    There’s nothing unclear about the Labour party’s stance on Brexit. Inadvisable politically? Perhaps. But it’s only unclear if you want it to be.

    Corbyn has declared himself to be Brexit neutral, not the party.

    I disagree. Anti-zionism is not anti-semitism.

    Out of interest, if we conclude the negotiations with a 'no deal' and have to revert to WTO rules which at the moment is a distinct possibility, then what happens to the issue of the NI/RoI border?

    It's a disguise used to push through anti-Semitic opinions. We see muslims attacked in the same way on the right as they hide behind similar disguises. In the same rant he goes on to attack Israel and how he will never support Labour friends of Israel, which lets the disguise slip.

    Fair enough. I can accept people will have different opinions.

    I believe anti-Zionism is used as a way to disguise anti-Semitism and I also believe that whenever there is a terrorist attack people use that as an excuse to disguise their islamophobia.

    I am pro Palestine and anti zionist. I don't have any problems with Jewish people. It's really not that tricky.

    99% of us wouldn't have a stance on such a subject and neither should our politicians, there are 1000 issues that concern us more all closer to home..

    I disagree. It's all linked to our historical and current foreign policy and that impacts us.

    You don't really agree with many people do you.

    This is a discussion forum so you tend to have people with differing opinions generating discussion.

    I never mentioned racism which can take many forms, I specifically mentioned Islamophobia and if it is so obvious you will be able to give some examples of it

    The EU have said they would not allow a hard border in Ireland.

    The only way to solve it is a one state solution with an enlarged Israel absorbing the Palestinians

    It stays as it is as far as the UK is concerned with no border, Should the EU impose one in the republic that is their decision, ( The EU will suddenly find a technical solution )

    Gotta admit at this point a Johnson majority is looking pretty likely. Short term everything is falling into place for the Tories. Still think they're pretty f*cked in the long term, with their aging voter base combined with the fact that the Brexit process will be a lot longer than they've claimed which will enrage a lot of people, and the fact that people have seen the ugly truth of austerity. I'm lucky enough to have a decent paying job and be alright in life but I hope the disabled, poor and otherwise vulnerable people reading this who've been most affected by cuts can take some solace in that.

    If Labour put someone more credible than Corbyn as Leader then they would walk this and any other election. The fact we are still looking at a Tory majority is down the Corbyn. He maybe loved by the Corbynistas within the party, but it is not party members who win you elections.
