Yep...thanks for posting this. I saw it yesterday on a couple of news sites and was mightily impressed. From what I saw, he waited around to speak to the vets after the formal ceremony, and was there when all the other dignitaries left.

I am not a huge fan of Corbyn, but I admire his integrity.

I will, Tilly....damned if he does....damned if he doesn't....

I'm quite liking this man......x

Damage control too late

Corbyn is gaining in popularity & general respect. Cameron is looking quite rattled at times.

The more The Daily Mail attempts to savage him, the more Jeremy looks like a real human being - not a product of the (failed) Labour NuTory Lite project.

[DaisyNonna]

A real human being?

[gness]

I think so, Daisy....and more so if you look at the ones he's rattling...x

[DaisyNonna]

Beg to differ

What would one expect from such a fan of the Armed Forces, he really has no idea

From above Link

Fellow Labour MP Simon Danczuk asked last night: “Is Jeremy Corbyn off his head?”
“With the threat from ISIS and Putin’s aggression in Eastern Europe we need a strong armed forces now more than ever.”

[sunny-dave]

He thinks that we need a Defence Force ... not a "poncing around the world fighting other people's wars, like we are a still great imperial power" Force.

Scrap Trident (who exactly are we ever planning to use it on?), scrap most of the adventurist *** and let's have highly trained and effective Armed Forces defending the UK.

Seems sensible to me ...

[Baldric]

///Scrap Trident///

Clearly another one who does not understand the meaning of Deterrent!

[sunny-dave]

It scares the carp out of me Balders - so I'm deterred ...

... unfortunately most of the people who wish evil upon you/me/us don't give a flying feck about Trident - short of taking them down one by one and launching them out of the tubes I can't see it has any relevant 'deterrent' value for most of the mad mullahs (other terrorists are available, terms and conditions may apply).

[Baldric]

I still reckon scrapping it would leave us a lot more vulnerable than we are with it.

If a war was started with the UK, do you think there would be any chance that we would win it? not a hope in hell, the amount of troops cut, Navy, Air force,
Yes once we ruled the waves, now a laughing stock.

[fiction-factory]

When you say this lot, do you mean Cameron's lot or Corbyn's lot, Bouncer?
