Chilcot investigation. Blair was directly involved.
Fair enough, but I still put the bulk of responsibility on the shoulders of the US.
- Weapons have been sold to the Saudis who are the main propagators of Radical Islam, by the Conservatives?
Nothing changing, every Government throughout our history has done it. It's terrible, I absolutely agree, but let's not pretend Labour doesn't have blood on its hands either. I disagree with it, of course, but it isn't enough to sway a vote.
- The number of Police on the streets have been cut, leading to an increase in crime?
Has the number of police been cut? Absolutely, but for good reasons. To reduce the national debt we need to spend less, not more. Besides, it has been evident time and time again the police have all the necessary resources needed - crime has not increased, in fact,
violent crime is at its lowest in 30 Years.
- A failure to uphold the peace within our prisons, which has allowed for terrorist sympathisers to target mentally ill and depressed convicts and brainwash them?
This is ABSOLUTELY an issue and I agree with you, but it's very hard to change. Prisons are hard to reform, and more often than not, hard to fund. Radicalisation is an issue and needs to be fixed, but prisons are hard to reform and radicalisation is hard to target. Government is not the solution to this problem.
- A failure by the MI5 in monitoring a known terror suspect?
Nothing to do with the Conservatives OR Labour; massive failure on MI5's part.
I thought someone like yourself who puts themselves across as informed would understand that terrorists wish to spread xenophobia against religions and races, that they would like us to regress into a state where the death penalty is accepted. In addition, thank you for naming several cities in Europe, care to also label cities within the Middle East that have been bombed by ISIS also, or are you going to bypass them because it doesn't fit your rhetoric?
I disagree with this. I'm sorry, but "not becoming xenophobic" and "tolerance" just isn't working. No amount of tolerance will work against these people. They are literally coming for our children now, our children are at risk. We have tried tolerance. We tried 'getting on' with it. They continued. It's time we face that the Islamic State is a military and ideological issue that needs to be fought against.
When you completely get indoctrinated by IS nonsense, no amount of "love" or "tolerance" will stop you. These people see one thing - hatred. When they walk in our cities, they probably imagine spitting at us.
In addition, thank you for naming several cities in Europe, care to also label cities within the Middle East that have been bombed by ISIS also, or are you going to bypass them because it doesn't fit your rhetoric?
Sure.
Karbala, Baghdad, Tikrit, Kirkuk, Tuz Khormato, Hawija to name a few. I won't name all, as it's under IS territory, I'd be naming you all their territory, which is pointless.
In addition, want to know why this comment is poor? It's a double standard, you agree that it's shitty, but then go on to label that Corbyn will fund ISIS himself, but Theresa May and the Conservatives are already doing that by selling weapons to the Saudis, so do you actually disagree or is it just a swipe at Corbyn because you have different views to him?
No, you are actually completely mistaken - I disagree with May on the issue, completely. I utterly think her selling weapons to Saudis is a mistake, but I believe Corbyn will wreck far worse havoc on our country than she will. I made no attempt at a 'swipe at Corbyn' simply saying I think he'd actually do worse than she would. That doesn't mean I support her for it.
Just to add, you said about IS and the Middle East - that's another reason I DO want IS wiped out. The people in the Middle East deserve liberation.
The key to discussion and progress is to remain indifferent when discussing critical topics so that a judgement is able to be made without bias, as someone like yourself who aspires to be a politician/debater, you are failing to do so with comments like these.
Care to elaborate? Not sure I'm picking up on what you're connoting.
