CM,

No need to shout 😉 The only political point I wanted to make is the defence of democracy. I really don't like Corbyn, but he has a right to free speech, unimpeded by involvement of the...

Coutrney Mil



Spot on. This is a comment about Corbyn's political agenda (which Corbyn would like to see become Government policy), which is outside the remit of his position.

From the BBC report:



The maintenance and deployment of Trident is a military task. The decision to aquire and use it is political. The expression of worry is that the politicians may undermine...

I have just realised that I have missed out the last critical step in my thoughts.

Corbyn feels that this, the second criticism of him and his views (potentially labour party policy) by the...

No I haven't. But it is now on my reading list.

I disagree, this is intensely political. Corbyn uses his CND credentials as a plank of his manifesto. When a serving Officer criticises it and sheds doubt on his maturity he is entering the...

I know, it was such a cultural shock when Sir Max Hastings moved away from the Torygraph. Luckily he kept his integrity. Still don't shoot the messenger (the Mail) Alain de Botton had some very...

Uncle Ginster,

How right you are. CDS stepped right into the trap laid for him. No reply was required from him, but he insisted on giving one which was immediately leaped upon and interpreted as...

Omegav6

Queen and country, brilliant emotive phrase. The monarch, currently a queen, has a constitutional position in that she does not make policy. She takes advice and can advise and ultimately...

OP,
His name is Corbyn, with a y. I don't like him, nor his ideology, but he is an elected representative of his constituents and elected leader of his party. I, personally, think he is wrong, but...
