Maybe Corbyn's hoping we can strike up a trade deal with Hezbollah to keep us afloat. 

Yes. That's probably it. Must be. Occam's Razor and all that.

I don't see what attacking our biggest ally offers us when we are on the cusp of a no deal Brexit and need to secure trade arrangements with countries outside the EU. 

We need to secure trade deals with the EU, more than anything.  The EU will still be, by far, our biggest trading partner, regardless of what terms we leave on.

 

The USA (especially under the Trump Administration) isn't looking for a partner in the UK: they're looking for a vassal state. It's baffling that there's an overlap between people who support Brexit on the grounds of sovereignty and people who support close ties with Trump.

I don't agree with senior figures in government attacking our allies in the manner they have, or facilitating the public mockery of their leaders. 

Who in Government has done that?

He sorted it out by authorising it. Self explanatory. His refusal would've stopped it from happening. Hence he had an active role.

If you witnessed a granny getting mugged and you didn't intervene to stop it, do you agree that you should be charged as the criminal mastermind who "sorted out" the mugging?

How about depicting the leader of our biggest ally as a petulant baby in a diaper during a state visit. Is that not reason enough?

Not in a free country. No. 

 

You've had a 'mare there, mate. 

[Section_31]

Baffled with the argument about how we should be placating him because there's trade deals to be struck and all that. This is Donald Trump, he can do 360 degree turnarounds in the space of one Tweet. 

 

It's also mad to think any trade deal, under any circumstances, would be anything other than weighted completely in his and their favour. The guy has spent his career not paying suppliers and laughing about it down the phone.

@Boss so was he an imbecile in your eyes, because he didn’t use his power to intervene and stop the protest from happening? I’ve given you an out here.

[Gnasher]

The Queen and the rest of the royals seem happy. The only royal with any sort of opinion on anything is the American girl  This trip says more about us than it says about him.

[Rico1304]

Watching his press conference live. He’s saying he’s seen the streets lined with thousands of people waving flags and only one small protest. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Corbyn didn't refuse to see Trump. Trump said he wasn't welcome. 

 

His fragile ego is quite funny to see. To the extent that he'll even create an alternative reality. 

[Rico1304]

Trump has ‘confirmed’ he didn’t want to see JC. 

[Rico1304]

He also said that the NHS would be in the table for any future trade deal.  Obviously remaining in the EU prevents that so JC will be backing remain now! 

[Dr Nowt]

It’s almost like those paying for Farage’s private jets, chauffeur-driven cars and houses may hold a malign interest in areas Brexit will help them exploit.

[Scooby Dudek]

Corbyn been getting slagged continually for refushing to meet Trump. No doubt all these people will now hold their hands up an apologise for incorrect reporting.

No. He's an imbecile because I generally think he's an imbecile. The crime figures in London during his stewardship have increased across the board and I don't think he did a good job in the wake of the terror attacks either. His comments about the attacks just being part and parcel of living in a major city were in very poor taste.

 

He seems to be one of these people that's more concerned with moralising his virtues and attacking detractors rather than actually doing his job and making sure the city prospers. He takes no ownership of any of the cities problems and instead just chooses to point the finger at the Tories rather than doing anything about it.

Okay, so nothing to do with the blimp... You should’ve just said that, no? As opposed to making up a lie about him organising the protest?

 

I’m not a big fan of his either. A real centrist, #FBPE type... He also came out in support of Owen Smith. However I don’t think think it’s fair to accuse him of something he didn’t do, only to attack him for it.

Okay, I understand your point of view and accept that my comments might've painted Khan in a false light. Apologies for calling your point of view nonsense on the other page.

That could have a significant impact on Brexit, the Tory leadership race and any election. The fear that a US trade deal will spell the end of the NHS will cause a lot of people to think twice.

"We Send £350m to the EU. Let's fund big pharma and insurance companies via the NHS instead"

 

Not as catchy.

[Section_31]

What's the difference between the yanks getting their grubby little mits on the NHS and Virgin care?

 

Baffled by this concept that the big bad Americans are about to tear up our socialist paradise.

 

G4S was claiming taxpayers' money for ankle tagging prisoners who'd been dead for months. Its prisons are fucked. Carilian collapsed, Capita is on its arse, the railway network is fucked. 

 

How pretty typical of the British public to allow all this to go on under their noses while berrating Corbyn for something they read somewhere while at the same time feeling sorry for Theresa May's tears or wishing David Miliband was Labour leader, but then share a hashtag from Owen Jones about one comment from this senile old bastard. 

 

Yeah let's mobilise kids, tbose online petitions won't sign themselves.

 

Nation of lazy, stupid Bastards.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I see that Sajid Javid was the only senior cabinet member who wasn't invited to the Trump state banquet. 

 

Now, I wonder why that could be?
