In May 2015 I was elected as a Labour Party Councillor. My Ward vanished in May 2019 so l have my life back. I was the last ever Labour Harbour Ward Chair.

Many years ago l went from the Cumbrian coast to inner London for a job. Very worthwhile and it opened my mind to difference. I had never spoken to a Muslim or a Jew and had seldom met a Black person. I got a Christmas card from a Muslim, l was humbled.
@JeremyMcLellan
@mehdirhasan
He lost an uncle during the Suez business, l had two uncles involved in that campaign. That was our bond. I prize that card to this day.
I wonder how many people would fill the street and march against these people without having to think twice, upsetting Islam might upset more people or frighten people into saying nothing.
I never usually speak about this, on my antisemitism timeline, but if you compare what happened to girls in the United Kingdom, systematic sexual raping depravity, you will understand what is happening with Hamas and all the extremists terrorists, Islamic jihad…..

I have a confession, my family were soldiers of the crown prior to 1960. Each and every conflict that merits a page in the book my blood was involved, l say that with pride.
@mooreholmes24
Question. 1916 opened the door to December 6th 1921 did it not ? Raising the flag at the GPO in April 1916 ensured that our flag came down in 1921.
@johnmcdonnellMP
We in Labour should be getting ready to forming an administration due to Boris. Sadly you Abbott and Corbyn have sunk us. On Friday l hope you resign.
@PeterTatchell
His life is his business, who he sleeps with during his lifetime concerns who exactly ? Only the other people who have engaged in sexual activities, and nobody else. Private life, means just that.
@noaheretz
@cenkuygur
The savage attack on Oct 7th merited a savage response. If the Israeli state had sat on its hands and done nothing, the attacks from Hamas would continue.
@KateMaltby
Accused means not found guilty in a court of law, its just unsubstantiated until the law become involved, surely he merits the benefit of a trial and a jury ?
@RobLooseCannon
His endless use of rent boys and males of the lower social order was the factor which destroyed him. If he had kept his male sex acts within the great and those of social status, it would not have made the courts.
@IainDale
Moral degenerate without a doubt, but a criminal ? The law is not involved at all and that's the current state of play. So is he guilty of breaking the law or not ? The media is reduced to judging morals ?
@ChronicleLive
It's always sad when someone who played a role in your life dies. Tv impacted my life and the cast and crew of this show were family favourites. Oz, Bomber, Moxy and the soundtrack still bring back good memories. RIP.

His motivation, the food bank figures, the children living in poverty and those being given hell due to Universal Tax Credits.
@johnmcdonnellMP
The guy will be the standard bearer for red socialism and along with Paul Mason they have together turned people off Democratic Socialism for a generation. I hope you Corbyn and Abbott are pleased with yourselves.

