If you think Toby Young is unfit to be on the university regulator board because he tweeted about women’s tits but you voted for Jeremy Corbyn to be PM after he took cash from Russia & Iran, and supported Hamas & the IRA, then you’re an idiot.

If appearing on RT and Iranian television is 'taking Iranian and Russian cash' then surely 25% of the EU who use Gazprom (Russian state-owned) are also Kremlin stooges?
-
Not to forget how many Mps from the two main parties have appeared on RT. Call one out but not the others. Strange.

But not Corbyn. Are you being disingenuous or genuinely confused? Whichever, you are missing the point. Again.
-
Think you are missing the point that looking at Corbyn's past you couldn't rule him out to support ISIS.
-
Delusional as fuck. This sort of idiocy should get you sent to a gulag for re-education.

Corbyn is not 'every British government' He has spent his career against wars and selling arms to dictators

But corbyn would stop doing it. I assume you would favour that?
-
Currently 170K+ UK jobs are in the arms industry with around 55K+ of them related to the arms export trade. Would JC support the loss of those 55K UK jobs and would the unions support him in it?
-
How much of that is Saudi?
-
You mean jobs supported by Saudi sales? Hard to quantify, it’s still in the many thousands.
-
Difficult one that, weighing up jobs against dead kids.
-
It is a difficult one yes. Morally there’s many things that can be done. Countries that object to our arms trade can freely stop selling us the crude oil that powers our industry. The 55K workers involved can resign. Nations can stop selling us component parts.
-
Morally, what can be done is for us to take a lead and stop arming and training the Saudis.
-
And I wouldn’t disagree with that. Personally I’d take it further and reconsider overseas development aid too. Despots around the world that bully their own citizens and neighbours with weaponry deserve their funding cutting off.

Whether he would or wouldn't I'm sure we can agree that appearing on a TV show is more worthy of condemnation than selling weapons.
-
Isn't
-
Point is, why do either? Isn't a MPs salary enough to live on that you feel justified to take £20k from a regime with such woeful human rights.
-
Fair enough. Would be interesting to see what he did with the money. Donated to charity?
-
Indeed. He claimed that he gifted it to his local constituency office but there is no record of it ever having been donated.
-
You personally looked through said records?
-
This isn't new, it been covered by a few sources. And the his local constituency office accounts have been checked. They're public records.
-
You make it sound like it’s a Google away. Doubt that. Is it?
