Right, because the unions (who are on the NEC) wouldn't have allowed it to be dropped as their members' jobs depend on it. Why would they be against ending the benefit freeze?Which explains why Trident renewal isn't in it because Corbyn is famously against nuclear weapons and as he was, as you put it, 'in control of the manifesto' it naturally wouldn't make the cut.
Who else was on that Clause V list again? Maybe one of those groups contain one or two people who'd be against it.Right, because the unions (who are on the NEC) wouldn't have allowed it to be dropped as their members' jobs depend on it. Why would they be against ending the benefit freeze?
I'd honestly go to one if he did it near me. Alas no.Does anyone actually know anyone who goes to these Corbyn rallies?
I would if i was close to be fair.Does anyone actually know anyone who goes to these Corbyn rallies?
Yeah. I have a friend who lives about an hour away from Gateshead and he went today.Does anyone actually know anyone who goes to these Corbyn rallies?

Nobody is denying that police numbers have been cut. Directly linking them to terrorist attacks is pure dickhead cheap political points though.The numbers are a matter of public record.

Also remember, she cut the Army, Navy and Air Force even further than the police, and the fire service too.
Yeah, and when the Police completely disagree with him too you know it's nonsense. Oh wait:Nobody is denying that police numbers have been cut. Directly linking them to terrorist attacks is pure dickhead cheap political points though.
The Police Federation has renewed calls for more investment in neighbourhood policing in the wake of the London Bridge/Borough Market terrorist attack.
As London’s Met Police Chief admitted they needed to look at resourcing and strategy, Federation Vice-Chair Calum Macleod said: "We must first recognise the extreme bravery shown by police officers and other emergency services who, as always, put their lives in danger to help others. But we’re in danger of sleep-walking towards another tragedy if we don’t recognise right now that community policing is on the critical list."
Home Office figures show that between 2015 and 2016 more than 3,350 neighbourhood officers have been lost and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) warned of an ‘erosion in neighbourhood policing’ only last year.
"It’s what the Federation has been saying for years," said Mr Macleod. "We know the information to stop these mindless attacks exists within communities and great work is being done to forge strong, valuable relationships to capture this. But it cannot be jeopardised by reducing the contact the police has with the public."
He welcomed the extra investment that has been made in counter-terrorism policing but added: "This is not enough on its own – other areas, like community policing, need more boots on the ground now so that we can strengthen those neighbourhood relationships and stop the terrorists before they claim more lives.
"The reality is that all those of interest to the security services can’t be watched all the time and difficult decisions have had to be made."
Mr Macleod discounted any ideas that routinely arming all police was the answer: "When we last surveyed our members, 80% told us they did not want to routinely carry firearms. They do, however want access to better equipment, such as Taser and spit guards.”
But the spotlight is now firmly on the dearth of neighbourhood policing as the UK reels from its third terror attack in a couple of months. Mr Macleod added: “We have and will no doubt continue to hear remarkable stories of people’s selfless acts to help others in the days and weeks to come. But we must not lose sight of the key challenge now – and that is ensuring we have a resilient fully-staffed police service, including the neighbourhood policing resources it needs."
So stretched resources have had no effect at all? Presumably the cuts haven't had any negatives affects on anything then, let's just cut the the budgets further since there's no repercussions. May accused the authorities of scaremongering - downright brushing away their concerns so she could steamroll the cuts through.Nobody is denying that police numbers have been cut.

Daft twit probably thinks he's in a state school.Have they told Gove to hide in a pub until the election's over?
Yeah, and when the Police completely disagree with him too you know it's nonsense. Oh wait:
Elaborate?MAD!
And your credentials are...?So you prove the point of his bias by quoting a completely impartial source. wtf lol
So you think that just pumping more money money in will address extremism? So let's just pump in 100% more, put a few pence on income tax and all is sorted? Instead we could just tax business more, as that will build a vibrant and strong economy, oh I forgot Corbyn is already planning on doing that regardless of police funding.So stretched resources have had no effect at all?

Being able to spot a bias cheap political capital.And your credentials are...?
I said to the Mrs while watching that, "that youngster should give him the knuckle shuffle" but didn't see him do it, top lad.Gove does an interview with C4 News via Skype/FaceTime from a Wetherspoons

Encouraging, but it doesn't mean and awful lot...
Nice deflection but it's not going to work. May proposed cuts, she was warned it would put further strain on the intelligence services, she ignored it and openly attacked the leaders that warned her. Fortunately she has folk like you that will fight tooth and nail to protect her from even being remotely responsible for stretching resources past breaking point.So you think that just pumping more money money in will address extremism?

Bringing corporation tax back to the same levels as seen in distant past of 2011..So you think that just pumping more money money in will address extremism?

On a serious note though if you would care to you can easily find years worth of warnings about this very thing and you can equally easily find mountains of stuff about intelligence gathering and community policing.lol very droll
I'd have gone to one near me but it was the morning after the Manchester attack so was cancelled.Does anyone actually know anyone who goes to these Corbyn rallies?
And any complaints would almost certainly only be dealt with after the election. Wonderful timing.From the thread on that first tweet

And on that slideshow they didn't mention May and cabinet also opposed anti-terrorism legislation.
Mutually Assured DestructionElaborate?
The Defence Secretary? Or do you mean Tim Farron?Question time starting on bbc1 fallon vs sturgeon
i meant farron!The Defence Secretary? Or do you mean Tim Farron?
Rather take his word for it, someone thats been in a high ranking position in the police for a long time than the Torys or May who called it fearmongering? and the fecking media who clearly have an agenda against Corbyn.because this guy is the single source of truth with no bias, yay!
He's the king of the metaphor. I just wish someone would explain to him chances of shovelling shit on the end of a shovel while underwater.Farron is talking about haystacks, needles and magnets on QT. Surreal.
Ah thanks, thought you were just calling me mad. Unless it was a cunning double entendre...Mutually Assured Destruction
vote Lib DemI miss your frequent references to immigration mugs and abstainers that stopped after Corbyn pledged controls on immigration and put forward a manifesto that did this to the poorest
All things have to end, I suppose.Tweet
