So it was a close tricky one really

Only some of those are true, and some of the ones that are true are also true for Tory politicians too.

The British government was talking with Sinn Fein (IRA-linked) at the same time Corbyn was.

You may want to actually check each claim you've made, but like millions of others, you'll vote for anyone but Corbyn because you believe the media.

It's almost as if the peace process in Northern Ireland required that the British government had talks with the IRA. I mean, I know the Army much preferred to help the Loyalists kill Catholics talk to Unionists and all that, but what a weird concept.

Plus as you say, Thatcher did it first, long may she remain in the ground.

No shit. Not even you are that out of touch though.

The Minamino signing isn't bad news either.

Michael Edwards is a bloody genius. The mancs really dropped the ball by not knowing about his release clause. £7.25 million for a player worth easily three times that. That is daylight robbery to be fair.

Of course there are no problems Tory ministers are they... ohh well apart from a PM who has been sacked from his cabinet post before, from his newspaper post, considered a security risk by MI5 and is an out and out racist, anti-Islamic, antisemitic, homophobic, chap. oherwise he's squeaky clean :rofl: , a foreign secretary who was sacked for illegally selling arms

Actually, the neighbourhood where we live (while in he UK) is called St. Peter's. The other St. Peter missed out on his chance to meet me by croaking nearly 2 millennia ago.

Im no fan of Johnson, but someone needed to get Brexit done. Corbyn sat on the Brexit fence, and threw out random deluded schemes to bankrupt the UK....it was pretty obvious why the British people didn't want to go that route. Johnson really was Hobson's choice.
