[Zacs-Master]

On behalf of Labour of course.

Pointless.

[Zacs-Master]

The man, his actions or the Labour Party?

Or all 3?

[naomi24]

Well, now you mention it ....

[Zacs-Master]

Ha. Never a truer word.

[dannyk13]

I wonder how the families of the soldiers who fought, and lost their lives, there will feel about his grovelling apology?

[Zacs-Master]

Exactly Danny. Corbyn alienates another group of potential voters, displaying his firm grasp of how he will lead Labour back to victory.

[ichkeria]

As stated before the Labour PARTY's part in the Iraq war was minimal. It was the GOVERNMENT. The party as such had very little say. In fact the Tory party as a party probably had more supporters of the war than Labour. No one in their right mind would expect the Tory Party to apologise. It is also rather pointless now for Labour as a party to apologise. It is probably unwise for Mr Corbyn to bring this up

[Svejk]

What does Bliar think, has he said?

[agchristie]

They say it's never too late to apologise but as Naomi has said on many occasions, they are pointless and achieves very little.

Another example, Cameron apologising for Bloody Sunday. Provides great comfort to the victims families doesn't it?

As more years pass after an event, renders any apology insincere and without value.

"alienates another group of potential voters"

you mean "alienates even further, group of potential non-voters" if such a thing is possible...

with each passing day more and more people will realise what a useless fantasy world of ideology he is drowning in....

Oh Gawd and another reason for me to vote UKIP next time !

[Gromit]

It would be nice if the money grubbing slime ball who took us into this unwind able war, apologised, particularly for the hundreds of British Personnel who lost their lives pointlessly.
No idea why Corbyn is apologising, a bit of a hollow guesture.

[Baldric]

POINTLESS and SPINELESS and an insult to all our Servicemen and Women who died there!!!

[Zacs-Master]

Again, Exactly Balders.

[agchristie]

I think this will be one of many apologies he will make in his short stint as opposition leader....
