Look, you were right; it is a waste of time. I won’t make the same mistake again. 

Do you, on the face of it, think, in your opinion, that his motives were innocent?

"Alright mate. Those weekends don't half go quick and you're back in work before you know it! Did you do anything nice over the weekend?" 

 

"Yeah. I chatted utter bubbles on the internet about Jeremy Corbyn." 

 

"Erm...Okay...best get some work done anyway. Catch you later mate."

Hes been accused of lying about when he stopped working for PressTV. Apparently he said he stopped after the greens were mistreated after the 2009 Iranian election, protesters were shot 2009/2010, yet he continued each year until 2012. The year PressTV was banned in the UK.

And what he said is freely available.  He’s openly supportive of them.  

Corbyn is openly supportive of a regime he has repeatedly criticised in Parliament?

 

Strange days, indeed.

I honestly don’t know. I count him as an old lefty who thinks he is doing well but isn’t particularly great at doing anything. I think he’s really bad at being a leader but so I think he’s in league with Iran? For a few grand? No. That’s crazy talk. Useless, not nefarious.

Fair enough, I lean towards him being naive

He could shoot someone on Kensington High Street and still not get criticised on here.   There’s literally no criticism allowed, he’s ALWAYS on the right side of history.  Always.  

Grow up, you clueless bellend.

 

Or keep voting Tory and whining "it's a cult". Either's good.

It’s almost like there’s a disconnect between saying things, and doing things.  

 

He he said they were baddies, then took their money and said they were goodies.  Which is more representative?  Mmm. 

When did he say they were goodies?

Without thumbing through 700 plus pages I assume your answer to the OP is no?

 

If so - who then?

I’m sure it’s earth shattering, which is why you’ve not bothered sharing it. 

My thoughts entirely.  I've been caught out like this before on here: someone makes a claim and says that their source is freely available; I waste time finding the source and reading/watching it, just to find out it says nothing of the shit that was claimed. (I can't recall the exact subject and I can't recall which poster sent me on a wild goose chase - I could narrow it down to a list of the usual suspects, though.) Now I just think that if a claim smells like bullshit, I'll trust my nose unless someone provides evidence of the claim.

Yeah I stopped trying to verify claims after someone here claimed Chomsky was an anti-semite or something similar. I then thought “what’s the point?”.

Rico, when you provide your evidence of Corbyn on Press TV saying what a great bunch of lads the Iranian government are, you might want to take a minute to update his Wikipedia page, because it says that no recordings exist of his appearances.

Not exactly the hymn to the glory of the Islamic Republic that Rico was hinting at; utterly beige and dull, in fact.

If anything, Iran have got fleeced.

I think the problem is that he was paid to go on Iranian TV in the first place and quite obviously didnt make any criticism of their human rights record and was prepared to criticise/question US actions.  It was a bit of coup for them having a British MP prepared to appear friendly to their regime.

 

He must now regret having done it and apparently lied about when/why he stopped doing it.

Considering he's apparently a rabid antisemite, Corbyn was fairly calm and muted in that clip in his response to even more acts of Israeli murder.
