Corbyn’s a massive issue for loads of potential labour voters like. It’s not even up for debate. 

[Dr Gloom 21813]

It’s like the whole nuclear deterrent line we were hearing today. Expect to hear a lot more of that kind of chat in the coming weeks 

[Tom 14011]

It’s fucking ridiculous like but it’s to be expected.

It’s not ridiculous though. It all undermines his ability to be this country’s leader in the eyes of much of the population.

Legitimate question, could Boris Johnson nuke someone without Parliament's say so? Could Corbyn refuse to nuke someone and overrule Parliament?

[PaddockLad 17079]

There isn’t a conceivable scenario where the UK would launch a unilateral nuclear strike against any other foreign power

Is that what he's getting stick for? I thought it was the counter offensive notion. i.e. someone nukes us, Corbyn won't nuke back. Putting aside the fact that actually, once you get into that territory, the only purpose of the counter-nuke is revenge and massacre.

I saw a comment from Paul Mason that the future for Labour should be to concentrate on more modern "working class" groups like the low paid workers in the cities as well as nurses, health workers etc and they should leave the hardline europhobe racists behind.

 

I reckon a venn diagram of old, leave/racist, northern labour voters which included the "God bless the queen/nuke em all" camp would be pretty overlapping.

 

I reckon he has a point.

 

BTW did anyone notice how the BBC edited out Johnson looking like a tramp and laying the wreath upside down and substituted old footage?

 

Maybe the cunts should photoshop Michael Foots "donkey" jacket out of history just for balance.

The U.K. would never launch a preemptive strike and I believe the PM has full power to launch a retaliatory strike. There simply wouldn’t be time for parliament to convene and agree.

Maybe after half of the UK is decimated we can open talks with the aggressor and they’ll see our POV.

Once half the UK is decimated, aren't we kind of done with that war? I mean unless they're actively genocidal, what difference does it make if we nuke them back?

[ewerk 30266]

Coward.

Aye, but they said “sorry, production eror” so that’s ok.

 

[Tom 14011]

As a man with a fairly worthless degree in film and television production I can tell you they’ll have had to go to some effort to replace that footage with the 2016 equivalent.

Fucking “database errors” honestly man. 

Its Stalinism.

[Monkeys Fist 42066]

Shouldn’t they get a hefty fine and whatnot for political fuckery in an election build up? 
 

( We know  that the BBC dept is ToryTV now, but I thought they had  to pretend to be impartial during elections?) 

[ewerk 30266]

Of course it was accidental. Not everything is a conspiracy or institutional bias. 

[Meenzer 15407]

BBC News never messes up.

And look who's doing the broadcast round this morning. My main man Rishi.

And sent out this morning to dodge questions on Russia and the cost of the Tory plan. Poor fucker didn't stand a chance. The audience were actually laughing at him come the end.

There wouldn’t be a parliament.

Aye, I suppose there's no chance of them targeting Scotland unfortunately.

Point of Order; Scotland, with its military bases and “secret” bases, would be near the top of the target list I’d say. 

[ewerk 30266]

Aye but no one would give a shit if it were nuked. In fact having spent time in parts of Glasgow it may already have happened and no one noticed.

[Monkeys Fist 42066]

 

Fair point
