks asked: "How much longer will the Prime Minister allow herself to be kicked in the face by this black terrorist?" And this: Dicks left a legacy as a critic of high-profile HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns at the time of the emergence of the disease in the 1980s. Frequent controversial jokes furthering these opinions and others - such as suggesting "tell 'em that if you shove your willy up someone's bum you're going to catch more than a cold" as a central message of the government's HIV/AIDS campaign (instead of encouraging gay men to use condoms) Finally this: Famous for his descriptions of immigrants to Britain as "the flotsam and jetsam from all over the world" and ridiculing a Somali refugee family buying water in a west London supermarket, saying "where they come from they're happy to drink out of puddles" Nasty piece of work, this is from his Wikipedia page.

So? What does it matter if 40 years ago it was higher than it was today? Especially when, as far as I am aware, Labour wishes to raise the top bracket from 45% to 50%. And then, it is a 50% tax rate for every pound earned above £150,000, not a flat rate of 50% for every pound if you earn more than £150,000, which is a perfectly fair tax in itself.
