Probably due to the fact that Labour relies heavily on the Asian vote.

has he said some Nazis are fine people? If not, then yes, he's different.

[ToraToraTora]

Sauce for the goose AOG!

[Peter Pedant]

yes completely different
of course

Jay-Cee does not have a majority in the house of commons, is not Prime minister
and has as far as I know - condemned neo nazis

( but yeah AOG he could be one himself - if you say so.
You havent spoken on this subject before.
Yup corbyn as a neo-nazi - I have heard stupider things on AB today )

//has he said some Nazis are fine people? If not, then yes, he's different.//

absolutely agree Jno

[anotheoldgit]

jno

/// has he said some Nazis are fine people? ///

No Trump has not said some of the Nazis are fine people, so stop trying along with many others of twisting his words.

This is what he actually said:

"I think there is blame on both sides. You look at both sides. I think there is blame on both sides,"

"You had some very bad people in that group. You also had some very fine people on both sides," he added.

Certain people on this site, along with the MSM, are not interested in what he actually said just what they wanted him to say. Haven't you learnt that yet AOG?

If a comparison is to be drawn between the utterances (or absence thereof) of the US President and the UK Leader of the Opposition, it’s in the matter of the latter’s continued support of the Venezuelan regime, in which double standards are most definitely being applied.

But then I’ve always suspected that left wing politicos take the view that hating someone is far more reprehensible than killing them.

[andy-hughes]

President Trump is quoted as saying ""You had some very bad people in that group. You also had some very fine people on both sides," he added. "

It is typical of President Trump, who has yet to master the art of thinking on his feet essential to any politician.

President Trump has learned that being seen to be even-handed is a good thing.

What he hasn't learned is that there are some situations in which being even-handed is simply not possible.

Seeing good in Nazi agitators is one of those occasions - because there is obviously no good to be seen, making the President's remark not only patently untrue, but also exhibiting his weakness in correctly assessing the truth of a situation before opening his mouth to speak about it.

The President is a naïve individual who has never learned to think before speaking because prior to being President, he has never needed to.

Time to think before you speak Mr President - you continue to look like an idiot when, as in this occasion, you fail so to do.

aog, it’s a pity you headed your question as you did. The article is about Jeremy Corbyn’s disgraceful attitude to Pakistani sex offenders but you’ve given the reader the opportunity to jump on the Trump bashing wagon again – which many of them have done with their usual relish - completely ignoring Corbyn’s idiocy.

Trump and Charlottesville: 'Amoral' president stuns world

[naomi24]

^And another one ignoring Corbyn. See what I mean, aog?

[mikey4444]

This thread isn't about Corbyn....its about Trump and his unsuitability to be POTUS.

[Peter Pedant]

we can only write as we find Nigh
and not as we think we should find if we re-wrote the lead piece....

//"You had some very bad people in that group. You also had some very fine people on both sides," Trump added.//

and so he says some of the neo-Nazis are fine people

AOG is arguing the contrary point innit - that Trump supports the neo-nazis.

[naomi24]

No, Mikey - it isn't. Read the link. That's all about Corbyn, What's your response to that?

[Peter Pedant]

// Much Has Been Said About Trump Refusing To Specifically Condemn White Supremacists And Neo Nazis, //

and we are ! saying a bit more....

so you want us to discuss s/o else - um yeah - well start a thread about it and label it clearly !

[-Talbot-]

I won't call anyone thick but the question is

But Is Our Own Opposition Leader Any Different?

[naomi24]

PeterPedant, //and we are ! saying a bit more.... //

Clearly. I'd expect nothing less.

[mikey4444]

The White House revolving door.

More importantly, who is going next and when ?

I'm not sure about who but whoever it is will probably be gone within a few days. Its a complete and utter shambles.
