(02 Dec 2015, 9:31 am)Andreos1 wrote The press have been blaming Corbyn for backing down over the airstrikes and implying it is his fault if they actually happen via sensationalist headlines.
Despite lambasting him days previously for being against them.
Ignoring the fact it is Cameron and Fallon who are behind the whole airstrikes idea and are publically (Cameron in particular) stating it is to support their allies...
The public will fall for the media bias too.
That is the sad thing.
Corbyn did reveal his Dad was from Sunderland recently.
He has mackem connections just like Sturgeon!
On a different note, has anyone seen this about the Geordie KGB spy?

I had heard of Abel, but had no idea of his local connections.
Abel was from North Shields I think and went to Monkseaton High School, I think Mr Abel Sr. was running from Tsarists in the early 20th Century, Tom Hanks' new film is a decent film, worth a watch if your into things like that, The Bridge of Spies, it is about the Hollow Nickel Case and the shootdown of Francis Gary Powers U2 over Sverdlovsk and the efforts of Tom Hanks' character to initiate a spy swap at Gleinicke Bridge in Berlin.
When it comes to this area, at one time wasn't this area so socialist in there belief, that parts of the Area were called 'Little Russia' i'm sure somewhere like Chopwell got that name and that they have Karl Marx and Trotsky on there pit banner
As for the air strikes, personally, I am for them, and I am pleased Labour have a free vote rather than being whipped, and I am pleased we have a parliament of elected representatives who have to make a vote on these issues rather than just being told the RAF going to war.
I dont like the witch hunt that the press is on against Corbyn, saying things like he is a Jihadi is not just wrong, it is completely over the top, it is wrong, nasty and seems like over the top playground bullying. It seems the way this is going the press are trying to force him out or they are trying to initiate a coup within the Labour Party to try and oust him
