General Discussion
I hate to agree with Dave but he is right ... now going to have a wash, as I feel dirty
My brother is travelling to New York today and he just read this on the way to the airport. His wife has an old passport so fingers crossed they let her in :-)
Anyone that attacks innocent people are cowards. The Paris attacks were terrible, I was in Paris in the summer with my family. Should we stop helping the vast majority of innocent people because of these idiots? Where do these people go if no one accepts them? That is exactly what ISIS want. They want for the "west" to appear unfriendly and against Islam, that helps their recruitment no ...
I didn't say it would ever happen, he just made a comment at a rally. That is different than saying he wants to get rid of the British Army but not as dramatic though!

So we are now judging him what he would have done before he was born. That was different time and would like to think even an anti-war campaigner would have seen the need to fight.
So he wasn't respectful because he dressed like he always dresses? How can you judge how he feels from the way he dresses? @wondering he is anti-war so he is standing by his principles. What exactly is wrong with that? I never wear a poppy but doesn't mean I don't appreciate what people did for the country in fighting the wars.
So what did he do that wasn't respectful then?
Lynne spot on
I don't understand the issue with him not singing the national anthem. He stood there in respectful silence. It is not like he was talking or texting during it!! The media seem to be trying to find anything to report about him and ideally negative. Give him a chance if you want a Labour party with traditional Labour values or at least something different to the Tories or most the other Tory ...