@AnushkaAsthana
RD is not a follower of any faith, he doesn't have a belief in God. What he was saying that the culture of the land he grew up in was Christian. These Christians don't cause him any worry or stress. He can't say the same for Islam.
@FSchomberg92906
However bloody the hands are, the guys in London are just as bad are they not. Decent people will never really know which operations were allowed to go ahead for various reasons. The bigger picture is seldom seen by mere mortals.
@MidiaPetronilla
Tact was never his strongest point. That video should be shown inside every Catholic school in NI. Even though the events are long ago, those who starved to death for cause merit admiration. 100,000 people turning up for Roberts Sands funeral this speaks volumes.
@JWoodcockMP
J McDonnell, is of Irish Catholic background and people with his heritage will remember Churchill and his desire to pacify Ireland with the Black and Tans.
@eddiemarsan
A few years back he brought his boat into Whitehaven Harbour, while out with the dog l had the good fortune to meet TS and his goodlady and he is a gentleman.
In truth we met him twice while he was berthed here.
@MarkWilson1980
Living in England, I regard the GFA to be a positive step. The new First Minister is a Republican, who attended the funeral of HMQ and the Crowning of HMK. This step must be seen for what it is, off to the Whitehouse in March and conduct herself as First Minister for all.
@GlenMitchell1
Quick question. If he has been married 4 times, is that due to the deaths of his wives ? Or is it down to a divorce ? I ask this because he said he was a Catholic in good standing.
@JamieBrysonCPNI
If Stakeknife was paid by the UK, and he murdered others paid by the UK, then who are the terrorists ? Being IRA and being on the English payroll means your Brits surely ?
@SaraReyi
When a Jew from across the globe states he or she stands with Israel, they get up and fly to Israel and join the IDF.
How many Arabs have taken the Jewish example and went over and took up arms to fight for these Arabs ?
@IrelandTAL32
England chopped 3 regions because the population would not favour the Unionist stance. Reducing to 6, gave them nearly 100 years, and now they have clearly lost the majority in the 6.
@JewishChron
Then the Israeli state should respond by halting the supply of Intelligence to our Security Forces in response. When the Islamic terror strikes the UK, maybe then we will grasp how valuable the bond we have with the Jewish state.
@JamieBrysonCPNI
@chhcalling
How do you think politics work. MI5 will have his file and London would have agreed his rise to power because they had the capacity to chop him at will.
@TracyAnnO
@Dannythefink
I might throw my own view into this struggle for survival, these people have but one wish and that is the removal of the Jewish state and all Christians within the Islamic world, period.
@ChrisWhiteside3
@politicshome
John is a sincere man, he is a guy who favours a united Ireland, he is from Irish stock, his contempt for Margaret is shared by many. McVey is hated by many also.
@marcowenjones
When these guys look back on this period of life, they might thank Israeli troops for not shooting them. If those soldiers had been American or British l would not feel so safe.
@PeoplesMomentum
This guy lacks humility, he should make a clear statement that people view him to be toxic. He and Abbott and not forgetting about McDonnell. Throw into the mix Lansman and the red Momentum cult and that is why we have turned a great party into a protest group.
@SageDespatches
Can l ask, once Gerry dies can MI5 publish a list of all the IRA members on the payroll of HMG. Also do the same for the Loyalist group members. Then we can discover who was not being paid.
@R4FcMuK7k8IhUKz
From the failure of the Easter rising until the day the Union Jack was taken down in Dublin castle was how long ? December 6th 1921. which was 2053 days.
@GuidoFawkes
@GiselaStuart
Finally the light of decency has been turned on. Someone with courage has made a passionate speech about Labour's failings under Corbyn. Well done.
@MarkWilson1980
Just a thought, if Mi5 are running him then he works for the interests of the Crown. Doesn't that mean they you are both on the same side ?
@johnmcdonnellMP
People would respect you if you resigned from Westminster.
Your ship sank before leaving the harbour, and to be blunt you can't need the money.
@paulmurphy68
Quick question. If wee Martin and big G were bribed by London to follow a London strategy, then does it not show to the Unionist community that London does not have any genuine interest in the long term future of NI ?
@SJAMcBride
Digging into the past benefits who exactly ? Sins of the father mean nothing, and it should be viewed to be a positive thing when people turn away from violence.
@Trickyjabs
A simple question, in what year was our party membership at the same level that it is today ? Ask the same question of the Tory Party and see if they respond ?
@Muinchille
It's what they don't release that gives London the power in NI. Those who aren't bribed by seats in the Lords, are made aware that a file is open on them.
@JamieBrysonCPNI
Can I ask a simple question. If those in elected office are so outraged and disgusted by the formation of the new administration, why don't they resign each and every seat, and that includes both chambers in Westminister ? Show the people some integrity ?
@GlenMitchell1
Since he is RC, none of the marriages have been conducted under Catholic Rites, in the eyes of Rome he is not married, hence his divorces have no stain upon him.
@LeftySeparatist
They speak for many who fear the impact of Islam upon Western life. The Jews, Christians and Gays all have cause to tremble at the thought of Islam. Militant Islam does not negotiate, they are on a Holy Mission from Allah, Peace be upon him.
@REWearmouth
@DPJHodges
The guy should be sectioned, the sooner Abbott, McDonnell and Barry are chopped from the front benches the better for Labour. Expel, Milne and Lansman also.
