Duncan Smith demands Corbyn IRA apology

39 seconds of Iain Duncan-Smith proving to the world what a nefarious and hypocritical opportunist he really is.

Leaping into the current conservative party and media frenzy of finding any connection no matter how tenuous between Jeremy Corbyn and "links" to terrorism or the IRA, Duncan-Smith seeks an apology from Corbyn for, "trying to equate all  violence in Northern Ireland as though it were on an equal par with terrorists trying to blow people up as they tried to do in Manchester before, in Birmingham and in London, with people who were serving, sent there to serve, like myself in Northern Ireland doing our duty to try and uphold peace, that is a disgrace and I want him to apologise for that".

The problem for Duncan-Smith is that he has created a complete distortion of what Jeremy Corbyn actually said and placed his own warped interpretation on the words.

In this he is not alone, as the media, television pundits and other conservative politicians have been doing the same thing since last Friday when Corbyn made his, "War on terror is simply not working" speech. The difference with Iain Duncan-Smith is that in his haste to get onto the personal attack band wagon, not only has he distorted Corbyn's words, but he has created a rambling and confused interview "speech" with which to do it. Additionally to insert the phrase that, "many of my colleagues lost their lives doing it" is clearly just a cheap shot for emphasis and effect which demonstrates again, how cynical and hypocritical this former conservative party leader and former Secretary of State actually is.

Duncan-Smith you may remember is the person caught on television cheering, shouting yes,yes,yes in the House of Commons as more cuts to disability and welfare payments  were announced in the Osborne budget some years ago.

A truly horrible man, full of bile, spite and hypocrisy who fails on so many levels and anything he says can be dismissed as spiteful cynicism.

He has failed in everything he has tried or touched in the past and this 39 second contribution is no exception.  .

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria. This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...
