He said no such thing. What Corbyn is talking about is investing in the future, governments around the world do it. The problem with perpetual austerity is that ultimately you stifle economic growth and have to make more and more cuts.

In the absence of Apple a few words in defence of The Beatles. What they did that pretty much no other group had done before was to go beyond the pop format in the UK and produce new and more complex music. Pop groups, they weren't rock bands that term hadn't really been invented then, made a few records and either disappeared into obscurity or went into light entertainment. Regarding Oasis they had success by taking the early Beatles stuff and ruffing it up a bit. What became obvious is that they didn't have anything remotely like a Sgt Pepper in them.

Oh dear, so the best way of stopping Islamist suicide bombers it to threaten to shoot them? That will work obviously, I mean it's not as if they want to die. Combatting terrorism is going to be a hard task, but making an enemy of the Muslim community as a whole is stupidity. It might help you feel better after a rush of blood to the head, but a solution it is not.

I suppose it's still odds on that The Tories will win, but May really hasn't done well in this campaign. She has come across as cold, robotic and frankly a bit weird. Corbyn I suspect has surprised a few people who thought he was the living embodiment of Private Eye's Dave Spart. On The One Show he was relaxed, warm and funny.

There must have been people who suspected. All of the material he removed must have gone for biopsy, it's standard procedure, surely alarm bells should have rung when a lot of it turned out to be healthy tissue.

Noted, accusation of being a nonce violates site rules.

This one was done here on the forum a while ago. Maybe I am maybe I'm not, it's not relevant and none of your business.

Reminder: posts implying other members are paedophiles are not acceptable. Cut it out.

I'm not happy about this for sure, not because I'm against discussion about Islam, but because CC is starting to look like an anti-Islam forum. I don't believe that was ever intended to be its purpose. Punkape is talking crap. Regarding Enoch Powell he also said that there would be rivers of blood. Not withstanding the atrocity in Manchester there has not been anything remotely like rivers of blood and neither will there be. Brexit is entirely irrelevant in this case. Regarding "Our own fellow countrymen" some of them are Muslims. Sorry if that pisses you off, but it's true. You could also argue that Catholicism is divisive. I had to go to the funeral of a friend who died at a young age (no before you go there he didn't die of AIDS). Actually I had no idea he was Catholic, he never talked about it. What pissed me off was that those of us who were not Catholic were made to feel like outsiders. The priest actually said "those of you who are Catholic may now take the sacrament". He was our mate, but we were made to feel like we weren't really welcome at his funeral.

I don't disagree with everything Robinson says by any means, in particular that we need to acknowledge when bad things are going on, not sweep them under the carpet. The decision to do nothing about the Rotherham abuse and similar abuses is unbelievable and must have been taken at a high level. This person or persons is being protected and our chances of finding out who it was are negligible. Where he is lying through his teeth is when he says he's there to stop the hate. No of course he isn't, the hard right always come crawling out of the woodwork at times like this. There are things I dislike about Islam and for that matter Christianity, in particular intolerance. We could choose to go to war with Muslims as a whole or resort to failed policies of the past such as internment which has been mentioned here. It would be a disaster, we need the majority of Muslims to be on side. Given the nature of this concert there were no Muslims killed, that was certainly not the case on 9/11. These terrorists don't give a fuck about any of us, regardless of our religion. Muslim or not if you don't agree with their ideology you are an infidel and deserve to die.

Curious that there is no evidence of any of this happening. Fined £60 for displaying Christmas lights in your own window because it's anti social? Really? The only story of Christmas lights being banned because they might offend Muslims I can find is in Sweden 2016 and that was a myth that went viral.

What has happened to ordinary people, including children, on what should have been an enjoyable night out is incredibly sad. I find some of the posts on here depressing, the inevitable rants that it's all the fault of Guardian reading lefties and we should exact revenge on the Muslim community as a whole, but I've also found some of the posts heartening because it's easy to engage in knee-jerk reactions at times like this and much harder to be measured and constructive when emotions are running high. Macho posturing wont help those bereaved in this awful attack nor will it solve the problem. One thing the Islamist extremists and the likes of the EDL have in common is that they want to see division and conflict on our streets. I don't. That's pretty much all I want to say on this subject.

Or not as the case may be. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/no-one-in-five-muslims-do-not-support-isis-a6745206.html

I don't know, maybe. All I would say is make sure you know what you're voting for and vote for what you want, not what the Tory dominated press tell you to vote for.

True enough, but the sad thing is that with all the Brexit crap in the air it hasn't occurred to the voters that actually voting for Corbyn's Labour party is not the same as voting for New Labour. Like him or loath him he is different to Blair and Brown and he is Real Labour. If the electorate vote for any party other than Labour under the current system they will get the Maybot who wont even tell us plebs what she plans to do. Apparently we just have to accept that she's Strong and Stable.

You managed to shoehorn enough hobby horses in there to fill er....... a bus.

This has got a bit big and slow to load, so use version 3.

Also halal and vegetarian. What's not to like?

The word of some bloke on a golf course is hardly proof is it? I imagine there is more bollox talked on golf courses than most places, with the possible exception of this place. Until investigations, trials and convictions have taken place this is pure speculation. And you can't deport someone to a place they didn't come from can you? We can't even deport you since we have no idea which planet you came from.

Yes, great stuff.

Must be true, it's in the Daily Mail and Sun.

I've been no stranger to a few psychoactive substances, but I always hated amphetamines with a passion. It made me feel depressed and anxious and turned people around me into hyperactive bores who couldn't stop talking crap.

I'm not going to speculate on what happened, but one thing I'm pretty sure of and have been for some years is that we've reached the end of the story. By which I mean that disgracefully newspapers will run bollox about new leads etc because it sells copy, but there are no new leads and there's nothing left to say. She has been gone for ten years now and sadly unless there is a miracle she wont be coming back and whoever took or killed her has got away with it.
