And here comes to Tory mudslinging....
that is disingenuous - Mo Mowlam talked to the 'bad people' from the other side (in fact so did the Thatcher govt in secret) - there is a big difference between dialogue and open support/sympathy
Between this and Diane Abbott, there's a serious question mark over JC's judgement.
Would almost consider voting for them otherwise, especially if they dropped some of their more questionable polices such as nationalising the railways.

Well you could consider the Lib Dems - they're the genuine centrist party now that Labour has started to go back to it's left wing roots
Was actually considering that. It's almost as if May is actually secretly wanting to lose. Fox hunting and dementia "tax" (announced during dementia awareness week - couldn't make it up!) seem to be massive vote losers to me.
That link is about oversees sales through a website, that's different as electronic sales were mandated as a sale in country of origin not receipt.
It's different if you have a presence in that country, like multinationals which is what we are talking about
See here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_taxation
But yea, you can look at Astrozenica on how it paid 0 UK Corp Tax on £3bn global profits to see about profit transference :-/

Lib Dems are sadly a shambles or I'd vote for them - Tim Farron seems to be slowly catching on but too little too late.
hardly a playground argument - this isn't the press badgering the Lib Dem leader to check his Christian beliefs don't make him a homophobe - this is rather more serious than that and is a relevant part of Corbyn's character/beliefs that are rather worrying if he wants to be PM
SN: Do you codemn the IRA?
JC: I condemn all bombing - it's not a good idea.
SN: it's not the question.....
Not directly but by association he did answer the question.
It was simply a politicians answer.
He and all the others worked to bring an end to the troubles in Northern Ireland (for the most part) which meant for a lot of those involved making personal sacrifices and working closely with people they didn't necessarily agree with or even like.
Such are the things that have to be done in the search for peace.
Maybe focus on that fact rather than the 'word hockey' he played with the fat troll that is Stephen Nolan.

He was actively supporting people whose business was killing other British Citizens, In Britain. Comparisons with Thatchers relationship with Pinnochet or Saudi are way off the mark.
Which SS division did William Joyce (Lord Haw-Haw) serve in?
I do not really see any practical difference...
(And yes, I stand by my Sig. Look at history)
It isn't as simple as that though - if that were the case then why was he protesting on behalf of bombers/murderers? It isn't just a politicians answer but not only did he refuse to condemn them he's actively attended rallies, protests and vigils in support of them.
Very dangerous in a prime minister though - leaves him wide open to exploitation by people intent on no good who will play on his "decency".
Sometimes you have to 'get in to bed' with the enemy to earn their trust.
no you don't and there is nothing to indicate that he even considered them 'the enemy' - Mo was able to negotiate with the IRA/Sinn Fein
Quite possibly. I was just trying to point out that he's not actually a terrorist sympathiser, no more so than anyone else involved in the peace talks.

Media blackout? Don't you watch the BBC or Sky News? They had most of news coverage for a whole day on Tuesday. Also my YouTube feed gives me plenty of Corbyn and Labour related suggestions. Also bear in mind he was unheard of two years ago.
If I were Lib Dem voter I complain about the lack of media coverage then again with 10% polling and 9 MP's I would say the coverage they get is representative.
